He Yuzhu got a second chance at life and opened his eyes on the very day his father, He Daqing, abandoned his family and ran off! In his previous life, he was guilt-tripped into doing everything for others and drained dry by the greedy neighbors in the courtyard. He trusted Yi Zhonghai, let Lou Xiao'e down, and caused his younger sister to die full of resentment. In the end, he died alone and miserable, becoming the biggest sucker in the whole courtyard!

This time, he has finally woken up. He throws off the "Silly Zhu" label and refuses to make the same mistakes again! Jia Dongxu comes to sweet-talk him, Yi Zhonghai offers false concern, Jia Zhangshi sneaks in to steal from his home, and the courtyard's greedy neighbors wait to laugh at him, hoping to keep treating him and his sister like easy prey. Will they really get to push them around again?

He Yuzhu goes straight to the authorities, tears away the courtyard's hypocritical facade, exposes the real culprit who stole his family's property, and leaves Yi Zhonghai speechless. He even makes Jia Zhangshi kneel and beg for mercy! He protects his sister, holds on to his godlike cooking skills, and stays clear of Qin Huairu's schemes. He refuses to be anyone's retirement plan or to fall for moral blackmail, and carefully builds his wealth and career step by step.

He makes up for every regret from his past life, settles scores with every rotten neighbor in this one, and uses his extraordinary cooking skills to change his fate. He leaves the courtyard to carve out a new world for himself, becoming the envy of everyone. The satisfaction is off the charts!
