Synopsis
Sun Jianguo and his sister flee a devastating famine to seek refuge with their deaf grandmother in the Hongxing Courtyard of Sijiu City. Upon arrival, Jianguo discovers a career scanning system that allows him to instantly acquire professional expertise, including traditional Chinese medicine, hunting, and culinary arts. This novel reads like a classic system-driven power fantasy set within the Siheyuan fan-fiction trope, where a protagonist uses supernatural advantages to dominate a claustrophobic social environment. It is ideal for readers who enjoy wish-fulfillment and the satisfaction of seeing opportunistic antagonists outmaneuvered. Those looking for a rigorous historical simulation or complex character studies should skip it. The pacing is brisk, characterized by the rapid acquisition of skills and the immediate resolution of conflicts through the protagonist's newfound superiority.

Editorial Review
This work is a straightforward entry into the Siheyuan niche, leveraging a 'career scanning' mechanic to provide instant gratification. The primary strength is its clear sense of progression; the transition from a desperate refugee to a multi-talented master is handled with efficient speed, ensuring the reader is never bored. However, the narrative suffers from a repetitive structure. With only 53 chapters, the plot relies heavily on a cycle of gaining a skill and then using it to shut down greedy neighbors, which may become formulaic over time. The characters currently function more as archetypes for the protagonist to overcome rather than fully realized individuals. While it succeeds as a light, escapist read for fans of the genre, it lacks the narrative depth required to transcend its specific subgenre tropes.
