   [Farming + Time Travel + Spatial Spring + Everyday Life + Daily Life + Getting Rich + Heartwarming + Journey to the Modern Era + Selling Vegetables + No Romance + From Nothing to Something + Mini-Ensemble Cast + Exile + Building Houses + Food + Infrastructure + Time Travel] Xia Xiaomo, a modern folk singer, is transported to the past and becomes a concubine's daughter abandoned by her family and dying in exile. On her deathbed, she is saved by Su Shi, who shares her plight. Upon awakening, the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist transforms into a strange space connecting to the modern world and containing a spiritual spring. To repay her life-saving grace, and out of indignation at the injustice done to her idol, she resolves to journey alongside Su Shi. Along the way, she uses the spiritual spring and her knowledge to heal her fellow travelers, assembling a "team of exiles." Upon arriving in Lingnan, she doesn't succumb to despair but instead cultivates the land, farms, and dedicates herself to building an unprecedented "Great Song Livehouse." Su Shi's poems, accused of "slandering the court," have been set to music and sung as hit folk songs; his calligraphy and paintings have become the trendiest cultural and creative products. Xia Xiaomo uses modern business thinking to transform "Su Dongpo" into a phenomenal IP, allowing the accusations to crumble naturally amidst the public's love for him. When his political enemies in the court launch another attack, Xia Xiaomo activates a portal, taking Su Shi with her to a livehouse a thousand years in the future. Under the spotlight, Su Shi, holding an electric guitar and dressed in a Song Dynasty robe, sings the timeless "Ding Feng Bo." "Who's afraid? Let life take its course amidst the misty rain!" The audience erupts in cheers and sings along with thousands of modern youths. At this moment, the vitality of culture is enough to crush all the shackles of stigma.
