In 1965, Sijiu City, Su Heping transmigrates into the beast-filled courtyard and binds himself to a sign-in System for a farmstead, gaining the medical skills of a master physician and top-notch cooking talent.
The original owner was cheated and schemed against by the Jia family after saving Jia Dongxu. Once awakened, Su Heping sheds his timid ways and stands his ground against Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, Silly Zhu, and the rest of the courtyard's worst troublemakers, refusing to be blackmailed by their moral pressure.
He establishes himself in the steel mill infirmary, saves Chairman Lou, and foils Xu Damao's schemes. He then volunteers at a relief station, offering free medical care and cooking for a crowd, where he encounters a foreign girl named Xiao Di.
With a spirit-spring farmstead, the ability to decipher talismans, and the skill to tame beasts, he plans carefully at every turn, stockpiling supplies and treasures and preparing for the future. In turbulent times, he protects himself and finds love, forging a path to a comfortable and secure life.
