On the winter solstice in 1982, the 73-year-old Xing'an Mountain ranger Wang Dongcheng passed away in regret. He favored sons over daughters throughout his life, forcing his wife and daughter away for his adopted nephew, and ultimately ended up alone and helpless, freezing to death in the mountains.
When he opened his eyes again, he went back to the day when his wife gave birth to her seventh daughter. Looking at his haggard wife and seven emaciated daughters on the kang, and listening to the screams and curses of the old woman outside the door who forced him to adopt his nephew, Wang Dongcheng clenched his fists.
In this life, he wants to live a different life!
Starting from hunting pheasants with a slingshot, to trapping wild boars and hunting sables in the mountains, Wang Dongcheng relied on the hunting experience accumulated in his previous life to blaze a trail in the Xing'an Mountains in the 1980s. He gave his seven daughters poetic names and sent them to school; he built five large tile-roofed houses so that his wife and daughters could live a warm and prosperous life; he slapped his partial parents, vicious sister-in-law, and envious relatives again and again, becoming the most respected hunter in the village.
But the crisis is never far away: the Lintun Orion Zhao Laohen is pressing hard, the gangster Liu Sanpao's secret revenge, the Forestry Bureau's strict investigation of protected animals, and the nephew Wang Zixuan who took away all his family property in his previous life is slowly growing up...
This is a story of atonement, a father's promise to spend the rest of his life making up for his debt, and a legend of an Orion protecting his family in the changing times. See how Wang Dongcheng rises from regret and hunts for a new and glorious life in the vast forest of Xing'an Mountains!
