Reborn on the day of rural assignment in the 1970s, Xu Qinghe resolutely gives up her secure job at the supply and marketing cooperative and volunteers to travel to the far northwest. In her previous life, she worked like an ox and a horse for ten years for the scoundrel Chen Weiguo, only to be ultimately poisoned to death through a conspiracy between him and Liu Yuru. Given another chance at life, she stays away from the scoundrel and devotes herself to studying soil improvement in the Gobi Desert. There, she finds mutual understanding and lasting love with special commissioner Lu Song, rising from an ordinary female worker to a National Model Worker. Meanwhile, Chen Weiguo, whose misdeeds are countless, ultimately ends up in prison, paying for the blood debt of her previous life amid the yellow sands.
