The Sixties: I Awaken the Five-Element Lotus and Take Over the Courtyard

An accident sends Lu Jun from 2022 plunging into the courtyard world of 1966 Beijing. An orphan at fourteen, he faces an unfamiliar era and neighbors watching him like hawks, leaving him struggling to get by. Then the Canyon Space and his Five Elements Lotus martial soul awaken, granting him control over the elements, the ability to cultivate spiritual plants, and the power to fly on a sword. These become his means of survival in desperate circumstances. He keeps his magic hidden, showing his vulnerable side only to his wife, Ran Qiuye, and stays by her as their feelings quietly blossom into a secret life together. He returns to Lu Family Village to build homes and establish a school, making the clan his backing. In the courtyard, he battles rivals openly and in secret to protect his family and interests. He also plans ahead, preparing for the decade of upheaval and the era of reform and opening up. This is the story of an ordinary man who, with a golden finger and his own wits, protects the people he loves and steadily grows amid the tides of history.
