Courtyard Chronicles: The Scrap Collector's Fortune in 1961

When Ye Chuan wakes up in 1961 as a humble scrap collector in a Beijing courtyard, he discovers his new life comes with an extraordinary advantage—a system that turns trash into treasure. While his neighbors struggle through hard times, he's uncovering hidden valuables, dominating the black market, and living like royalty. Seven tons of glass today, five tons of rare books tomorrow—each haul brings him closer to wealth and power. As he outsmarts the scheming residents of the courtyard and wins the heart of a stunning beauty, Ye Chuan proves that one man's junk is truly another man's empire.
