In his previous life, Lin Chuan, the village chief's only son, became paralyzed and was abandoned by his wife, Li Qiaohong, and Xu Wenjie. He died in the bitter winter, only learning at the end of his life that Zhou Xiaoyun, the daughter of a high-ranking provincial official, had waited for him her entire life. Carrying the resentment of his past life, he returns to 1980 and refuses to endure humiliation any longer. He exposes Li Qiaohong's false pretenses in front of everyone and reveals the schemes the two have been plotting. Afterwards, Lin Chuan and Zhou Xiaoyun pursue their education and build a business together, establishing the Shanhai Group and ensuring that the two wrongdoers are brought to justice.
