Frozen to death beneath a bridge at 42, reborn at 22.
In 1983, in Huangtuling Village, Xu Dongyang draws on memories of his past life and a spiritual spring space. Starting with the sale of a single wild ginseng root, he grows mushrooms, builds greenhouses, and cultivates out-of-season vegetables, carving a path to prosperity through a poor mountain village.
The village bully sets fires, unscrupulous merchants kidnap him, officials raid his business, and rumors plague him... One threat after another comes from both sides. But Xu Dongyang is not afraid. If the greenhouses burn, he’ll build them again; if a conspiracy comes his way, he’ll strike back. In this life, he’ll reclaim everything he was owed in his last one, with interest.
The spiritual spring accelerates the growth of all things, while the space holds limitless wonders. Starting with one man and growing into a cooperative, from a single mountain to an entire industry, he leads the whole village in turning Huangtuling into a golden treasure trove.
In this life, he wants to protect more than his money and his confidence. He also wants to protect the twin daughters waiting for him at home, and the wife who has spent half her life sewing red ribbons for him.
