The protagonist of the story is a modern male who has just graduated. He is deeply loved by his relatives after returning to his hometown. He was accidentally injured on his way home from the mountains, and thus obtained a mysterious planting space and breeding system. He traveled to an ancient mountain village in the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was barren, backward and full of dangers. Here, famine is raging, wars are frequent, and the villagers live in poverty.
The protagonist relies on the modern science, engineering, agricultural and management knowledge in his mind, as well as the mysterious system, and is determined to change the fate of the mountain village. However, his actions touched the interests of the old feudal forces, who continued to obstruct him and hindered the protagonist from implementing new systems and developing infrastructure. At the same time, time is running out. If the mountain village fails to grow in strength within a year, it will be annexed by surrounding forces. The mountain village itself is depleted of resources and has harsh natural conditions, which also greatly limits its development.
During the development process, the protagonist is misunderstood by the villagers as having impure motives because his ideas and methods are too advanced, and he faces a crisis of trust. However, with pragmatism and rationality, he gradually resolved the misunderstanding and led the villagers to bake cement, improve farm tools, and popularize education. After successfully developing the mountain and building it into a prosperous territory, he found that he had alienated some relatives because he was too devoted to his career, and there was bitterness behind the victory.
