Siheyuan: Thanks for Asking, I'm in the Sixties and Just Want to Lie Flat

After dying suddenly from overwork under the 996 schedule, Su Chen transmigrates to a courtyard in 1965, an orphan with no one to rely on.

Facing the beasts in the courtyard, he's had enough. Let it all burn; all he wants in this life is to lie flat.

But the Perfect Life Lie-Flat System tells him that if he wants to lie flat, he has to work hard first!

"Work hard so I can lie flat? What kind of ridiculous logic is that?"

He has no choice. To enjoy a peaceful life as a slacker in the future, Su Chen is forced to take action.

Qin Huairu wants to bleed me dry? Sorry, I'd feed the bones from my meat to a dog before giving them to you.

Silly Zhu challenges my cooking? One plate of mapo tofu has him begging to become my apprentice on the spot.

Yi Zhonghai wants to scheme so I'll support him in his old age? My ability to read people will leave his plans in ruins and disgrace him.

From a temporary worker at the steel mill to a chief scientist who astonishes the entire nation.

Su Chen only wanted to lie flat, but somehow he ended up standing atop the world.

The beasts regret everything: "Why did we ever mess with him?" Su Chen: "Don't ask. I did it all so I could lie flat."
