The Jade Vase’s Divine Power
"At 23, Li Fei, frail and sickly, returned to his rural home after college, living off his parents. While catching crabs, he injured his finger, and his blood accidentally activated a glowing porcelain vase—the ""Jade Vase""—found at the riverbed. This vase, originating from Laozi (Li Er), could purify water, accelerate plant growth, and even modify living organisms, becoming the turning point in Li Fei’s life. At first, Li Fei used the vase’s water to revive wilted roses, transforming them into rare rainbow-colored roses. Soaking a young wild ginseng root turned it into a 35-year-old ""Celestial Ginseng,"" which pharmaceutical tycoon Yue Heng bought for 1 million yuan. This success made his ex-girlfriend Su Zi and college classmate Wang Chao (manager of Oasis Hotel) jealous. Later, Li Fei discovered the vase also granted him a ""Minor Rain Summoning"" ability. Using this power and the vase’s water, he transformed his family’s orange grove, ripening green oranges in half a day with exceptional flavor. When Li Fei sold the oranges at the market for 20 yuan per jin (≈$3/lb), skeptical customers were won over by the taste. He also met Chu Yuexing, owner of Crescent Moon Restaurant, who bulk-purchased his oranges, skyrocketing her restaurant’s turnover. Their partnership blossomed into romance. Meanwhile, Oasis Hotel owner Wu Wenzhong, envious of Crescent Moon’s success, sent Wang Chao to track Chu Yuexing’s supply source. Wang mistakenly bought low-quality oranges from Huang Qiang (a local troublemaker), damaging Oasis’s reputation. Expanding his business, Li Fei used the vase’s water to grow premium vegetables and tilapia (rebranded as ""Immortal Fish""). His stir-fried vegetables sold for 298 yuan per plate, and Immortal Fish for 888 yuan each—still in high demand. Wu Wenzhong retaliated by monopolizing the expensive ""Empurau"" fish, but Li Fei’s superior Immortal Fish caused Oasis’s customer base to plummet. The villains grew desperate: Huang Qiang, under Wu’s orders, sabotaged Li Fei’s orchard and poisoned his fish pond. Wang Chao repeatedly caused disturbances at Crescent Moon, even attempting to stab Li Fei. Ultimately, the police intervened: Wang and Huang were arrested for poisoning and attempted murder, while Wu, facing charges of incitement and tax evasion, committed suicide by jumping off a building. Su Zi also ended up in prison. In the end, Li Fei married Chu Yuexing, who became pregnant. Sitting in a luxury car, the Jade Vase gleamed golden in the sunlight. Li Fei had shed his ""loser"" label, achieving a rags-to-riches success story, and embarked on a happy new life with his beloved. "
