Siheyuan: You Tried to Force Me into a Live-In Marriage? I Turned Around and Passed the Standing Committee Exam

Modern elite Chen Yanqiu wakes up as Zhou Mingxuan, a resident of a courtyard house. From the start, he's on the brink of death after taking poison. He's up against a career-obsessed father who wants to marry him off to a mentally disabled woman, and a courtyard full of scheming parasites, young and old alike. Then he activates the Defy Fate, Great Fortune System.

While everyone else is tearing each other apart over half a jin of grain coupons, he accurately predicts the resumption of the national college entrance exams and heads straight to a central ministry as the provincial top scorer.

When his rivals frame him with underhanded tricks, he turns the tables with policy and strategy, making grassroots experience a stepping stone to promotion.

From the petty squabbles of a courtyard house to the red-headed official documents of the ministries; from a pawn at everyone else's mercy to a rising star wielding real power.

Zhou Mingxuan's path is clear: no schemes or dirty tricks, just rules and a record of achievement to crush everyone who stands in his way.

Many years later, when he becomes the youngest member of the Standing Committee, he returns to the little courtyard where it all began.

Everyone who once pressured, humiliated, underestimated, or despised him can only gaze up at a figure they will never understand.
