Jia Dongsheng, a top soldier in the 21st century, was killed by a gunshot while shielding his comrades during an anti-drug operation. When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to the Korean War in 1952 and become a platoon leader in the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army.
The original Jia Dongsheng had also been named Jia Dongsheng. A mortar blast had just knocked him unconscious, and his comrades had dug him out of a mound of earth. At first, he thought he was on a movie set. Then one comrade after another fell in battle, and the fighting spirit of a soldier from two lifetimes blazed to life within him. Once his memories merged, he proved a crack shot and a decisive commander, making his mark on the battlefield and taking down enemies with every shot.
Only after he had calmed down did he realize the shocking truth: he was a member of the Jia family from a Beijing courtyard house. His mother was Jia Zhangshi, his older brother was Jia Dongxu, and he was Jia Dongxu’s twin brother! He had hated this family in his previous life, and now they were his own flesh and blood. Jia Dongsheng was utterly dumbfounded.
When he was discharged and returned to the courtyard house, his first order of business was to set the family straight:
Bang Geng wants to become a “thieving sage”? He gets his legs broken!
Yi Zhonghai wants to scheme against the Jia family and have them support him in his old age? Dream on!
Silly Zhu has his eye on Jia Dongsheng’s sister-in-law, Qin Huairu? He gets beaten into a real fool!
The top soldier is back, ready to put every troublemaker in their place and sweep away the courtyard’s crooked ways!
The AI smell is too strong and has no soul.
