Laying Low in the Siheyuan

In 1957, programmer Li Weidong transmigrates into the body of a purchasing agent at a steel mill, with a jade pendant space and the "Hard Work Makes Up for Lack of Talent" System. He chooses to keep a low profile and secretly help four struggling women: Qin Huairu, Ding Qiunan, Liang Ladi, and Lou Xiao'e. He teaches them to read and train in martial arts. Over time, love blossoms, and all four practice the Yin-Yang Coexistence Art together, eventually becoming his partners. In his career, he rises from purchasing agent to deputy factory director, heads south to Hong Kong to buy up assets while the market is down, and eventually amasses a fortune worth tens of billions, giving back to society along the way. Looking back at sixty, he finds himself surrounded by children and grandchildren in the courtyard. He firmly believes that hard work makes up for lack of talent, and that constant effort wears away stone. Life just got a little better, day by day.
