At the Start, in a Desolate Fort, a Piece of Rag Brings Life
The entire Qin clan is exiled to Windblown Sand Fort after losing a border city they were tasked with defending. All they receive are scraps of cloth, dried thorn branches, and half a barrel of bitter water. Qin Zhiwu discovers that the cloth can catch the wind and collect water, while the dried thorns can be fashioned into windbreak fences to keep out the sand. Starting with nothing, she builds a cloth water-collection station and a water facility. She establishes rules, assigns tasks, and keeps accounts, transforming her clan from a disorderly group fighting over water into an organized, cooperative community. When merchant caravans hear about their water supply, they begin trading goods for water, turning the supposedly lifeless fort into a thriving hub along the trade route. However, the well operators and military supply officers repeatedly suppress her, accusing her of illegally establishing a private water station. From her father's belongings, Qin Zhiwu discovers half of a seal and an old defensive map. Combined with old caravan receipts, these clues reveal the truth about the supplies that were intercepted years ago. In the end, military and government officials publicly audit the accounts, corrupt officials are brought to justice, and the Qin clan's grievances are finally redressed. The clan is officially recognized as the Guardians of Water.

Seluruh keluarga Qin dibuang ke Kubu Fengsha selepas kehilangan kota sempadan yang sepatutnya mereka pertahankan. Mereka hanya diberikan kain buruk, ranting berduri kering dan setengah tong air pahit. Qin Zhiwu mendapati bahawa kain tersebut boleh menangkap angin dan mengumpulkan air. Dia menggunakan ranting berduri kering untuk membina pagar penghadang angin bagi menghalang pasir. Bermula dengan tangan kosong, dia membina kawasan pengumpulan air menggunakan kain serta kemudahan bekalan air. Dia menetapkan peraturan, membahagikan tugas dan menyimpan rekod akaun, lalu mengubah keadaan ahli keluarganya daripada berebut air tanpa aturan kepada kerjasama yang teratur. Setelah mendengar berita itu, rombongan pedagang mula menukar barangan dengan air, menjadikan kubu yang dahulunya mati sebagai pusat perdagangan yang hidup di laluan dagang. Namun, pengurus telaga dan pegawai bekalan tentera berulang kali menindasnya atas alasan dia membina tempat bekalan air persendirian secara haram. Daripada peninggalan ayahnya, Qin Zhiwu menemui separuh keping tanda mohor dan peta pertahanan lama. Dengan tambahan resit lama rombongan pedagang, dia membongkar kebenaran tentang bekalan yang pernah diselewengkan. Akhirnya, pegawai tentera dan kerajaan menjalankan pemeriksaan akaun secara terbuka, pegawai korup dihukum, dan ketidakadilan terhadap keluarga Qin dibetulkan. Keluarga Qin secara rasmi diiktiraf sebagai penjaga sumber air.
