Siheyuan: Starting from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Cheng Yu opens his eyes to find himself transported to a siheyuan courtyard in the early 1960s. His new life comes with the standard transmigration baggage—both parents deceased, leaving him to care for a five-year-old sister. It is a harsh start, but at least it fits the formula. The world also grants him a solid identity: a twenty-year-old medical school graduate and a martyr's dependent. Yet for all those advantages, there is no system cheat to guide him. Fortunately, the merged physical and mental strength from two lifetimes gives him enough backbone to survive in a courtyard teeming with scheming neighbors—without that small edge, they would have picked him clean to the bone. Right from the start, Yi Zhonghai puts on a grand show of righteousness, trying to saddle Cheng Yu with moral obligations and arrange his life. But a soul from the twenty-first century is hardly swayed by grand speeches. Shutting down these so-called "animals" is as easy as opening his mouth. Cheng Yu is determined to live his own brilliant life in this era—taming every schemer in the courtyard while keeping his eyes on the one woman every transmigrator seems to remember: Lou Zi. He knows clearly in his heart: in this lifetime, he loves only Lou Zi. No matter how charming the other beauties may be, he will only offer them an apology—because for him, one lifetime with one true love is the only way to live. Amid the smoky warmth of the siheyuan, he will stand his ground firmly while guarding the fire in his heart.
