Siheyuan: Who Says a Villain Can't Be the Main Character?

A livestreamer sneaks into the Forbidden City at night and encounters the supernatural. In an instant, he transmigrates into the "true villain" Xu Damao from a courtyard house!

From the start, his smart mouth gets him kicked into the hospital by his nemesis, He Yuzhu, turning his wedding into a "great tragedy."

But so what?

Xu Damao holds an unbeatable script: a spotless background as the third generation of poor peasants, a father who is a veteran projectionist at a steel mill, and a wife with a powerful family behind her. He is also silver-tongued and adept at getting along with everyone, reigning supreme in the dating scene of the 1960s and easily winning over Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang, and others.

The courtyard is packed with "characters": Old Lady Deaf throws her weight around, He Yuzhu bullies the weak, Jia Zhangshi is mean, lazy, and greedy, Qin Huairu is deeply calculating, and Yi Zhonghai puts on a show of moral superiority... But Xu Damao is determined to use his "true villain" methods to turn their absurd antics into "assist plays" and write his own comeback legend. Watch him restart his life from the hospital and play the strong hand fate dealt him to perfection, showing everyone that Xu Damao is the one true destined male lead of this courtyard!
