Siheyuan: From Apprentice in the Electric Lamp Room to Rising Through the Ranks!

Liang Zili woke up one day and transmigrated to 1958, landing in the Bird-Filled Siheyuan, where he became the head of the poorest household in the courtyard.

His family scrimped and saved, tightening their belts and gritting their teeth to put him through an electrical vocational school. They all hoped he could land a secure job for life.

During his graduation exam, an accident broke out. He fearlessly rushed into an electric arc to save an eighth-grade electrician, unexpectedly activating his exclusive Brightness Value System.

Fix a lamp and gain one Brightness Point. Knowledge, supplies, and career opportunities could all be redeemed!

While others still struggled through the nights by kerosene lamp, he had already learned every wire and circuit in the siheyuan.

While neighbors schemed against each other and fought tooth and nail over half a bowl of food, he used the System to obtain supplies from overseas, securing five years' worth of food for his entire family.

Starting as an apprentice in the lighting department, he won first place in a technical competition, then advanced step by step to the provincial bureau and all the way to the ministries.

As he repaired lights and expanded infrastructure, he also put an end to the conflicts around him, leaving all the courtyard's snobbish schemers speechless.

And one after another, the young women of the era found their way into his home!
