OngoingLu Qingyang transmigrates into a ’70s-era novel as a pitiful cannon-fodder simp.
His cousin steals his job.
His family sends him to the poorest area to chop wood as a part of the rural resettlement program.
He marries a so-called "used" woman and lives a miserable life, only to discover his children aren't even his.
Enough is enough. Lu Qingyang cuts ties with his toxic relatives, reports his uncle’s family, sells his "iron rice bowl" (a secure government job), and heads to the countryside.
The female lead loves the scumbag? Great! Let them have each other. He’s done playing the fool.
Armed with a magical space full of supplies, Lu Qingyang thrives in the countryside:
While others are starving and digging for tree roots, he feasts on fish and meat.
While others shiver in the cold, he hunts, raises fish and crabs, and cultivates medicinal herbs in his space.
With treasures and antiques piling up, he’s living the dream of a happy and prosperous rural life.
But something still seems to be missing... Until someone knocks on his door:
"Old Lu, do you want a wife or not?"
