Siheyuan: Reborn in 1950, Taking Silly Zhu to the Army

Li Yulong, an invisible man who’d spent half his life being utterly ordinary, suddenly discovers that a space-time delivery service has dropped him off in the 1950s, right in the midst of the passionate era of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. He thinks he might become a hero in the history books, but when he opens his eyes, good grief, has he walked into a zoo of fantastical creatures? Yi Zhonghai, the moral paragon, lectures everyone on benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and integrity. Next door, Jia Zhangshi, the necromancer, teaches people how to greet her friends “on the other side.” And then there’s Yan Bugui, the bookkeeper, whose abacus clicks louder than anyone else’s, all to save the price of a single firecracker! Li Yulong steels himself. “A battle of magic? No, no. Let’s see who can handle the spiciest food instead!” In this life, he vows to live with gusto, delivering his punchlines on his feet before he lies down. And so he sets his sights not only on reclaiming the fifty prefectures beyond the border, but also on conquering every pot in the mess hall!
