Lin Chuan is reborn into Dahuaishu Village in 1970. In his past life, he was a spineless man who watched helplessly as his wife Su Xiaomei was bullied into jumping into the river by village tyrant Zhou Dazhuang, and he himself died of untreated stomach illness. To his surprise, he stumbles upon a compass carved with odd patterns in the back mountain—one touch lets him sense danger and locate valuable goods! Determined to rewrite his tragic fate, he uses the compass to expose Zhou Dazhuang's frame-up (accusing his wife of stealing the production team's corn), slaps Zhou twice to clear his wife's name. Then, he relies on the compass to find wild gastrodia in the mountains, sells them in the county, and opens a 'mountain produce buying station,' making 3,000 yuan in just one year—big money in the 70s! But greed follows: Li Hu, the township head's spoiled son, hears about the compass's 'treasure-finding' power and leads thugs to rob it, even kidnapping Su Xiaomei to blackmail Lin into handing it over! Clutching the compass, Lin charges into the mountains—can he rescue his wife, keep his hard-earned business, and rise as the 70s' most successful 'small entrepreneur'?
