Reborn in the Siheyuan Courtyard

A devoted male lead is reborn to take revenge, love truly, punish scoundrels, and play the pig to eat the tiger. No System, no fantasy: just clever schemes, light comedy, and banter on his path from a pushover to a rising star who defies fate.

In an old courtyard in the early 1980s, he was honest and hardworking in his previous life, yet his family schemed against him and he died unjustly. In this life, he returns with his memories, looking simple-minded on the outside but clear-headed within.

The nine households scheme against one another. His uncle is greedy, his cousin tries to seize power, and the neighbors kick him when he's down. Isolated and helpless, he has already been laying his plans in secret.

He unexpectedly gains a golden finger that lets him pinpoint people's weaknesses and predict his opponents' every move.

He can gather other people's secrets and use them against them without a trace, turning their own schemes against them and making his enemies suffer the consequences of their actions.

While others are still fighting over a hot meal, he already controls the fate of the whole courtyard. Those who once bullied him now bow their heads and beg for mercy.

Starting in the courtyard, he will build a business, stage an extraordinary comeback, overturn every injustice, and become a legendary figure at the forefront of his era.
