In the Courtyard, I Love Turning Tables

Liu Gen wants to imitate his ancestor, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, the Son of the Plane, by summoning a meteor. To his surprise, he succeeds, only to be crushed to death by the meteor. His soul transmigrates to Liu Village outside the city of Beijing in 1959.

It is the height of the three-year famine. With his family on the verge of running out of food, Liu Gen, a villager with the same name as the protagonist, sets off for Beijing carrying the hopes of his whole family, hoping to beg for a meal. By a twist of fate, he moves into Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang. But only half a month after moving in, someone clubs him from behind, killing him. The protagonist, who was crushed to death by a meteor, seizes the opportunity to return to life in his body. Yet the moment he wakes up, Yi Zhonghai leads the Jia family in an attempt to take over the house.

See how the protagonist gives the courtyard's bullies a taste of their own medicine and brings his entire family to the city to enjoy a better life.
