Siheyuan: Reborn and Unmarried, I Finally Wait for Xiao’e’s Return

In 1966, in a Siheyuan in the capital.

He Yuzhu is reborn, carrying all the regret and resentment of his past life.

He spent the first half of his life muddling through, becoming the Jia family’s fool and letting Qin Huairu’s family drain him dry. Yi Zhonghai guilt-tripped him, while all sorts of outrageous neighbors took advantage of him at every turn. In the end, he was left alone and miserable.

Given another chance at life, he finally sees the light and vows to forge a whole new path!

This time, he draws a clear line between himself and Qin Huairu, keeping only their ordinary lunchbox arrangement. He won’t give in or let sentiment sway him, and he’ll never let anyone manipulate him again.

With nourishing medicinal dishes and superb cooking skills, he builds connections and rises steadily through the steel mill, with a bright future ahead.

Whether it’s the hypocritical Yi Zhonghai, the unreasonable Jia Zhangshi, or the troublemaking Xu Damao, he faces every scheme and obstacle with ease, striking back and serving up one face-slapping moment after another.

Liu Lan and Yu Li are caring companions, while Ran Qiuyue becomes a kindred spirit. He keeps a healthy balance with everyone around him and enjoys a peaceful, comfortable life.

No matter how much the whole courtyard schemes behind his back, He Yuzhu stays true to himself.

He won’t let worldly troubles tie him down or settle for a marriage of convenience. He’ll weather the years in peace, waiting for Lou Xiao'e to return.

When the winds of reform arrive, he seizes the opportunity to start a business, builds a substantial fortune, protects the people he loves, and lives out the rest of his days in security and contentment.
