Siheyuan: Tenfold

After transmigrating to the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang in 1959, Chen Zixing becomes a six-year-old orphan whose parents are dead. The moment he opens his eyes, he catches Yi Zhonghai leading the courtyard's pack of scoundrels in carving up his family's five-room west wing. They're even trying to forcibly seize his father's permanent job at the steel mill.

Cornered with no way out, he sets his own house on fire and turns the tables, activating the Self-Reliance, Tenfold Returns System in the process. Anything he makes by hand earns him ten times its value in return.

The six-year-old takes on the crafty old foxes of the entire courtyard, tears up fake receipts, reports illegal fundraising, and overturns clan rules. One notarized document puts an end to all their schemes and leaves the troublemaking Jia Zhangshi flat on her face. With the System and his wits, he turns the tables time and again in an age of scarcity, taking down every demon and monster in this vermin-filled courtyard, one by one.
