Siheyuan: I Only Wanted to Lie Flat, So How Did I Become an Expert?

Su Chen, a 996 office drone, dies of overwork and transmigrates to a courtyard in the 1960s, becoming a temporary canteen worker with no one to rely on.

He wants nothing more than to take it easy among the courtyard's beasts, but unexpectedly activates the Perfect Life Lie-Flat System.

Want to lie flat? First, you have to work hard!

To eventually lie flat in style, Su Chen is forced down a path of "neglecting his proper duties."

His god-tier cooking skills make everyone in the courtyard drool. His precision metalwork stuns the factory director. His high-tech inventions alarm the government ministries...

Su Chen: "I really just want to lie flat. Why do you have to force me to become an all-around expert?"
