Lin Wanwan is reborn in 1972, back to the drought-stricken northern Henan village where her family died of thirst in her past life. Before she can shake off the fear, she notices the damp soil under the old locust tree in her backyard—digging through the night, she uncovers a crystal-clear hidden river! Just as she plans to hide the water to save her family, Gu Jingshen, the reserved educated youth next door, stands by the pit with a hoe: “I’ll help you dig, but I want half a bucket of water… and I’ll take care of all your chores from now on.” But when the river’s secret leaks, the village bully comes to steal it. Gu Jingshen shields her behind him, pulling out an old map: “My grandfather surveyed this river—it’s yours. And I’ve always wanted to turn this water into hope for the whole village… with you.” The hidden river becomes a lifeline in the drought, and a red thread linking their past and present. Watch the reborn girl and the rugged intellectual use this river to become the village’s “saviors,” where even the wind tastes sweet in their sugar-coated days.
