Siheyuan: Defying-Heaven Comprehension, Cracking Silly Zhu's Recipes

He transmigrates into a Beijing courtyard, but his extraordinary comprehension is limited by his physical body, and Cat Grandpa will die at seventeen.

Fortunately, a turning point comes sooner than he expected. A battered book propping up Silly Zhu's bed is analyzed by him, and he manages to decipher the secret recipes for five lost Sichuan seasoning blends. Silly Zhu is so delighted he can barely contain himself and immediately decides to test them out. Lin Jiajun also gets a taste of cooking and quickly realizes there is an entirely new path to explore: medicinal herbs and seasonings are far more closely connected than they seem. He needs more books, more recipes, and more chances to experiment to satisfy his increasingly ravenous comprehension.

Life in the courtyard gradually grows livelier. Xu Damao, Silly Zhu, and Lin Jiajun were already close, and snatching Jia Dongxu's marriage prospect away only tightened their bond. If Qin Huairu really marries Silly Zhu, the balance of power in the courtyard will have to be reshuffled. But Lin Jiajun always has one worry at the back of his mind: the sea of stars Dog Grandpa left behind is still out there, and the mystery of his parents' disappearance remains unsolved. He must strengthen his body to withstand the impact of each release of his comprehension, and to have enough strength left to investigate the faces that should never have appeared in this era.
