Siheyuan: I Just Wanted to Watch the Show, but They Insisted I Become the Patriarch

A Cheat’s Overwhelming Advantage as a Bystander in the Siheyuan He uses his island space as a refrigerator, his tiger-like strength to work out, and his mental powers to scan the place like a security camera. While others fight tooth and nail over ration coupons for grain and meat, he has all the pork head meat he could want in his space. While others scheme over retirement lawsuits, he gets Second Uncle to sell out First Uncle in three sentences. While others cry and beg for food in the courtyard, he sits by the wall, munching on an orange and enjoying the show. Jia Zhangshi calls him a “worthless bastard,” so he retaliates by releasing a mosquito that makes her scratch until her legs give out. Yi Zhonghai wants the whole courtyard to bleed the Jia family dry, but a few words from him make Second Uncle switch sides on the spot. Qin Huairu cries so hard her cheeks are streaked with tears, but he doesn’t even bat an eyelid. While the whole courtyard’s scum fight to the death, he sits in a corner with his tea mug, four words hanging from the corners of his mouth: “None of my damn business.” Only when someone sets their sights on him does he slowly lift his eyelids. “You’re the ones who insisted on provoking me.” This isn’t a traditional Siheyuan story. It’s the paid pastime of a cheat who transmigrated into the world and now gets to sit back and watch. Sharp-tongued, cold-hearted, and even more ruthless. If you don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with you. But if you do, you won’t even know how you died. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
