It tells the story of twins Li Cong and Li Tie Tie, who were predicted to have "a disaster and a blessing", and how they walked out of completely different lives amidst prejudice and fate.
In the early summer of 1989, twins were born to the Song family in Qingfeng Village. The birth of elder brother Li Cong caused a disaster, while the birth of younger brother Li Tie Tie brought sweet rain. Li Cong, who was labeled a "disaster star", was abandoned by his family and survived in a broken house with only "The Art of Transformation of the Universe" given by Yun You Taoist. Li Tie Tie, who was hailed as a "lucky star", grew up to be a pampered son while being pampered.
During the past sixteen years, Li Cong relied on secrets to identify medicines and substances, and with the help of an old hunter, he finally returned home as the owner of a mountain goods company. However, Li Tietie was imprisoned for embezzlement of public funds, fraud and wounding. Faced with the family's entreaties, Li Cong refused with a divorce letter. He only wanted to promote Luo Ya, the girl next door who had helped him. He rebuilt the village canals, erected monuments to clarify his aspirations, and revealed the truth of fate with the saying that "there is no door to blessings and misfortunes, only people call upon themselves".
Through the reversal of fate of the two brothers, the novel connects the ups and downs of everyone in Qingfeng Village, reveals the profound theme that personal choice is the root of blessings and misfortunes, and describes the game between human hearts and heaven in the changes of the countryside.
