Failed college examinee Chen Lei travels back to the 1990s. Braving the entire village's ridicule, he contracts an abandoned muddy pond to farm crayfish. Armed with forward-looking vision and practical techniques, he overcomes torrential rain, cutthroat competition, and capitalist suppression, eventually establishing a cooperative to lead fellow villagers to prosperity. Conquering out-of-season breeding hurdles, he grows from a despised failure into a rural wealth-creation leader, carving out his counterattack path in the tides of the era.
