Siheyuan: Starting as an Electrician, Qin Huairu Is Beside Herself with Regret

When he wakes up, Li Weiguo has transmigrated into Love in the Courtyard, becoming the unluckiest man in the whole neighborhood.

Both his parents are dead, and his home is bare. Qin Huairu, the woman he'd once been set up with, turned around and married Jia Dongxu from across the hall, while Li himself became a laughingstock, dismissed by everyone as "a hopeless case."

But the wheels of fate have begun to turn.

The [Sign-in System] that came with him brings a surprise every day. Armed with knowledge far ahead of his time and help from the System, he starts out as a trainee electrician whom everyone looks down on. In just one year, he rises through the ranks to become the factory's youngest Level 6 electrician, earning more than the "romantic hero" Silly Zhu. He is also the first in the courtyard to bring home a gleaming new bicycle.

When the smell of meat wafts out of his home and his brand-new bicycle sits by the door, the neighbors who once looked on coldly can't sit still anymore.

The moralizing Yi Zhonghai wants him to "be generous." The calculating Third Uncle wants to mooch off his meals. The parasitic white lotus Qin Huairu regrets her choice. The overbearing mother-in-law Jia Zhangshi keeps cursing him. And the simp-warrior Silly Zhu is even more indignant...

Faced with the moral blackmail and jealous schemes of this pack of "beasts," Li Weiguo only sneers.

Help them out? Lend them a hand?

Where were you when my mother was gravely ill and my family had no rice to eat?

Now that I've made a good life for myself through my own efforts, you want a piece of the pie?

Watch Li Weiguo navigate this era of material scarcity and complicated relationships, using the System and his wits to plan each step, focus on his career, and live quietly. He'll give these beasts a thorough face-slapping, build a happy life for himself, and ultimately find his own happiness and fulfillment.
