Li Mo, a young laborer, heads to the Kunlun Mountains to collect stones to pay for his father's surgery. There, he unexpectedly awakens the ability to see through raw stones and identify and repair jade, powers bestowed upon him by the Mountain God of Kunlun. Using his supernatural abilities to distinguish valuable jade from worthless rock, he meets Ayi Guli, a Uyghur woman, and joins forces with Lin Yu, a discharged soldier and old friend, to make their way in the jade trade. Along the way, they face repeated sabotage from unscrupulous merchants such as Bai Wenli and Chen Hu. Remaining committed to honesty, Li Mo exposes counterfeits with his expert eye, opens a jade shop called Kunlun Fate, expands with a branch in Xi'an, and wins the gold medal at a jade-carving competition. As his business flourishes, he and Ayi Guli fall in love, ultimately achieving success in both career and romance.
