Siheyuan: Qin Huairu Chose Silly Zhu and Regretted It to Her Core

Chen Xingming transmigrates into the body of a temporary neighborhood office worker. His predecessor had his eye on Ran Qiuyue and asked his maternal uncle, Yan Bugui, to introduce them.

Yan Bugui refuses, and instead introduces him to the widow Qin Huairu. Chen Xingming is instantly smitten with her.

To win Qin Huairu's favor, he racks up a mountain of debt and even buys a house.

But Qin Huairu looks down on Chen Xingming, who earns just over twenty yuan a month doing odd jobs at the neighborhood office. She chooses Silly Zhu instead, a cafeteria chef who makes thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month.

After transmigrating, Chen Xingming uses his own abilities to feast on the finest food every day.

Jia Zhangshi: "Silly Zhu, you promised us a happy life. Other people eat meat every day, but you can't even afford a meal with meat, so what kind of chef are you? They bought a bicycle, and you can't even afford a wheel. Their house looks so beautifully renovated, and you even sold yours."

To defend his pride as a man, Silly Zhu brings home meals every day, and even steals things to resell. In the end, he lands in prison.

Watching Chen Xingming become a factory director and enjoy an ever-better life, Qin Huairu spends her days consumed by regret, while Jia Zhangshi gives her a hard time every day.
