At thirty-five, internet-industry veteran Zhang Qiming is unexpectedly reborn in 1985 after losing his job. He becomes an eighteen-year-old orphan with nothing to his name in Qingyuntun, a village at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Northeast China.
Faced with life in a poor mountain village, the exhaustion of cutthroat competition from his previous life is washed away by the simple mountain breeze. In its place comes the "Origin Microcosm," bound to his soul: a pocket dimension with a spirit spring that can speed up growth.
He had planned to tend a few fields and live peacefully in his little courtyard, but fate brings him a marriage to Lin Xiuzhi, the village beauty, who is a master of both medicine and martial arts.
From then on, the couple work together, using the microcosm to improve their seedlings and leading their unpretentious neighbors to form a cooperative, grow fruit, and raise rare poultry, transforming their impoverished village into a prosperous paradise.
There are strange encounters in the mountains and clever ways to do business. See how Zhang Qiming uses modern knowledge and his magical pocket dimension to write a heartwarming tale of love, home, and shared happiness in the eventful 1980s.
I'll give myself a good review to encourage myself 😄
