Siheyuan: Rising to the Top with Shared Traits

Xia Chen, an office drone from the twenty-first century, transmigrates to 1955 and the world of Love in the Courtyard, where he awakens the [Tianxing: Shared Traits] System. He comes with a pocket dimension, the [Tianxing Farm], and can instantly copy other people’s traits. As long as he gets within five meters of someone, he can acquire their traits.
