Siheyuan: Starting in 1960

In 1960, supplies are scarce and every family has to tighten its belt.

When Zhou Weimin opens his eyes, he has become the second son of the Zhou family in Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang, an unemployed young man who graduated from middle school less than a year ago and still hasn't found a job. His family is also facing a food shortage.

Luckily, he has a mysterious pocket dimension!

While others starve until they swell up, his space is piled high with grain and meat. While others fight over half a jin of meat, he uses wild boar meat to pave the way and easily lands a job as a purchasing agent at the steel mill.

He soon catches the attention of the factory leaders. As the factory struggles with shortages and his neighbors go hungry, he uses knowledge far ahead of its time to weave an extensive network of connections.

He not only stirs up the world around him, but also wins the heart of a beautiful woman.

The pure and lovely widow Su Wanqing, the alluring proprietress Chen Xueru, and the fiery tavern keeper Xu Huizhen... With Zhou Weimin's help, they find a steady source of support in those turbulent times, unaware that each of them shares an inescapable bond with him.

In just six months, he becomes the youngest section-level official and is even named an outstanding worker of the city. He is the picture of success!

He calmly handles the disdain and schemes in the courtyard. As the tide of the times comes crashing in, he has already prepared an escape route and is moving carefully, step by step.

From a penniless, unemployed drifter to an official wielding real power, watch how he uses his pocket dimension and his wits to thrive through hard times, leading his family and loved ones toward a bright future!
