Name: Period: My Life in Beijing’s Nanluoguxiang, a Siheyuan Neighborhood
Author: Hangjia of the North

Synopsis

[Urban farming + courtyard life + family squabbles + rooting out spies + System + pocket dimension + antiques appraisal + fishing + making a fortune]

Zhang Qi transmigrates into the world of Love in the Courtyard, specifically the courtyard at No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, in the capital.

Talk about a nightmare from the start: Japanese invaders frame Zhang Qi as an enemy spy, and he is thrown into prison.

After awakening his System, he beats up the Japanese invaders and calls Li Yunlong to confirm his identity.

In the fiery years of the revolution, he takes on the courtyard's troublemakers and roots out enemy spies.

Zhang Qi: My hatred for the Japanese invaders is eternal. If I find one, I'll kill him.

Yi Zhonghai: I just want a child to look after me in my old age.

Yan Bugui: Fishing, growing flowers, walking my bird, browsing Liulichang... A carefully calculated life is the good life. You won't go hungry from eating, or go naked from dressing, but fail to plan and you'll be poor.

Li Yunlong: Zhang Qi, if only you were one of my soldiers!

Zhang Qi: Commander, I used to be one of your soldiers. You can head south, and I'll stay in the capital.

Liu Haizhong: What's wrong with wanting to be an official? A man who never becomes an official has wasted his life!

He Yuzhu: Brother Qi said you can't call me Silly Zhu. I'm not damn silly. If you want to bleed me dry, you'll have to get past Brother Qi first.

He Yushui: Dad can't be relied on. He ran off with that widow Bai again. Brother Qi and his family have really looked after the He family.

He Daqing: I didn't get picked to be the courtyard head, so Widow Bai is still the better choice. I'm going to Baoding.

Li Jiacheng: I'm the richest candied-haw seller in the capital. Yi Zhonghai, move aside.

Granny Deaf: I can't hear... Wait, I can hear you. I'm the matriarch of this courtyard, and I can do whatever I want.

Zhang Qi: Found a spy! Arrest him!

Siheyuan, Period Story, Sign-In System, Tons of Supplies, Plausible Numbers

Looking for period novels like "The Courtyard" and "Under the Zhengyang Gate". They should have a System, preferably one with sign-ins that give you tons of supplies and goods each time. Most importantly, the period details should be realistic, like a bride price of around ten yuan, not a few hundred just because someone feels generous.
