In 2025, elite forest ranger Tian Chen is reborn in the Xing'an Mountains of 1960. From the start, he nearly freezes to death at the hands of his vicious stepfather, Liu Hongchang.
Liu Hongchang has seized all the family's meager food supplies. Tian Chen's beautiful, kind-hearted older sister is about to be sold as a wife to a disabled old widower in a remote mountain village, while his four-year-old younger sister nearly gets sold to human traffickers from beyond the mountains. The three siblings, who have depended on one another since childhood, face the prospect of being torn apart forever.
Tian Chen immediately strikes back, dealing with his despicable stepfather Liu Hongchang and the thugs who came to force his sister into marriage. But after the three siblings flee their home, they are immediately left with no warm clothes, little food, and nowhere to live.
Yet when Tian Chen looks at the vast Xing'an Mountains, he is not worried at all.
After all, in this era the Xing'an Mountains are still a place where you can knock musk deer down with a stick, scoop up fish with a ladle, and have pheasants fly straight into your cooking pot. Ginseng, antler velvet, and wild herbs are everywhere, and wild boars and black bears roam the land...
For an elite forest ranger and seasoned hunter like him, the good life is only just beginning!
