Synopsis

In 2025, workaholic Lin Xiuyuan died from overwork and was reborn in 1950 as a ten-year-old boy everyone hated in a courtyard house on Nanluoguxiang. A whole courtyard of predators watched him hungrily, while the storms of a new era gathered behind him. But no one knew that hidden in his Five Elements Banner was a blessed paradise belonging to Patriarch Heshe of Mount Shu, along with the Extraordinary Book of Heshe, a cultivation manual pointing straight to the Great Dao. On the surface, he was the obedient, well-behaved “neighbor's kid,” quietly watching the show as the courtyard's animals fought and bickered. In secret, he drew qi into his body, never forgot anything he saw, fished up a treasure chest from a former dynasty, raided a Japanese army warehouse in the mountains, and mastered both medicine and martial arts. He thought he would spend this life cultivating in peace, protecting his family, and strolling calmly through turbulent times. Then, when China opened up and reformed, he plunged into business, riding the waves of commerce as the Five Elements Banner stirred up a storm across Eurasia! Once his business empire stood atop the world, he retired with his beloved and turned his gaze to the stars, and beyond Kunlun... to the Myriad Worlds. The courtyard's predators: “He's just lucky!” His rivals: “He must have powerful connections!” The gods and demons of the Myriad Worlds: “This boy cannot be opposed by force!” From a courtyard house to the sea of stars, Lin Xiuyuan's legend has only just begun.
