Xu Damao takes his final breath in his sickbed. Looking back on his life, he sees nothing but schemes and regret.
When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to the courtyard house in 1975, the turning point that changed everyone's fate.
Lou Xiaoe, whom he framed in his previous life, is about to have her home ransacked, while the fist of his nemesis, Sha Zhu, is about to land on his face.
This time, he grabs Lou Xiaoe and holds her back. “Don't go back! Trust me this once!”
He secretly resells eggs to earn his first fortune, quietly warns Qin Huairu to avoid a trap, and even grits his teeth to force a smile at Sha Zhu.
Just as everyone in the courtyard thinks he's gone mad, the spring breeze of Reform and Opening Up blows through the alleys.
Xu Damao takes Sha Zhu's hand. “Zhuzi, this era has room for all of us.”
But then a creditor from his past suddenly shows up. “Boss Xu, it's time to pay off that thirty-year-old debt.”
