Siheyuan: Forced by My Brother and Sister-in-Law to Split the Family from the Start

Zhang Dahe, a top modern-day salesman, unexpectedly transmigrates to 1958, a year of severe shortages, and becomes a sixteen-year-old with the same name, dependent on others for shelter. As soon as he opens his eyes, his greedy brother and sister-in-law force him out of the family home. Left with nothing, he struggles to survive in the cracks of a siheyuan courtyard. The courtyard is full of hidden talents and packed with outrageous neighbors, for whom sowing discord and taking advantage of others are everyday habits. Armed with modern sales know-how and a System, Zhang Dahe turns the tables on the courtyard's worst residents, leaving the so-called "beasts" speechless and making them suffer the consequences of their own actions. With the System's help, he starts a specialized breeding business and puts idle resources to use, carving out opportunities in the gaps of the planned economy. From a penniless nobody, he rises step by step to become a leading figure of his era, shaking up the 1960s. He protects his own family and forges a legendary path that is his alone.
