Siheyuan: Building a Fortune Through Sign-Ins, The General's Son-in-Law Takes It Easy

[A Warm and Cozy Reminder] This novel focuses on sign-in and effortless success, a technical path to advancement, cozy daily life with one female lead, and watching the courtyard's colorful characters from the sidelines. There's little angst and plenty of satisfying moments, in a lighthearted story about steadily growing up in a bygone era.

I transmigrated to 1965, and from the start, I was bound to the Harmonious Life Sign-in System.

Others who transmigrated into the courtyard either fight the troublemakers or help the poor,

but my approach, Lu Mingyuan's, is crystal clear: avoid getting entangled in karma, don't save scumbags, quietly make a fortune, and watch the world change with a smile.

Sign in every day, and grain coupons, meat coupons, technical blueprints, and intelligence from the future are automatically delivered.

At the factory, I'm the "technical genius" who casually solves difficult problems;

in the courtyard, I'm the "spectator" who won't let anyone take the slightest advantage of me.

Xu Damao tries to set me up? I turn the tables with an expired can of food.

Silly Zhu wants to throw a punch? He gets called away by the workshop supervisor.

The three uncles want to hold a meeting to criticize me? I pull out my secondment letter from a government ministry.

Then I marry Shen Qingqiu, the daughter of a general with an astonishing background,

and the courtyard's troublemakers go completely mad: "What makes him so special?!"

I calmly sign in, keeping my achievements to myself.

From the steel mill to the First Ministry of Machine-Building, from years of famine to times of turmoil,

I rely on sign-ins and just a tiny bit of foresight to advance steadily.

By the time that decade of upheaval arrives, I've already taken my wife and children to the Third Front, where I keep signing in and doing research.

Years later, I return to find the troublemakers still scheming against one another in the courtyard.

They look up at my interview on television and finally understand:

Some people never intended to play the same game as them in the first place.
