From Invincible in the Siheyuan to Conquering Hong Kong

After transmigrating to the early 1960s, into Love in the Courtyard, he has to outwit and outmaneuver the courtyard’s many schemers while savoring the distinctive spirit of the era. Grandpa Yi, Yi Zhonghai, hides behind a facade of virtue and uses morality to manipulate people. Grandpa Liu, Liu Haizhong, is stupid, vicious, and full of himself. Grandpa Yan, Yan Bugui, is miserly and so stingy he’d pluck a feather from a passing goose. Jia Zhangshi is lazy and greedy, throwing tantrums, causing scenes, cursing people, and making a racket. Qin Huairu is a virtuous wife and loving mother who weeps like rain, a pretty widow always borrowing money and grain. Bang Geng is a shameless little thief who steals anything that isn’t nailed down, picks locks, and climbs walls. Silly Zhu is a lecher with the nerve of a mouse, an impractical braggart and a fool. Xu Damao is a womanizing wolf who forgets loyalty for a pretty face and gets arrogant the moment he gains an advantage. Granny Deaf is old and wicked, shielding Silly Zhu while holding court in the back courtyard and watching the drama unfold. First Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Lou Xiao'e, He Yushui, Yu Li, Yu Haitang, Qin Jingru, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and the rest: what an entertaining story they’ll create together... When the winds of change began to blow, Zhao Youcheng surveyed everyone in the courtyard. No one could match him wherever he looked. He left behind a lonely silhouette, his gaze fixed in the direction of Hong Kong.
