Siheyuan: I Live Off Others, What's It to You?

He transmigrates into the world of a Beijing courtyard compound in 1952.

He steals Qin Huairu away from someone else, making her go out to work.

He becomes the courtyard's genuine parasite, living off his wife.

Yet Gu Yuan always comes home from his daily strolls with fish, shrimp, and wild game.

His life keeps getting better, making everyone else increasingly jealous.

Yi Zhonghai: "Gu Yuan, how about I, your First Uncle, find you a job?"

Liu Haizhong: "How long are you going to laze around at home, you brat?"

The Deaf Old Lady: "You make your wife go to work while you stay home. Does that make any sense?"

Jia Zhangshi: "Hmph, I really don't know what Qin Huairu sees in you. Pah!"

Xu Damao: "I'm no worse than Gu Yuan. Why is Qin Huairu so devoted to him?"

Silly Zhu: "Gu Yuan, how long are you planning to live off your wife?"

Facing the whole courtyard's condemnation,

Gu Yuan eats spicy crayfish. "Whether I live off my wife is none of your damn business."
