Chen Wenjie wakes up to find that he has transmigrated into Courtyard No. 95 in Love in the Courtyard, becoming a fresh-produce purchasing agent at a steel mill.
On his first day after transmigrating, he gets into a vicious fight with the shameless Jia Zhangshi. His forceful actions shake up the courtyard's order and unexpectedly trigger a change in the Heavenly Dao, utterly wrecking the original story.
The world's plot begins to veer wildly off course:
Qin Huairu's fate is rewritten, and she is about to marry He Yuzhu; Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's matchmaking meeting falls through completely;
Yi Zhonghai, the hypocritical First Master, divorces First Mistress outright and turns around to marry Jia Zhangshi;
Jia Dongxu meets a miserable end, becoming a cripple; Second Master Liu Haizhong heartlessly divides the family and cuts ties with his eldest son.
What's more, two key technical workers, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, get into a brawl in the cesspit of the factory's public restroom, putting on a sensational "Cesspit Battle of Dragons and Tigers" that shakes the whole factory. They receive demerits and are assigned to clean the restroom, becoming a laughingstock throughout the steel mill.
The courtyard is full of vermin, each with their own agenda, and schemes are everywhere.
With a System golden finger in hand, Chen Wenjie refuses to indulge anyone.
He takes on the hypocrites, deals with the shameless, and foils every scheme, carefully tearing apart the courtyard's scheming villains one step at a time. In 1960s Sijiu City, he carves out a carefree life of his own!
