Siheyuan: From Silly Zhu to Director He, I Rise Through the Ranks

After transmigrating as Silly Zhu in Love in the Courtyard, He Yuzhu looks at his 25-year-old reflection in the mirror, then at the pretty widow next door whose husband just died. Yi Zhonghai lectures him about morality. He turns right around and swings that moral cudgel back at him. Qin Huairu wants to suck him dry. He smiles and swaps the lunchbox for cold wind. Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum and rolls around on the ground? Sorry, he knows exactly how to deal with people who refuse to listen. The Third Uncle tries to outsmart him? He shows the Third Uncle what it means to go hungry when your schemes fall through. The sign-in System delivers meat and grain every day. His spirit-spring space has ten mu of fertile black soil, and his cooking skills are downright divine. His life is going great, and everyone in the courtyard is green with envy. Yi Zhonghai is beside himself with worry. Why isn't Zhu a fool anymore? If he isn't a fool, who am I supposed to rely on in my old age? Qin Huairu bites her lip as she watches the increasingly vigorous man, feeling a rare flicker of panic. He Yuzhu toys with two Cuban candies in his hand and grins at the courtyard residents, each nursing their own agenda. Moral blackmail? Emotional manipulation? None of it works on him. He'll eat anything except a loss. This novel and its characters are purely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
