Jiang Xia transmigrates to the year 1958, into the world of In the Courtyard of Beasts.
As the family's sole breadwinner, he is now burning with a fever that won't go down.
His job at the steel mill has already been taken over by someone else.
His mother has been keeping them afloat by making matchboxes.
Jiang Xia wants to improve his family's circumstances, but he's surrounded by "beasts."
[Hyenas, lions, wild boars, vultures, tigers, snakes, foxes, turtles...]
Just as he's fretting over what to do,
the Fish-Farming System activates.
As long as he raises the fish's happiness level,
he can greatly improve their appearance, flavor, and nutritional value...
while also speeding up their growth.
With the System at his back,
Jiang Xia works hard to catch fish, raise them, and sell them for money,
gradually making his family's modest life more and more prosperous.
The beasts are green with envy and wail in frustration,
yet they keep trying to get a share without lifting a finger.
When they resort to every underhanded trick to cheat him out of fish, steal them, and take them by force,
Jiang Xia decisively joins right in with the beasts, "dancing with the beasts"...
