Saxton Shaw, armed with a space-based golden "cheat ability," time-travels to 1960 and becomes the adopted son of the Sean family—a "good-for-nothing" everyone despises. When his grandfather is humiliated and bullied by his uncle's family, Saxton awakens his spatial ability, protects his grandfather, and establishes his authority. He and his disapproving "cousin" Yutta Sean are then forced to relocate to the countryside. On the train, Saxton cleverly dismantles his cousins' scheme and earns the appreciation of the mysterious Mr. Owen. When the uncle later tries to steal credit, Saxton orchestrates a plan that exposes him. The Red Flag Commune is dirt-poor, but Saxton uses spiritual spring water to ripen corn overnight and invents a popcorn machine, leading the commune to become number one in the county and preventing it from being annexed. Mina Sean tries to latch onto him, while Colin Sean pretends to be Mr. Owen's student, only to be publicly exposed by Saxton and subsequently thrown into prison along with Mina. The grandfather sells the house and follows his grandson, and the Red Flag Commune grows prosperous. Using the countless treasures stored in his spatial dimension as his bride price, Saxton marries Yutta Sean, and together they step onto the peak of their lives.
