Siheyuan: Making a Fortune Trading Between Two Worlds

Ximen Lang can travel between two worlds. In the modern era, he buys an electronic watch; in 1955, he trades it for a set of Huanghuali official's hat chairs. He spends a few thousand yuan on goods in the present and becomes rich over there. With new bicycles, radios, and fine watches, he's the coolest guy in the whole courtyard. Yan Bugui bends over and calls him "Brother Lang," while Jia Zhangshi grinds her teeth in fury, unable to do a thing about him.

But trouble arrives when Bai Ling moves in next door. A graduate of Moscow's intelligence university, she has eyes that seem able to see right through people. Ximen Lang takes her to Lao Mo for a meal, only to be interrogated so thoroughly that he nearly spills every secret he has.

Even more shocking, he discovers that this world is bigger than just the courtyard: Bai Ling is the heroine of Glorious Times, there is a martyr's family named Xiao Jin in the courtyard, and a special operations team is hiding in the neighboring alley. He thinks he's kept himself well hidden, but in reality, over a hundred people have him surrounded. Hao Pingchuan tries to tail him and is spotted at once.

But Ximen Lang doesn't care about any of that. He just wants to stockpile antiques and trade goods in 1955, then enjoy life in the modern world. Traveling between two worlds, he quietly builds his fortune. As for the courtyard's bullies? Now that he's got money, a pocket dimension, and Bai Ling, a powerful neighbor, who's still going to mess with him?
