Long time ago, there is a peaceful fishing village called Batu Village. But one day, a big wave washed up the coast and brought three guys ashore, Lai, Haha and Mao Mao. They are saved by a kind elderly couple. Instead of repaying them with good deeds, these three wicked "Lai Ha Mao" do much harm to the village, even pretending to be fortune tellers. So, the Heaven has sent down the God of Wealth to go under cover as a human to save the village. Can he save the village and bring back peace?[4] [5]
Filming took place in Port Klang and Batu Pahat in Malaysia.[6] [7] Actor Gan Jiaqi was initially nervous to shoot his scenes, as he worried that he was not fit enough to look good in a scene where his character fell naked from the sky, and followed a strict diet regimen for the part.[8] [9]
