Synopsis

(Two heroines, no romantic indecision, ensemble cast. Readers who might object, proceed with caution.)

Liu Aiguo began making plans before Liberation. When he grew up, he moved into a courtyard with his parents.

As the neighborhood committee secretary, he doesn't need to hit anyone. He can settle everything by the rules.

He can keep the neighborhood office in line above him and sweep every scoundrel in the courtyard aside below.

His game is all about open strategy and sly tricks!

Original character: Lin Meijiao.
