I'm a bit confused. I just went on a budget trip, how did I become a fool for no reason? Well! Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. At least I don't have to worry about eating bread every day. Although this era is materially scarce, the people of this era are simple and kind! The happiness index of life is high! ~Okay! Except for this man-eating courtyard and the beasts living in this courtyard~

Gao Zhendong transmigrates into the world of Siheyuan (The Courtyard). As a newcomer to the quadrangle compound, he boasts an impeccable background: an exemplar of revolutionary pedigree, physically robust, strikingly handsome, and battle-hardened from military service where he earned repeated merits. With advanced university education, technical expertise, ample funds, and a system at his disposal, he possesses both the wisdom of his past life and the system's guaranteed resources—occasionally enhanced by futuristic insights from lucky draws.

Rejecting trivial pursuits and petty squabbles over trifles, he aspires to contribute meaningfully in this zealous and vibrant era. At the very least, he wishes to declare in his twilight years: "These two lifetimes have been worthwhile."

Reborn as He Yuzhu in a chaotic Siheyuan courtyard, he awakens the Divine Chef System—with top-tier cooking skills and a sharp mind, he's not here to be anyone’s fool.

From day one, he marries his wife and flips the script on this so-called "neighborhood drama." Qin Huairu and the First Uncle try to guilt-trip him with their twisted morals? Not a chance.

Jia Zhang and Bang Geng causing trouble again? Brother Zhuzi has no time for their nonsense—and he’s not afraid to show them who's boss.

Wholesome vibes, slice-of-life twists, character reworks, and a loyal single female lead—watch He Yuzhu cook up a new life in the courtyard, one dish (and one showdown) at a time!

In this life, He Yuzhu's first priority is to prevent his mother from dying, so that He Yushui can become a child with a mother, and the family can be together.

Besides that, of course I have to do something secretly, but...

[Siheyuan + delicious food + no violence]

[Subsequently, Jia Zhang died]

Liu Pingan woke up and traveled to the world of Siheyuan, becoming a purchaser of a steel mill.

But he had no ambitions,

He just wanted to lead his family to live a good life in these difficult years.

Upon waking up, Li Kailang found himself traveling to the world of Love in Courtyard.

Became a driver in a steel mill, and the sign-in system came along.

Knowing the appearance of the beasts in the courtyard, Li Kailang naturally would not be confused by their behavior.

In this era, Li Kailang completed the factory's tasks on time and delivered steel and goods. Not only was his work simple and easy, but he also received extra rewards from time to time.

When you are on a mission out of the province, you can also taste local specialties and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

He said that whoever dares to mess with me will be dealt with!

【It doesn't follow the plot exactly, there are some changes. 】

Having traversed the world of traditional courtyard houses, I became a street office cadre.

The beasts in the yard thought they were too young to be easily manipulated.

They all wanted to take advantage of him.

At this moment, he awakened the system and used its power to teach the beasts in the yard a good lesson.

Trying to take advantage? I'll break your teeth.

Su Jianjun traveled through the famine of the 1960s and became a young man fleeing famine, bringing his sister with him.

They were still hundreds of kilometers away from Sijiu City and had no food left.

He was about to starve to death on the road to escape the famine, but fortunately, at the critical moment, he obtained a small world where he could farm, raise animals, and strengthen his body.

Relying on the small world, Su Jianjun and his sister fled the famine and came to Sijiu City.

And relying on his own abilities, he successfully got a job and settled down in Beijing!

It was only then that he discovered that this was a world full of birds!

Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality!

Liu Haizhong, a loving father and a filial son!

Yan Bugui is full of tricks!

Necromancer Jia Zhang!

Qin Huairu, the white lotus of the prosperous age!

The ultimate bootlicker He Yuzhu!

…

Su Jianjun didn't want to pay any attention to these beasts. He just wanted to live a good life in the city with his sister!

When Wan Ping'an woke up, he found himself back in the courtyard house where he lived in his fifties. Wan Ping'an had no skills and faced the threat of hunger! He was desperate! But luckily, he had a farming system! "With these things, I have everything!" [Ding! Planted a rice paddy, gained eight divine skills!] [Ding! Planted a kilometer, gained a mysterious space!]

Traveled back to a Siheyuan courtyard in 1954?

Good thing I’ve got a skill upgrade system, an infinite storage space, and a planting realm.

What’s that?

I’m the heir to a family with a thousand-year legacy? And I’m the clan leader too?

These people in the courtyard think they can compete with me?

Of course I’ll lead my clan to become the number one family—build the world’s top village!

Starting from scratch to build Wang Family Village is where the real fun begins.

(The story has been adapted from familiar settings, but all characters are normal people—please don’t impose character archetypes from other novels.)

(The early chapters feature Siheyuan plotlines, but the focus shifts to clan development in the middle and later parts.)
