Siheyuan: The Lazy Genius's Effortless Path to Victory

Reborn in 1950, the prodigy Chen Nuo moves into the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. The chaos in the neighboring courtyard at No. 96 becomes his perfect “immersive theater.” He studies, tinkers with small inventions, and uses his era-defying ingenuity to quietly steer the capitalist’s daughter, Lou Xiao'e, toward a completely different life. While others scheme over food rations and housing, he smiles and calmly writes a life of his own, untouched by worry.
