Su Wanxing, a formidable supermarket owner, dies from overwork and is reborn at eighteen, just three days before her parents plan to sell her off in an engagement to a gambling addict and scumbag. On the verge of death, she unlocks the spiritual spring space inside her family's ancestral jade pendant, gaining unlimited supplies and miraculous spring water.
She tears into her family's outrageous favoritism toward sons, publicly tears up the engagement contract, and avoids the miserable fate she suffered in her past life. She happens to meet Lu Zheng, a battalion commander recently returned from the borderlands. The two support each other, first using the space's supplies to put food on the table, then building their initial capital by setting up stalls and reselling scarce goods.
She follows the army to settle in the military dependents' compound. Using the spring water, she improves fruit and vegetables and grows precious medicinal herbs. She secretly runs a black market, takes over a supply and marketing cooperative, and heads south to wholesale clothing, gradually becoming a renowned ten-thousand-yuan household. As she faces down jealous army wives who gossip behind her back and Su family relatives who come crawling for favors, she and Lu Zheng fall for each other in a mutual journey toward love, healing the wounds left by their families of origin.
As her wealth grows, she seizes the opportunities of the times, opening food-processing and clothing factories and helping local villagers prosper. Meanwhile, she gradually uncovers the thousand-year history of the spiritual spring space and thwarts the villains who covet its water. In the end, she settles in the provincial capital with Lu Zheng, now a senior military officer. With a son and a daughter and businesses across the country, she becomes an independent, dazzling businesswoman swept up in the tide of her era.
