Siheyuan: I Spoil My Wife Chen Xueru, and the Whole Courtyard Is Green with Envy

This book is light on angst, grounded in everyday life, rich in period atmosphere, and steeped in the flavor of old Beijing.

Li Jianye transmigrates to Beijing in 1952.

He was supposed to go on a blind date with Qin Huairu, but she looked down on him for having neither parents nor a job, and Jia Dongxu cut in and married her instead.

Later, Li Jianye activates the System and becomes a master of traditional Chinese painting. He turns around and marries the fair-skinned beauty Chen Xueru, and his life gets better and better.

The young couple feast on meat and fish every day, drink Moutai at every meal, make the papers for their achievements, and receive visits from government leaders...

Before long, everyone in the entire courtyard is green with envy.

Meanwhile, the Jia family's life grows worse by the day, leaving them mired in hardship.

Qin Huairu regrets it terribly and spends every night washing her face with tears.
