Liu Shengli accidentally transmigrates into the world of a period drama set in 1962 and freezes unconscious outside No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Luckily, the pretty widow Li Fengying finds him and takes him in.
Li Fengying and her three daughters are crammed into a side room of less than ten square meters, living on her monthly salary of 27.5 yuan. The children can’t afford to go to school, and the courtyard’s Granny Deaf, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, and others scheme against them, trying to force them back to the countryside so they can seize their home.
Just then, Liu Shengli activates a portable farming space. Its initial features include a 1:5 time ratio, a nourishing spring that restores body and mind, and high-yield livestock, poultry, and fish farming, giving him the means to establish himself.
He uses the goods produced in his space to supply the canteens at the steel mill, machine repair factory, and other workplaces, ensuring the Li family has fish and meat at every meal. He outsmarts the courtyard residents and protects Li Fengying and her family from their harassment.
From the start, he slaps Xu Damao, forces Silly Zhu to kneel and beg for mercy, puts Jia Zhangshi in her place, and gets his hands on Granny Deaf’s house...
Bai Ling trusts him, Ding Qiunan thinks fondly of him, and even a high-ranking leader praises him as a “hero who catches spies.” The two become bosom friends.
Knowing the turmoil of 1966 is approaching, he builds up his capital while planning for the future. When the time is right, he heads to Xiangjiang to continue his legendary story.
After the turmoil ends, he returns to the courtyard as a Hong Kong businessman and rises to even greater heights...
