Jiang Baicao, a herb-gatherer, is not only dumped without mercy by her fiance after he drains her of every last penny, but is also framed by him for secretly storing prohibited mountain goods.
As a result, Jiang Baicao is driven out of the village committee, and swears never to trust anyone again.
When she is covered in disgrace and no one dares go near her,
Shi Tieshan, the toughest retired reconnaissance soldier in the entire commune, steps in and gives her a hand.
With her own skill, Jiang Baicao gradually gets revenge on the scumbag in a series of face-slapping victories and takes back what belongs to her.
