Jiang Baichuan, a modern man, unexpectedly finds himself transported to 1950s Beijing, to the notorious courtyard compound full of scheming neighbors, where people cloak themselves in righteousness but are rotten to the core.
After awakening a Trading System, he sneaks into the black market and uses his knack for spotting antiques to make a fortune in the 1950s, sleeping with gold bars for pillows.
Just then, he crosses paths with Qin Huairu, the woman Jia Dongxu is courting. No need to say more: he swoops in and steals her away.
Moral Paragon Yi Zhonghai: She's a widow with a child. What's so hard about going easy on her?
Wife-beater Liu Guanniu: She's only staying for a while. Don't be so stingy, kid. We're all family.
The Deaf Old Lady: He's just a child!
Soul Summoner Jia Zhangshi: I borrowed it fair and square. Why should I pay it back?
Jiang Baichuan: Heh. Jealousy is a disease, and I'll cure you with my fists.
It's okay to just finish these few chapters.
