The story mainly takes place in the international metropolis "Haizhou City" on the eastern coast of China. The scene switches between the quaint and backward mountain villages in the southwest and the prosperous and modern Haizhou City, forming a strong visual and emotional contrast.
[Background Introduction]: In the mist-shrouded mountains of the southwest, there is a small village that has been almost forgotten by modern civilization. Young Qiangzi, just like his name, is the strongest and most tenacious young man in the village. He guarded the few acres of thin farmland passed down from his ancestors and the ancestral carpentry skills. He originally thought that his life would repeat itself in this mountain like his father's generation. However, an experience of venturing into the city to sell handmade wood carvings to raise money for his sister's school fees was like a stone dropped into his peaceful heart, arousing his endless yearning for the outside world. A sudden twist of fate occurred when an urban female entrepreneur who came to a mountain village for a charity inspection accidentally saw Qiangzi's wood carvings full of aura and power. She is Lin Wei, the heir to the famous enterprise "Changfeng Group" in Haizhou City. She is beautiful and intelligent, and is considered by everyone to be the most arrogant and fair woman in the world. In an accidental flash flood, Qiangzi relied on his familiarity with the terrain and amazing courage to rescue Lin Wei and his team in distress. In order to express her gratitude, or perhaps because she saw the uncut jade in Qiangzi's body, Lin Wei handed him a business card to Haizhou City, giving him a chance to change his life.
