After dying suddenly from overwork, modern mechanical engineer Yi Tianming opens his eyes to find himself the biological son of Yi Zhonghai in Love in the Courtyard, a boy who died at just three years old!
In the original story, Yi Zhonghai has no children. He keeps Silly Zhu around as a blood bank and uses Qin Huairu as a pawn, scheming his whole life only to end up alone. But now, he has a biological son!
Even more unbelievable, Yi Tianming has brought along his family's ancestral Spirit Spring Space: ten mu of spirit fields where anything can be grown, and a pool of spirit spring water that can cure every illness. Time passes twice as fast inside, and crops yield twice as much. While others go hungry, he eats and drinks well, living better than anyone.
Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum and tries to scam people? A ladle of spirit spring water heals Jia Dongxu's injury, leaving you no excuse to make trouble!
Qin Huairu wants to leech off him? Sorry, I'm Yi Zhonghai's biological son, so all the resources go to me first!
Silly Zhu still wants to be the blood bank? Sorry, my dad only dotes on his own son now. You'll have to wait your turn!
Xu Damao wants to cause trouble? Second Uncle and Third Uncle want to scheme against him? Yi Tianming gives a cold laugh: Those little tricks of yours are child's play to a modern engineer like me.
But this is only the beginning.
In turbulent times, while others tremble in fear, he secretly develops technology in his space. When reform and opening-up begin, while others are still waiting and watching, he has already built a machinery factory. When technology is embargoed, he leads the drive for domestic production and forges the nation's weapons!
Family squabbles are everyday life; serving the country through technology is the bigger picture.
From the courtyard to all of China, Yi Tianming will make this backward era witness the rise of the Flowering Nation ahead of time.
What kind of madhouse is Love in the Courtyard? Since he arrived, this courtyard has only known one thing: family.
