Siheyuan: With Terminal Lung Cancer, I Steal the Beasts' Lifespans

Li Yu transmigrates to a courtyard compound in the 1960s. In his previous life, he had terminal lung cancer. In this life, he is just as gravely ill, with only three days left to live.

What's worse, before he has even breathed his last, the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai, and the other beasts in the courtyard are already eyeing his family's house, secretly wishing he would hurry up and die.

Then the Long Life System activates. By collecting the negative emotions of the courtyard's beasts, he can steal their remaining years and extend his own life.

From the start, Li Yu uses a Death-Sign to drain a year of Jia Dongxu's life, then furiously rebukes Yi Zhonghai and beats up Silly Zhu, turning every courtyard resident's meltdown into fuel for his own survival.

Later, he joins the steel mill, develops new technology, welcomes Lou Xiao'e's child, then heads to Hong Kong to establish Huayu Computers and an automotive business.

While the beasts are still busy tearing one another apart, he is living to a ripe old age and building a world-shaking technological empire!
