Micro-group portrait | Daily life | Family drama | Getting rich

 

Bai Lan, an easygoing person, wakes up to find herself transmigrated into a hit period drama set in the 1970s.

She becomes a background supporting character who gets rich and looks gorgeous.

Her ending is unknown, her screen time is limited, but her character design is perfect.

 

Before Bai Lan can even feel happy about it, she realizes that her family’s situation is quite different from the drama’s plot.

 

First, her virtuous older sister Bai Lian is clamoring for a divorce.

Then, her gentle second sister Bai Li gets into a fight at the factory.

After that, her smart third sister Bai Ping steals Bai Lan’s so-called “love interest.”

 

Bai Lan can’t figure out why these changes are happening, but she’s not the type to dwell on things.

If her older sister wants a divorce, she’ll get to the bottom of it—and if it’s best to divorce, then so be it.

Her second sister’s fight? No big deal. Let things take their course.

And as for her third sister stealing her love interest? A man who can be taken away isn’t worth her time.

 

Sure, a man with three legs is hard to find, but men with two legs are everywhere.

Bai Lan figures that since she’s transmigrated and can’t go back, she might as well find herself a tall, handsome man in this life.

The moment she steps outside, a tall, handsome guy bumps right into her.

Bai Lan takes one look at him and laughs with delight.

 

 

The old Bai family in Courtyard No. 3, Xinghua Hutong, has been stirring up quite a few dramas lately!

Plenty of people are waiting to see them make fools of themselves.

But guess what?

 

Sure, the Bai family’s eldest daughter got a divorce—but her life just keeps getting better.

The second daughter got into a fight at the factory, but in the end, she even earned some recognition.

And the youngest daughter, who broke off her engagement with the factory director’s son? She found herself a wonderful partner.

Meanwhile, the factory director’s family didn’t go anywhere—they got snagged by Bai Lan’s third sister, Bai Ping.

 

 

Bai Lan doesn’t care about the gossip outside.

She doesn’t think her third sister marrying into the factory director’s family is necessarily a good thing.

Anyway, her own partner is great. Living in the shared courtyard is great too.

Because there’s so much drama to enjoy.

 

One day, someone’s blind date turns into a hilarious mess.

The next day, someone embarrasses themselves by fighting over a job.

The day after, a family explodes in a mother-in-law vs. daughter-in-law battle.

 

Every day, there’s a fresh new spectacle.

Bai Lan happily watches it all, thoroughly entertained.

And as time passes, her own life grows more and more vibrant.

In the end, her family is happy, her career is successful, and she moves into a courtyard house she bought with her own money.
