Courtyard Chronicles: The Reluctant Hero of the Hutong

Li Weidong just wants a quiet life—but fate has other plans. Armed with a mystical game farm that ensures he'll never go hungry, he returns to an era of scarcity determined to coast through as the ultimate slacker. Too bad his own family can't stand his laid-back attitude, and the scheming widow next door has already picked him as her son-in-law. Between nosy neighbors, family drama, and the sweeping changes of a transformative era, can our reluctant hero maintain his carefree existence? A slice-of-life journey through old Beijing's courtyard culture, where doing nothing is an art form.
