Siheyuan: Why Are All My Skills So Sinister?

He arrives in the world of a 1950s courtyard-house compound as a notorious street punk.

And, as if that weren't enough, his girlfriend, Qin Huairu, is only eighteen.

Jia Dongxu, still single, can't help drooling over her.

Just as Qin Huairu's parents arrange a blind date for her with Jia Dongxu,

he joins the Public Security Squad and binds himself to the Eye of Evil System.

But what kind of twisted skills does this System even have?

Pickpocket: Anything in someone else's pocket is as easy to take as if it were in your own.

King of Gambling: You can see through every trick at the table.

Lock King: There's no lock you can't pick.

In an era when nobody has enough to eat,

he finds success in both love and work, with no need to worry about supplies.

Every night, all kinds of delicious aromas fill the air.

Before long, the whole compound is driven to the verge of collapse.

Coworkers: "Thank goodness this menace joined the Public Security Squad, or society would be in chaos."

The courtyard's busybodies: "How did that street punk end up living the good life?"
