[Urban fantasy + historical ensemble cast + comedic everyday life + tearjerker + no heroine]
Lu Chang’an takes over the run-down Huaxia Origin residential complex after it goes bankrupt, becoming its property manager.
At first, he thinks all the tenants are crazy extras from Hengdian.
The hot-tempered old man in Unit 101 keeps muttering, “The fourth son did a fine job, but if only my Biao’er were still here...”
The one-armed man in the underground garage can’t even use a smartphone, yet stands ramrod straight facing northwest late at night. “Last soldier of the Anxi Army, reporting for duty!”
The lady on the top floor gets drunk every day and drags Lu Chang’an into a game of finger-guessing. “Five fingers! Whoever loses has to write a poem!”
Then one day, Lu Chang’an takes the old man from Unit 101 to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, shows the one-armed man footage of a modern military parade, and buys the drunken lady a high-speed rail ticket to the Northeast...
That’s when he discovers that this residential complex connects to five thousand years of Chinese history!
To help great figures from across the ages leave this world without regrets, Lu Chang’an launches a service that handles requests from every dynasty.
He takes Chancellor Zhuge on a high-speed train from Chengdu to Luoyang;
He teaches Marquis Champion how to ride a Harley down modern highways;
He tells Xin Qiji that the monk who begged for alms really did pacify the Central Plains!
Here, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han argue over free parking spaces, while generals whose names will live forever offer wine and cigarettes to soldiers who died unknown.
No romance, no political intrigue, just people reaching across a thousand years to find each other.
Welcome to Huaxia Origin Residential Complex!
