Three years ago, Lin Chen, carrying a secret, entered the Li family in Qingzhu Village. In order to take care of his wife Li Ruoxue, who was disabled in a car accident, he was willing to bear the humiliation and bear the burden. He was labeled a "soft rice king" and a "good-for-nothing son-in-law" by the whole village, silently guarding his wife, daughter and a small courtyard.
On the day of Jingzhe, a wedding banquet broke the peace. The sudden visit of Zhang Qiming, the county's medicinal materials tycoon, not only revealed Lin Chen's hidden identity as a "smart doctor and knowledgeable about rare treasures", but the cooperation invitation with a deposit of 100,000 shocked the villagers - this man who had been ridiculed for three years actually had the power to subvert cognition.
Since then, Lin Chen no longer keeps a low profile. He traveled to the dangerous areas of the back mountain to find rare medicinal materials such as wild dendrobium officinale and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. He established a cooperation with Zhang Qiming at three times the market price and quietly accumulated wealth. He used his superb medical skills to cure the bride's emergency and resolve the sudden crisis of the villagers, gradually changing the reputation of "waste". He also planned to rely on the treasures of the back mountain and his skills to raise surgery fees for his wife and help her stand back on her feet.
However, there are undercurrents in the peaceful countryside: the evil forces from neighboring villages who covet the resources of the back mountain, the villains in the village who are jealous of Lin Chen's strength, the mysterious bonds hidden in Lin Chen's past, and the possible secrets behind his wife's leg injury are all quietly fermenting.
When the "waste son-in-law" transforms into a rural legend, Lin Chen not only has to protect his wife and daughter and lead the villagers to get rich, but also has to face the ensuing crises and challenges, and write a rural legend about persistence, counterattack and warmth among the green waters and green mountains.
