Yi Dingtian wakes up one morning to find that he has transmigrated to the 1950s.
His parents are dead, and his family is desperately poor.
On a mat of dry grass, his two baby brothers cry for milk, staring at him.
What a disastrous start!
Yi Dingtian is at his wit's end!
Luckily, his neighbor, Aunt Wang, has a considerate daughter who sneaks food to him every day behind her stingy mother's back.
That is how Yi Dingtian manages to scrape by, finding a little sweetness amid the hardship.
One day, while leafing through the family genealogy, Yi Dingtian comes across a familiar name: Yi Zhonghai!
Only then does Yi Dingtian realize he has transmigrated into the world of Love in the Courtyard!
Looking at the flawless cheek of his neighbor Aunt Wang's daughter, Wang Xingyue, Yi Dingtian says something unprecedented:
“Xingyue, I want to send my two brothers to live with my older brother in the city. Will your mother still object to us being together?”
“Brother Dingtian, my mom says you're a liar...”
Wang Xingyue's cheeks instantly turn rosy, and she replies with sultry eyes.
