Turning My Life Around in Siheyuan with a Sign-in System

This novel has very little angst: after transmigrating to 1960, he becomes Yi Zhonghai’s adopted son and gains a daily sign-in System.

From photographic memory to mechanical expertise, from scarce meat and grain to blueprints for the future…

Lin Tian only wants to keep a low profile, focus on his studies, and gradually improve his life with knowledge ahead of its time.

But there’s never a dull moment in the courtyard house.

The Jia family’s schemes, Xu Damao’s treachery, Second Uncle’s hunger for authority, Third Uncle’s stinginess…

Faced with one troublesome neighbor after another, he simply smiles.

You’re fighting over scraps. I’m working toward a stronger nation.

You’re caught up in petty household squabbles. I’m offering strategies to benefit the country.

While others rack their brains over how to get half a pound of meat coupons, his blueprints for an “energy-saving stove” have already been submitted to the neighborhood office.

While the entire courtyard gathers to point fingers at him, a special admission notice from a university and a visit from an engineer leave everyone speechless.

From a child prodigy at Hongxing Primary School to a key member of a secret project team at a top university.

From improving a single machine tool to helping design blueprints for the nation’s most advanced equipment.

Step by step, Lin Tian puts the gifts of the sign-in System to use, quietly setting the wheels of an era in motion.

Yi Zhonghai cries tears of joy: “That’s my son!”

The courtyard’s busybodies stare in disbelief: “Who is he, really?”

This is the story of a young man who starts in a courtyard house and uses science and ingenuity to make up for past regrets, protect those closest to him, and ultimately bring his light to a much wider world.
