Na vida passada, por ser fraco e incompetente, a irmã abraçou a criança e se jogou do penhasco, e as duas irmãs menores acabaram com destinos trágicos, a mãe também foi atingida de forma severa e caiu doente, sem se recuperar. Ao renascer, ele certamente precisaria salvar tudo! Então, contando com as habilidades que havia treinado na vida anterior, ele pegou uma espingarda e subiu para as montanhas profundas, caçando lebrões, apanhando faisões, colhendo cogumelos de avelã, e mais ginseng selvagem, brotos de bambu de primavera, nozes selvagens... todos os tesouros e delícias da montanha foram trazidos para casa, as peles podiam ser usadas para fazer roupas e vendidas, e a carne alimentava a família com sobras. Aproveitando as vastas montanhas do Nordeste, Zhang Yang levava toda a família com peixe e carne em abundância, vivendo uma vida relaxada como imortais.

He could never forget this day.
His eldest sister, desperate to feed her child, was ruthlessly humiliated and tormented by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law simply for eating an egg. Even worse, because she’d given birth to a girl, they considered it a waste of food and a burden. Her husband's family, along with her husband, tried to drown the child.
