Siheyuan: Rising from the Famine of 1960

Xu Jian'an transmigrates to a courtyard compound in the 1960s.

That year, the country is in the midst of a three-year famine. Food is scarce nationwide, and every household has to tighten its belt.

Xu Jian'an falls ill and is bedridden, while his little sister is so hungry she can only eat dirt cakes.

Luckily, he activates the God-Tier Life System. Every time he levels up a skill, he receives generous rewards, with an unlimited supply of rice, flour, pork, milk, and more.

He also gets all kinds of miraculous rewards, including System storage space, physique potions, lucky charms, and more!

Xu Jian'an and his sister make their lives better and better.

They have a steady supply of pork, rice, and flour, and even get big-ticket items like a bicycle, a television, and a radio.

Everyone in the compound watches with envy and regret, wishing they'd helped him out back then!

And after Xu Jian'an leaves the compound, he discovers that this world is not just about courtyard compounds.

There's a doctor named Ding Qiunan at the steel mill...

There's a tailor shop owner named Chen Xueru at the Qianmen Gate...

There's a cadre's daughter named Zhou Xiaobai in the government compound...
