Siheyuan: Reborn as Silly Zhu, with Heaven-Defying Comprehension

The protagonist transmigrates into the role of He Yuzhu in Love in the Courtyard, and the moment he opens his eyes, he finds he's become the unluckiest sucker in the whole compound.

His father has run off, his little sister is only five, the family is so poor they can barely afford food, and the courtyard is full of neighbors who'd eat him alive: the hypocrite Yi Zhonghai, the greedy Jia Zhangshi, and the ungrateful Bang Geng.

But the protagonist isn't worried, because he has a golden finger: a System that lets him build proficiency! Earn points for chopping vegetables, cooking, and tossing food in the wok. As long as he gets to work, his culinary skills improve.

He heads straight to Hongbin Restaurant to apprentice, working his way up from trainee to head chef and winning over the whole city with his signature Sichuan cuisine.

The people in the courtyard try to scheme against him? He sneers and moves out, leaving Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi staring helplessly.

He makes money with his cooking to support the family while grinding experience with the System, turning his life into a resounding success and helping his sister, He Yushui, grow into a capable young woman.
