> Special forces soldier Chen Xiao’er crashes during a counterterrorism mission. When he wakes, he finds himself in the wilderness in 1950.
> The whole village has gathered with torches, ready to burn the “calamity sent from heaven.”
> Only the widow Wang Lili, clutching a chipped clay jar, steps forward: “The System says... he’s my lucky star.”

> Behind him, a sea of people drops to their knees: “Mountain Guardian Goddess, please save us!”
