Siheyuan: I'm Second Best at Cooking, but Number One at Beating People!

After transmigrating, he becomes Silly Zhu, the most miserable man in the courtyard. Fortunately, he knows exactly what these people are like. From the start, he beats Xu Damao to a pulp and refuses to fall for any widow's tricks.

This courtyard, full of birds and beasts, is actually more materially prosperous than any other era.

Everyone schemes to get ahead!

But the best schemer is still First Master Yi. He can't have a son of his own and never raised one, so he wants to snatch a son halfway through life to look after him in his old age!

Qin Huairu is even more ruthless, scheming to get a free laborer for her broke-ass family.

Xu Damao has sores on his head and pus running from his feet, a eunuch through and through.

Bang Geng is an ungrateful brat, and Jia Zhangshi is selfish and self-serving...

But no matter how much you scheme, don't scheme against me.

Or you'll cough it all up, principal and interest. A beating would be the least of your worries. I'll torment you both physically and mentally...

Cooking is my job. Beating people up is my specialty!
