Siheyuan: From the Start, I Hand It All Over and Become a National Treasure

Economics professor Chen Zhixing transmigrates to a courtyard house in the 1960s and becomes a fool everyone can bully. His gravely ill grandmother is on her deathbed, yet the scoundrels in the courtyard show up in the rain demanding that he give up his home! They want him to make a sacrifice? He crushes them with his knowledge. They want to compare connections? He submits an essay, “On Planning and the Market,” straight to the highest authorities and becomes a nationally treasured adviser! Yi Zhonghai tries to guilt-trip him? Chen Zhixing uses economic models to make him question his entire life. Silly Zhu wants to throw a punch? Though strong as an ox, he soon learns that knowledge is the mightiest fist of all. Everyone wants to bleed him dry? Chen Zhixing laughs as he scatters their schemes across the floor! By the time Yi Zhonghai and the others kneel and beg for forgiveness, Chen Zhixing has already secured the strongest connections. He thought he could settle down and enjoy life as a laid-back national scholar, but then his old enemies transmigrate too… This time, he’ll use economics to turn the entire age on its head!
