After ferryman Lu Changfeng's father passed away, his uncle schemed against him to divide and strip away the family property, forcing him and his mother to live in a dilapidated boat shed. By a twist of fate, he obtained a psychic golden carp stone sculpture. The spiritual object acknowledges kindness rather than greed, and only through sincere goodness can its divine power be awakened. Lu Changfeng is untempted by wealth and stays down-to-earth in his conduct. Guided by the golden carp, it helped him rescue the drowning daughter of a wealthy family, Lin Qingshuang, and the two gradually develop mutual affection. From embankment crises to sudden turmoil on their wedding day, the Lin family's accountant absconded with funds, bringing overwhelming debts and crises one after another. Lu Changfeng always adhered to his original aspirations, punished evil and promoted good, repaid grievances with virtue, and forgave his repentant uncle. The golden carp completed its merits and returned to the rivers and seas. Relying not on sudden windfall but on his character to rise up, he stayed together with Lin Qingshuang, guarding the peace of the mortal world in one corner.
