While undergoing her tribulation in the immortal cultivation realm, the Venerable Immortal Lingxiao is struck by heavenly lightning and sent through time, her primordial spirit entering the body of Ling Xiaoman, an orphaned young woman living in a mountain village in the 1980s. With her spiritual power severely depleted, she can use magic only three times a day. Nevertheless, relying on limited abilities such as spiritual perception and immobilization spells, she hunts wild boars in the mountains, gathers lingzhi mushrooms, and digs up century-old ginseng. Together with her younger sister, she rises from a dilapidated mud house to become a prominent businesswoman in the county town. Along the way, she defeats village bullies, romantic rivals, spoiled young masters, and wealthy merchants from the provincial capital. As she spends more time with Zhao Yuncheng, a kind-hearted young man, the two gradually fall in love. Ultimately, in the mortal world, she finds a warmth more genuine and comforting than a thousand years of immortal cultivation.
