The Siheyuan's First Master Has an Heir at Last

In the beastly courtyard, First Master Yi Zhonghai has found an heir, leaving the other courtyard vermin dumbfounded.

The protagonist uses his wits to dismantle the courtyard's parasitic ecosystem.

This is an upgrade to the courtyard survival strategy, and an awakening of personal agency.

The courtyard remains shrouded in gloom. Yi Zhonghai-style moral blackmail takes countless forms, squeezing the blood and sweat from the neighbors. Everyone swallows their anger, assuming that this is simply how the courtyard works.

Until Yi Zhonghe arrives out of nowhere. This young man refuses to play by the rules: he shuts down the moral blackmailers and rallies those who have long endured in silence, dragging each parasite in the chain into the light. When the traitors are driven away, the courtyard's elders return the stolen supplies with tears in their eyes, while the young people slap their thighs and laugh: So we don't have to put up with this humiliation after all!

One battle of wits shatters the old parasitic network and awakens sleeping souls. Life in the courtyard goes from mere survival to living with your head held high.
