In his previous life, Su Chen was a heavy drinker and compulsive gambler who personally ruined his wife and daughter's lives. Overcome with remorse in his old age, he jumped off a cliff, only to be given a chance to live again because he had saved the life of the Mountain Lord when he was a child. He is also bestowed with the Mountain Lord's physique, the ability to speak the language of all beasts, and the power to command them. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back in 1980, on the very day his wife, Xia Wan'er, was driven to desperation and his daughter, Xiaoxiao, was suffering from a persistent high fever. Facing the wife and daughter whose hearts he had broken, Su Chen vows never to repeat his past mistakes. While others risk their lives venturing into the mountains, he catches pheasants with his bare hands, outsmarts wild boars, drives away wolves, and digs up century-old ginseng!
