During a severe drought in ancient times, the widow Wang Lianhua accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff while trying to snatch precious ginseng seedlings. She unexpectedly received the help of fairy grass and was able to travel freely between ancient and modern film and television cities. She earns income by performing as a group performer in modern times, and hoards large amounts of food, medicine and other supplies to send back to ancient times to support her family and children. After returning to her hometown, she cleverly plotted against the bully village chief who oppressed the people, took the lead in planning the water diversion project, and led the whole village out of drought and poverty. While benefiting his neighbors in ancient times, he also worked hard in modern times and blazed his own path as a grassroots actor.
