Siheyuan: A Brazen Start, Transmigrating to 1962

Li Chengcai transmigrates to late 1962, just as the three-year period of hardship is coming to an end. He finds himself in the midst of a family tragedy: his father died on the job, and his stepmother also failed to survive the hard times. She left behind two girls, one of whom is his unrelated fiancée, while the other is a toddler of three or four.

Li Chengcai is left with no living parents, but fortunately, he inherits what they left behind. More importantly, he has a transmigrator's golden finger, giving him a glimmer of hope for surviving in an era of scarce supplies.

However, when Li Chengcai realizes he's at Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang and recognizes people such as He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Deaf Granny, he understands that he has transmigrated into the setting of The Courtyard Full of Scoundrels. This is both an opportunity and a challenge: he knows what's going to happen and can use that knowledge to improve his situation.
