"Modern IT guy Li Yu dies suddenly and is transported to the 1960s, possessing the body of a domestic abuser and gambler. He wakes up just as the original owner's wife has starved to death. He unexpectedly gets bound to a 'bragging system,' where his boasts come true as long as his five sisters-in-law's suspicion level exceeds 60%. During a famine year when food is scarce, Li Yu boasts that there are 100 jin of potatoes in the cellar. The three sisters are skeptical, but the cellar is indeed full of potatoes. Later, he learns that two of his sisters-in-law are eating clay in a temple to stave off hunger, so he rushes to their aid. His boast turns the clay into flour, then into roasted meat and fruit, temporarily solving their food problem." However, Scarface, a debt collector from the casino, arrives to collect his debts, threatening to kidnap the five sisters as payment. Li Yu boasts of unlocking supernatural powers, defeating Scarface single-handedly and winning the trust of his sisters-in-law. But their good fortune doesn't last long. The sisters' mother, Zhang Feng, and her brother, Xu Yaozu, arrive with the village bully's henchmen, forcing them to marry the bully's mentally challenged son, Zou Dazhuang, in exchange for dowries. Seeing a cellar full of potatoes at Li Yu's house, Zhang Feng greedily steals them, revealing the truth about the five sisters' long-term exploitation. In this critical moment, Zou Dazhuang breaks in, attempting to force himself on the five sisters. Li Yu arrives just in time, angrily stopping him, and then leads his five sisters-in-law on the road to wealth and prosperity.
