Wang Fan, a modern-day migrant worker, traveled through the famine years of the Ming Dynasty and reclaimed wasteland for a living, but was retaliated by the rogue gangsters and others. At the critical moment, he received help from the villagers to resolve the crisis, and he took advantage of the situation to gather people to reclaim the wasteland. In order to increase crop yields and help villagers overcome famine, Wang Fan decided to venture back to modern times to search for high-yielding, drought-tolerant crop seeds such as corn and sweet potatoes.
