Modern agricultural researcher Lin Wei transmigrates into an impoverished ancient village woman. After waking up from falling into the water, she uses modern knowledge to detoxify poisonous jujubes and make jujube cakes, starting her business by setting up a stall in the county town, quickly opening up sales channels and cooperating with a storytelling house for supply. Discovering wild chili peppers to expand her new products, she successively hires relatives and friends such as Auntie Tian, her third uncle, and her cousin to help out, paying off debts while resolving old grudges between the Lin and Zhou families. After her father is conscripted for corvée labor, Lin Wei decisively sets up a stall at the construction site to sell ginger soup and steamed buns. Her business booms, earning silver daily, and she becomes determined to buy cattle and land, qualify as a middle-class household to be exempt from corvée labor, and lead her whole family and fellow villagers step by step out of poverty toward prosperity.
