After an unexpected rebirth, Steve Mason, a retired special forces soldier, finds himself in a resource‑scarce rural village of the 1980s. With his family members passing away one after another, he has to shoulder the burden alone, taking care of his sister‑in‑law Alice Ramsey and his niece Lillian Chan. His former fiancée's family breaks off the engagement due to poverty, the local ruffian Donald Matthews comes to extort him maliciously, and Alice Ramsey's relatives also keep showing up to make trouble. Troubles pile up. Steve befriends the bold and decisive Molly Pierce, and they team up. With his skills, he ventures into the wilderness to make a living, escapes danger several times, and even helps the authorities uncover hidden spies, earning merits. With a far‑sighted vision, Steve keeps up with the policies of the era, starts a business and a factory using forest resources, and gradually becomes wealthy through hard work. Along the way, he overcomes all obstacles and schemes, steadfastly protects his family, and lifts them out of poverty, leading them to a stable and prosperous life.
