On the road back to her hometown in eastern Longdong in 2026, Li Maihua is conspired against by her adoptive mother's younger sister, her biased adoptive parents, and Li Duoduo, the fake younger sister who stole her life. A raging fire devours every escape route. They take the proof of her identity as a wealthy businessman's biological daughter, coveting the family fortune in her name and the compensation from her hometown's land requisition. As she lies on the brink of death, only the warm, raised peach-blossom cinnabar mole on her arm can prove that she is the true heiress. Filled with resentment and hatred, she clutches a bloodstained broken-pearl hair clip as her consciousness sinks into endless darkness.
When she opens her eyes again, icy frost from the loess cave scrapes against her coarse clothes, and frogs croak noisily by the flooded dam. Time has returned to the day the waters rose in 1992, when she was sixteen. The tragedies have yet to happen. Her aunt is still pretending to care for her, Duoduo is still playing the sweet, pitiful girl, and her adoptive parents are plotting to take her place in the college entrance examination.
Her kindness in her previous life cost her everything, even her life. This time, she will not make the same mistake. She hides the irrefutable proof of her birth, exposes the fake sister's schemes to win sympathy one step at a time, stands up to her biased adoptive parents, and protects Chen Gensheng, the poor young man who has quietly watched over her. The son of a man who married into the family, Chen Gensheng is kind and longsuffering. When he learns of the baby-swapping plot and the truth behind her tragic death in her previous life, he stands firmly by her side without hesitation.
Rumors of land requisition on the plateau begin to spread. Village team leader Zhao Laowai sets up roadblocks for profit, her aunt secretly drives a wedge between people, and a pack of wolves all harbor their own agendas. Armed with thirty years of memories of what is to come, Maihua protects her right to take the college entrance exam and preserves the land documents as evidence. At the dividend distribution meeting, she will expose the shocking secret of the stolen baby in front of everyone.
The greedy ultimately suffer the consequences. The Zhao family turns against itself over the land compensation, while the Chen family loses everything in its pursuit of wealth. She heads to the provincial capital to reunite with her birth parents and reclaim...
Chen Gensheng lowered his head to look at the broken hairpin in her palm, and suddenly remembered that when he was purchasing goods in the provincial capital many years ago, he had seen a businessman wearing the same jade buckle with dark patterns. That man happened to be involved in the early land transfers on the plateau. A key clue connecting two generations finally had the direction to trace.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Zhao Juan suddenly took out a lighter from her pocket and screamed that she was going to burn the copy of the land acquisition document she was carrying with her on the spot. The moment the flames broke out, the half-broken pearl hairpin in her sleeves suddenly became hot, and a vague fragment of her forgotten past life suddenly flooded into her mind.
The two of them had just reached the intersection of the ravine, when Zhao Laowai's hoarse and vicious scolding came from not far away, and several black shadows blocked the dirt road to Old Li's cave. The first head-on confrontation tonight was inevitable.
Maihua lowered her head to sort out the red documents for land acquisition in the wooden box, and her fingertips touched the half-broken pearl hairpin sandwiched between the pages. She felt a cold touch, and the image of her tragic death in the water in 2026 clearly appeared in her mind again. She suddenly realized that the person behind her previous life has not yet surfaced.
Zhao Qiang took advantage of everyone's attention to focus on the documents, quietly retreated, followed the path along the Laoba Beach, and sneaked towards the archives room of the neighboring village. It seemed that he planned to steal the backup manuscripts alone again.
Two familiar figures walked up the dirt road in the distance. They were Zhao Laowai's son and daughter. They were carrying bed rolls in their hands, followed by seven or eight villagers who had made trouble before, walking straight towards the main entrance of the green brick compound.
The dark shadow had touched the base of the earthen wall of the archives room, and the crisp sound of the crowbar hitting the blue bricks drifted along the evening breeze. Maihua clutched the red cloth handkerchief in her arms tightly, and she suddenly saw a strange figure hiding in the darkness. It was not the rogue of the village brought by Zhao Laowai at all.
The staff of the Justice Office brought news that Zhao Laowai and his son and daughter rushed back to the town from out of town overnight, looking around for the location of the evidence storage, planning to wait for an opportunity to cause trouble again. Under the peaceful life, new hidden dangers quietly emerged.
Zhao Laowai took advantage of the chaos to break away from the guards and went straight to the construction site of the new compound in Laobatan, intending to destroy the wooden foundation of the house. Everyone hurriedly chased after him. There was no one to guard the construction site, and the newly laid foundation and building materials were in danger.
The evidence of Zhao Laowai's theft was exposed, but he suddenly laughed sinisterly and said that he had already prepared a backup plan, and there were others in the dark to help him, and no one was aware of the accomplice hidden in the crowd.
