Su Yichen, who came from a scholarly family, came to a small water town in the south of the Yangtze River to take over a teahouse that was on the verge of bankruptcy. With wisdom and kindness, he managed the teahouse in a spectacular way, and also collected many folk anecdotes through this.
On a rainy day, a mysterious guest brings the legend of a treasure in the northwest desert - a relic of an ancient tribe that contains huge wealth and mysterious power that can change destiny. This aroused Su Yichen's interest, and he realized that he could use this to spread justice and expose ugliness.
Yin Chongyue, the boss of the Shanghai gang, also heard the legend that he colluded with the government in order to monopolize the treasure. In order to stop his conspiracy, Su Yichen embarked on a treasure hunt, and on the way met Lin Wanxi, the daughter of the leader of the desert caravan with a bold personality. In order to protect the peace of the desert, Lin Wanxi joined the treasure hunting team.
The two experienced hardships along the way, encountered bandit attacks, and cracked numerous mechanisms in ancient ruins. During the process, Su Yichen accidentally discovered that there was a bigger conspiracy behind the legend of the treasure: it was actually Western powers deliberately spreading rumors in an attempt to use the greed of the Chinese people to trigger civil strife and then plunder China's wealth and resources.
In the end, Su Yichen, Lin Wanxi and others, with their firm belief and extraordinary wisdom, successfully prevented Yin Chongyue from colluding with Western powers and exposed his conspiracy. And the secret of the treasure is revealed - it is not material wealth, but the inheritance of unity, justice and national spirit. Su Yichen compiled this experience into a story and spread it in teahouses, letting more people understand that in turbulent times, only by adhering to justice and uniting as one can we resist foreign enemies and protect our homeland.
