When Lin Weimin wakes up, he's become the seventh son of the dirt-poor Lin family in Qinjiazhuang, outside Dongzhimen. He has six older brothers, and nine mouths to feed.
Watching his father and brothers toil day and night while the family owns next to nothing, he takes a few coins and a head full of knowledge from another era and decisively heads to the city to make a living.
In the Propaganda Department of the Steel Mill, his superb handwriting amazes everyone, and he leaves Xu Damao fuming on the spot.
[Ding! Negative emotions gained: +83! Emotion Lottery System activated!]
When he returns to the village with the good news, the simple-hearted joy and envy of his family and fellow villagers come rushing in, sending his emotion points through the roof!
Then he sees the timid Qin Jingru and runs into the sarcastic Xu Damao, and Lin Weimin suddenly realizes:
This is the world of The Beastly Courtyard!
His assigned room is the side room Jia Zhangshi has coveted for ages?
The family of five next door is Qin Huairu's?
Xu Damao, Silly Zhu, Yu Haitang, and the First, Second, and Third Masters all make their entrances one after another...
Lin Weimin smiles. The real fun is only just beginning.
