Miao village girl A Yao saves cliff-fallen scholar Long Jin at Eagle Mouth Cliff, bringing him back to Thousand Waterfalls Village according to the mountain's old rule of 'finders keepers'. From a comedic romance to joining hands in starting a business—planting black-bone rattan, fighting drought to find water, protecting the divine elephant ancient tree, and outsmarting fraudsters and foreign merchants—they lead the Thousand Waterfalls, Dragon Pool, and Lime villages to build cooperatives for poverty alleviation and prosperity, ultimately guarding the green hills and clear waters while harvesting sincere love.
