Two People Transmigrate to 1949, and from the Start We Meet Lou Zhenhua 双穿一九四九,开局遇到娄振华
Forget personal standards and enjoy a shameless life. No more emotional self-torment; when something happens, just lose it: better to inconvenience others than make yourself suffer. That was Su Tianci in 2026. By chance, he transmigrated to Beiping just after its liberation. He also awakened a pocket dimension that could take him back to 2026. The economically booming year 2026 and the war-torn year 1949, two vastly different eras, now lay before him.
