Modern young man Chen Mo accidentally traveled through time and became a boy from a poor farm family in Qingniu Village of Daxia Dynasty. Both of his parents died, leaving him and his younger siblings behind. The family was impoverished and still owed the landlord Wang Papi one tael of silver in loan sharking. If it was not repaid within three days, the house and land would be confiscated, and the siblings might even be sold off.
Chen Mo, who was in a desperate situation, relied on modern knowledge and unyielding will to support the family. He discovered that Qingniu Mountain behind the village was a place of hope, where there were wild vegetables, fruits, herbs, and maybe even precious game. In order to survive and protect his brothers and sisters, he ventured up the mountain to search for resources.
From digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits to barely satisfy his hunger, to picking red mushrooms and other precious ingredients to sell in the town to raise money, Chen Mo step by step breathed life into this dilapidated home. He not only has to deal with the immediate debt crisis, but also finds ways to use his abilities to improve his life, start his own path of farming and survival in this barren land, and lead his siblings towards a better life.
