Deep in the frozen wilderness of the Daxinganling Mountains in 1980, a top-tier special forces instructor is suddenly reincarnated into the body of Huo Zheng, the village's most notorious, good-for-nothing loiterer. Right off the bat, he is framed for stealing food and driven into the treacherous "Valley of Death" by ruthless village bullies who also covet his beautiful youth-volunteer wife.
With the entire village facing imminent starvation and assuming he is dead, Huo Zheng shocks everyone by walking out of the blizzard, carrying fresh black bear meat on his shoulders and holding rare sable pelts in his hands! This time, armed with his past-life survival skills, Huo Zheng is ready to crush the bullies, fiercely protect his wife, and claim his rightful throne as the true king of the untamed forest.
