Siheyuan: I'm Silly Zhu's Uncle

1951, the Korean battlefield.

Li Qingshan, gravely wounded, wakes up in a field hospital, and the memories of two lifetimes collide in his mind.

In his previous life, he was an overworked office drone who devoured online novels. In this life, he is a battle-hardened soldier who has spent half his life at war.

What shocks him even more is that this is the world of Love in the Courtyard, and he has become the long-“missing” maternal uncle of He Yuzhu and He Yushui, the tragic central figures of the story!

His sister died young, and his brother-in-law He Daqing ran off with a widow, leaving sixteen-year-old Silly Zhu and seven-year-old He Yushui to struggle for survival amid the scheming of the “beasts” in the courtyard. They scavenge for trash, eat leftovers, and have the marrow drained from their bones…

At the entrance to the hutong, in the bitter winter wind, he sees it with his own eyes:

Young He Yuzhu fights like a lone wolf protecting its cubs over half a steamed bun;

Little Yushui huddles in a corner, her tiny hands red from the cold and clenched around a few pieces of coal, her eyes vacant.

Hypocrite Yi Zhonghai: “Zhu, I’m only doing this for your own good…”

The old matriarch, Deaf Granny: “Zhu, you have to be filial and do as you’re told…”

The ungrateful Jia family: “Silly Zhu, give us a hand. Banggeng is hungry…”

Li Qingshan strides into the courtyard, standing firm with his sword in hand:

“From today on, the He family is under my protection!”

The money they withheld? They’ll pay it all back, with interest!

The job they schemed to steal? He’ll take it back in triumph!

The dignity they took from him? He’ll win it back, punch by punch!

Watch as this war hero sets the family back on the right path, trains a master chef, supports a top student, and, in this turbulent era, protects his loved ones and builds a bright future!

Every scheme, every grievance, every debt will be settled here!
