Reborn in the 1980s in a mountain village in Northeast China, Li Changsheng awakens from a drunken stupor to face a vicious debt collector at his door and his timid wife and daughter. Once a hopeless gambler, he resolves to turn his life around completely. Relying on his family's ancestral hunting skills, he ventures into the frozen wilderness to hunt wild rabbits, kill wild boars, and raid wolf dens, accidentally discovering rare treasures such as golden-haired cinnabar and a century-old mountain ginseng. He takes on local bullies, protects his wife and daughter, and builds a home for his family. After leasing 3,000 mu of mountain forest, he unexpectedly discovers a gold vein, underground Japanese military fortifications, and a mysterious tomb guarded by nine coiled dragons.
