Mirror Nightmare Siheyuan

Programmer Su Muhe transmigrates to a courtyard-house world where time flows backward, becoming a frail orphan and binding himself to a face-slapping life-extension System. He discovers that all his neighbors in the courtyard are coveting his family's property, and that, in this backward-flowing timeline, he is destined to die of illness in three months.

Using the System's skills, Su Muhe repeatedly face-slaps the neighbors, whom he regards as a pack of beasts. Gradually, he discovers that the courtyard is actually a temporal anchor and that the neighbors are being controlled by mysterious marks. He gathers allies and fights the time guardians hidden behind the scenes, while exploring spacetime nodes such as an ancient well and an old pagoda tree.
