In his previous life, the Qin Huairu family bled him dry, Yi Zhonghai guilt-tripped him into doing what they wanted, and Xu Damao stole his wife. In the end, he froze to death beneath a bridge, forgotten by everyone. Now he is reborn in 1975, with memories of the future in his pocket and the means to change his fate in his hands: industrial coupons from Deputy Factory Director Li, overseas remittance coupons from Lou Xiaoe, connections arranged by Professor Han, and the business opportunities that will come with the upcoming revival of the Canton Fair!
But trouble arrives sooner than expected. Malicious slogans suddenly appear on the courtyard walls, a black-market kingpin comes to recruit him, Xu Damao stabs him in the back, and even the Chaoshan gang in Guangzhou wants to push this “northerner” out! The share transfer agreement hidden in his wardrobe, the mysterious parcel sent to Beijing, the plan to head south that he and Lou Xiaoe hatch late at night: every detail holds a twist!
How will He Yuzhu break free from the courtyard? Can his relationship with Lou Xiaoe withstand the test of the times?
