Siheyuan: Reforming the Courtyard with the Character-Breakdown System

Shen Zhifan, a psychologist, transmigrates to the 1960s, moves into a Beijing courtyard house, and awakens the Persona Collapse System.

A two-sided mirror hangs above everyone's head: their persona is the face they show the world, while their true self lies beneath. The higher their falsehood score, the harder they get hit.

The widow Su Qiaoyun has a falsehood score of 87. Is she virtuous in public but scheming in private?

Ding! A white collapse is triggered. She suffers a public humiliation.

The respected elder Zhou Dehou has a falsehood score of 76. Is he actually the most devious person in the whole courtyard?

Ding! A red collapse is triggered. The courtyard meeting falls apart on the spot.

Each person she exposes raises her own falsehood score by five points. If it exceeds sixty, the System shuts down permanently.

She has to use it carefully, choosing the right target and striking where it counts.

Everyone in the courtyard wears a mask, and she is the one who tears them off.

Until she discovers that she is in the mirror, too.
