Wang Yu'an, a modern young man, accidentally traveled through the book and his soul traveled to a poor rough man in the 1950s. At the beginning, there was only a ruined temple and some thin fields. But he has his own "getting rich system". With his understanding of the trends of the times and systematic help, he started from planting cotton and embarked on the road of counterattack step by step.
When setting up a cotton spinning mill, he encountered many obstacles including malicious frame-up by his colleague Deng Meng, shortage of funds and technical difficulties. But with wisdom and perseverance, Wang Yuan uncovered evidence of Deng Meng's crimes, attracted investment, and led workers to overcome technical difficulties. He not only paid attention to the development of the factory, but also cared about the lives of workers, founded schools and hospitals for children, and established mutual aid funds.
In this process, Wang Yuan gained true love and walked hand in hand with Nan Wangshu. In the end, he developed the small cotton spinning mill into a huge business group. The "Red Star" brand products sold well all over the country and even went abroad, becoming a legend of the times and leading the villagers to live a prosperous life.
