Ye Zhou is reborn in 2004 in a fishing village in eastern Fujian. After escaping his loan-shark troubles, he relies on his past life's experience and guidance from a system to get started gathering seafood along the coast. Teaming up with Shen Mannang, a clever and capable widow, he establishes Yu Zhou Seafood and fights back against the business suppression of local bully Lei Peng. With the support of his ally Liang Guofeng, Ye Zhou gradually builds his capital, progressing from selling premium seafood to assembling an ocean-going fishing fleet. Ultimately, he establishes a seafood empire and finds true love with Shen Mannang.
