“A feel-good story set in a 1950s courtyard compound + a little boy protecting his baby sister + mystic powers and a space for taking down scumbags”
In 1950, his parents leave on a secret mission in the middle of the night, leaving five-year-old Lin Yan and his baby sister behind.
Before they go, they lay down three ironclad rules:
Don’t get involved in the compound’s business!
Don’t give anyone money or food!
If anyone messes with us, pay them back tenfold!
With an ancestral spirit ring in hand, he has a spirit field that multiplies yields tenfold and a spirit spring that strengthens the body. He’s a master of feng shui, Chinese medicine, and martial arts.
Qin Huairu wants to mooch off him? A bad-luck talisman is in order!
Jia Zhangshi wants to fake an accident? A curse that rots her mouth will take care of her!
The Third Uncle wants to guilt-trip him? A little feng shui will teach him a lesson!
Without lifting a finger in anger or getting his hands dirty, this adorable little boy brings the whole compound’s scoundrels to tears, while also exposing an enemy agent in hiding and becoming a little hero of the Military Control Commission!
