Siheyuan: The Whole Courtyard Is Waiting for Me to Die? Well, I Won't

Siheyuan | Lie Flat | System-driven | Wild imagination | Feel-good power fantasy | Face-slapping | Winning over the whole cast | Business empire | Lighthearted

Jia Dongxu wakes up to find himself in Love in the Courtyard, as the short-lived man who suffers a fatal workplace injury in the very first episode.

Outside the door, his mother, Jia Zhangshi, is settling accounts with his wife: "Once Dongxu breathes his last, the two of us will split the compensation money."

In the courtyard, Xu Damao has opened a betting pool: "Bet that Jia Dongxu won't last a month. Three to one odds!"

More than twenty households in the courtyard are waiting for him to die. Only the deaf old lady isn't.

Fortunately, his Lie Flat to Get Stronger System activates. He can earn sign-in rewards just by lying down, and his weakened state comes with a "last words critical hit": whatever he says, people believe.

Jia Dongxu makes up his mind: keep lying down.

He lies down until Silly Zhu brings him tea and asks to become his disciple, until Qin Huairu achieves financial independence, until Xu Damao kneels and slaps himself, and until Yi Zhonghai voluntarily hands over the keys to the whole courtyard.

He lies down like this for the rest of his life.
