Xia Wu was the adopted daughter of the wealthy Xia family, raised as their precious pearl for over twenty years. Her life unraveled when the family's biological daughter, Yang Wei (later renamed Xia Wei), returned from the countryside. Suddenly labeled the fake daughter, Xia Wu was abandoned by her parents, rejected by her fiancé Fu Shilin, and cast aside by her brother Xia Heng. In her despair, she attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, but no family member visited her in the hospital. After a car accident, she died alone, watching from her spirit form as her former family celebrated the true daughter's renaming banquet. Her ghost then witnessed the warmth and affection her biological parents—Liu Guizhen and Yang Guojun—had shown the real Xia Wei, realizing too late that her desperate clinging to what wasn't hers had only pushed everyone away.
Xia Wu awoke in the hospital to find her biological parents beside her. Rather than repeating her past mistakes, she embraced them sincerely, calling them Mom and Dad for the first time. She chose to return with them to their rural home in Yanggou Village, abandoning her luxurious life in the city and her connection to the Xia family. Along the journey, she learned about her new family: her simple-minded older brother Yang Hongwen, whose mental capacity remained that of a child due to a childhood fever, and her grandfather, a former barefoot doctor now respected in the village. Upon arrival, Xia Wu felt an unexpected sense of peace and belonging she had never experienced in the Xia mansion.
During a visit to Mother Mountain to pay respects to the local Mother Goddess, Xia Wu fainted after the jadeite pendant her grandfather gave her caught sunlight in a peculiar way. In her dream, she discovered a hidden cave within her Spirit Court Cavity containing a mystical spring whose water she drank. Upon waking, she found her body completely healed and gained the ability to access this inner cave space at will. The spring water, which she later discovered had extraordinary properties, became the foundation for her new life.
Xia Wu met Ji Yunzhou, a disabled young man in a wheelchair who kept bees with Grandpa Pu, an eccentric hermit living in the mountains. Inspired by Grandpa Pu's philosophy of living simply and his delicious Wild Damazi steamed chicken, Xia Wu decided to lease mountain land for farming. She ordered strawberry seedlings online and began learning agriculture from her father and grandfather. Using the Spirit Spring water, she tested its effects on plants and found it dramatically accelerated growth. Realizing the commercial potential, she resolved to build a sustainable livelihood through farming and self-media content creation, reaching out to her only remaining friend Qi Miaomiao to retrieve her computer from her former apartment. The story follows Xia Wu's transformation from a spoiled, desperate fake heiress into a self-reliant young woman building a meaningful life rooted in family, nature, and purpose.
