After waking up one day, He Yuzhu, a modern-day doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, finds himself in the body of his namesake, Silly Zhu, from Love in the Courtyard.
Faced with the menagerie of scheming neighbors in the courtyard, he refuses to be a sucker held hostage by their moral blackmail ever again.
Jia Zhangshi cries poor and begs for help? He produces his silver needles and treats all manner of “poverty-related” ailments and emotional problems. One prick is all it takes to expose her true colors!
Yi Zhonghai, the First Master, is always preaching about virtue and righteousness? He smiles and hands him a diagnosis of infertility, shattering the fake facade of his moral exemplar on the spot!
Bang Geng, the notorious thief, is always stealing chickens and pilfering? He holds a private late-night lesson on “Sentencing Guidelines for Theft,” scaring Bang Geng straight before dawn!
When Xu Damao, Yan Bugui, and the rest of the courtyard’s troublemakers beg him to let them off, He Yuzhu simply rocks his chipped enamel mug and says with a casual smile:
“Don’t rush. This treatment… has only just begun.”
Watch as this modern miracle doctor takes up his silver needles and proven remedies in a courtyard in the 1960s, treating every last troublemaker who refuses to behave and embarking on a brilliant life dedicated to “curing” them all!
