Siheyuan: Watching the Drama, Never Getting Caught Up in Trouble

Chen Xu transmigrates into the world of the courtyard-house compound. From the start, he has nothing: a rural household registration, not enough food, and hardly any ration coupons. Fortunately, he awakens a portable space.

Looking at the motley bunch in the courtyard: the hypocritical First Master, the parasitic Qin Huairu, the unscrupulous Jia Zhangshi, the clueless Silly Zhu, and the calculating Third Master.

Having watched the whole show in his previous life, he knows that getting involved with these people means endless trouble.

Chen Xu sets a rule for himself: don't get involved in disputes, don't help anyone out, and just keep a low profile.

But the troublemakers in the courtyard keep scheming to drag him into their messes, guilt-trip him, and bleed him dry of his supplies.

Since you insist on coming after me, don't blame me for turning your own tactics against you!

I'll just sit back and watch without taking sides, let you keep fighting among yourselves, and reap the benefits while I enjoy a comfortable, prosperous life in this era!
