Back to 1987: After Saving a Dragon Maiden, I Hunt with Dragon Eyes to Support My Family

About the story

In 1987, Chen Mo, a young man from Da'an Village, saves a dragon maiden in an icy river and unexpectedly gains dragon eyes that can locate treasures in the mountains and waterways. Facing his uncle's family's favoritism and appropriation of property, he resolutely sets up a separate household, moving into a derelict mill with his sick mother, widowed sister-in-law and young sister. Using his inherited hunting skills and the guidance of his dragon eyes, he trades each harvest for food and money for medicine, gradually saves capital, builds a new house and marries Fang Qiaoqiao. Greedy relatives try to seize his gains and a bully plots against him, but he never backs down. From a poor young man looked down on by others, he becomes the pillar of his family, forging a path to prosperity through icy mountains and forests and turning his promise to keep his family fed and warm into a secure, steady life.
