Tales of Liutiao Hutong

Zhang Tianyu, a twenty-first-century wage slave, was hooked by short videos from Douyin creator Eldest Sister-in-Law. After staying up all night binge-watching the story, he dropped dead, only for his falling phone to smack him on the forehead and send him into the body of a little kid.

It was the winter of 1990. A three-year-old had been abandoned by his biological parents in snow that came just above his calves. The freezing north wind howled, and just as the child was on the verge of death, a streak of light flashed by.

See what kind of upheaval Zhang Tianyu will stir up in Willow Lane.
