Siheyuan: Huairu, Don't Turn Around. It's Me, Silly Zhu

He transmigrated into the world of The Courtyard of Birds, becoming Huang Chen, an outcast resident who awakened the Slacker System.

From the start, all the beasts in the courtyard ostracized him. His fiancée, Qin Huairu, broke off their engagement after Yi Zhonghai arranged for her to marry his apprentice, Jia Dongxu.

The Second Master, the Third Master, Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu all wanted to drive Huang Chen out and take over his home.

He had nothing to his name and was dirt poor. On top of that, he had to deal with Xu Damao, full of wicked schemes; the bloodsucking Qin Huairu; the ungrateful Bai Geng; the self-righteous First Master; the doting Second Master; the calculating Third Master; and He Yuzhu, the tyrant of the steel mill...

None of that had anything to do with me. I, Huang, just wanted to live a simple life: slack off during the day and collect rewards, then watch people knock on widows' doors at night. Whoever messed with me, I'd ruin them.

After Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu's life kept getting worse, and eventually she set her sights on Huang Chen.

Qin Huairu: "Huang Chen, I made plans to meet Silly Zhu in the cellar tonight. If Silly Zhu doesn't go, I'll definitely go..."

Huang Chen: "Huairu, don't turn around. I'm Silly Zhu..."

Qin Huairu: "Huang Chen, about last night... Could you lend me just a tiny bit of money?"

Huang Chen: "Weren't you meeting Silly Zhu last night?"
