Disaster ravages Great Zhou, and the land is strewn with the dead. Chen Aman transmigrates as a widow fleeing famine, driven from her in-laws' home with her six-year-old daughter, Taoya. After the family separation, they have no food, only a pot and a bowl, and spend the night in a ruined temple.
While washing dishes, she triggers her golden finger: every dirty bowl she washes cleanses away bad luck and brings good fortune! On the first night, she “washes” up a wild rabbit to stave off hunger; on the second, she “washes” up a deed to a home.
Settling in Qingshui Village, she clears land and farms, using her golden finger to turn her fortunes around and grow wealthy. She “washes” up seeds, farming tools, and a map to an iron mine, leading her to Zhao San, a blacksmith's son who joins her in building a business.
Mother and daughter join forces to outwit their wicked relatives, grow prosperous through farming, and find sweet romance quietly taking root in their daily lives. This time, she won't just survive: she'll make sure she thrives!
