About the story

In 1980, compulsive gambler Chen Jianye loses the money meant to save his daughter’s life, leaving his wife Li Xiuhe utterly disheartened. A slap from his older brother wakes him up; reborn, Chen Jianye unexpectedly gains the power of a mountain god, enabling him to awaken mountain spirits and share their talents. Determined to repay his debts, save his daughter and make amends to his wife, he wins over spirits such as a sable and a gyrfalcon, proving himself in the face of constant doubt. He leads his family in processing mountain produce and eventually builds a hot-spring estate, helping the whole village prosper. In this life, he changes the fate of his wife and daughter and truly becomes the mountain god who protects his family, the village and Laoye Ridge.
