A man is what his name suggests? No! In the Hongxing Courtyard, Gou Dasheng shatters everyone's expectations.
He looks simple and honest, but in truth he's perceptive and ruthless. His predecessor was weak-willed and spent years being exploited in turn by the courtyard's worst residents, until he met a tragic end.
After transmigrating, he awakens the Max-Level Punishment System and begins his path to a comeback.
The neighbors in the courtyard all have their own schemes, each bent on squeezing him for everything he's worth. Little do they know that every plot they hatch is just digging a pit for themselves.
The shameless and overbearing Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, who plays up her misery to win sympathy, the three crafty courtyard elders, and even the clueless Sha Zhu: he takes them all down one by one.
No handouts, no soft heart, no indulgence. Whoever comes, he deals with them.
Thanks to the rewards he keeps earning, Gou Dasheng has plentiful supplies and a thriving career. He not only establishes himself in the courtyard, but also rises smoothly through the factory ranks.
Keep a low profile and stay safe; when he strikes, he always wins! Watch him fleece the whole courtyard, forge ahead through the 1960s, and reach the pinnacle of life!
