Siheyuan: The Beasts Bow Their Heads as I Command the Spirit of the Age

College student Zhou Yilin wakes up as a background character with the same name in Love in the Courtyard. A hell-mode start? No problem! He binds to the Era Empathy System. As long as he accurately understands what people need emotionally, he can earn generous rewards! From then on, his cooking skills amaze all of the capital, while he knows exactly how to get the better of every conniving neighbor.

Why have more than a dozen women of the era, each with her own charm, fallen for him, from a capitalist's precious daughter to a talented woman returning from abroad and a simple village beauty?

When the storm of the era arrives, Zhou Yilin has already woven an invisible web with his empathy. Standing at the crest of the waves, he watches the shifting winds and clouds with a smile. Lu Lingxue nestles in his arms, her eyes sparkling. "My Lord Chef, are you a romantic genius, or the one moving the pieces?"

Zhou Yilin gently strokes her hair, his gaze profound.

"I'm just... a transmigrator who understands people's hearts better than anyone. This courtyard, this era: I'm the one moving the pieces!"
