Siheyuan: Refusing to Be Used, I Rise to Build a Great Industrial Power

Hardcore, historically grounded, logical, rewarded for diligence, decisive and ruthless, no tolerating manipulative women

After transmigrating to 1961, Lin Fan starts out as the orphaned son of a martyr at the Hongxing Steel Plant.

His father died in the line of duty, leaving behind 500 yuan in compensation and two spacious rooms. That instantly attracts scheming from everyone in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai tries to guilt-trip him with moral arguments? Qin Huairu plays the sob story while leeching off him? Bang Geng wants to become the courtyard's master thief? Silly Zhu uses force to make him cough up donations?

Faced with this unruly mob, Lin Fan sneers. Want to prey on an orphan? Not a chance!

From the start, he fights back by teaching them the law. With a coal-tong clamp, he teaches the so-called tough guy a lesson, and sends the hypocritical First Master to jail! Bang Geng steals meat? An industrial rat trap will take care of him!

He awakens the Heaven Rewards the Diligent ability and gains a portable space: every bit of hard work yields a hundredfold reward.

From a Grade Eight fitter to a chief engineer, from hand-building machine tools to developing specialty steel.

In this harsh era of scarcity, Lin Fan relies solely on his hardcore skills and ruthless methods to rise all the way to the top of the nation's heavy industry!

While the courtyard's vermin are still fighting like dogs over a mouthful of cornmeal, he is already standing at the forefront of the age, coolly watching the clowns meet their final fate!
