As the seasons turned, Lin Wei found himself dreaming—not of escaping poverty, nor of proving himself.
He dreamed of rebuilding the siheyuan.Repairing its walls.Strengthening its beams.Making it a home grand enough to shelter every resident safely for years to come.
And he would do it the same way he did everything else:
By working hard.By earning heaven's favor.By growing step by step until nothing could defeat him.
Because this courtyard—filled with noise, gossip, warmth, and stubborn love—was where he belonged.
Where heaven had chosen to reward him.
Where his story was just beginning.
