Siheyuan: Getting Stronger Every Time I'm Fooled, I'm Losing It

He unexpectedly returns to an earlier era and becomes an ordinary resident in a courtyard house on Nanluoguxiang.

He Qiming is in his early twenties, steady by nature, sharp-tongued but principled. He seems willing to take advice, but in truth, he is observant and good at planning ahead.

As he faces schemes from his neighbors, moral coercion, and one “well-intentioned” con after another, he awakens the Truth-Telling Makes You Stronger System.

Whenever someone tries to fool him with lies, tricks, or moral pressure, the System automatically determines their true intentions. Depending on the outcome, it rewards him with skills, supplies, ration coupons, or special abilities.

He Qiming never goes looking for trouble, but he never lets anyone push him around, either. The more others try to take advantage of him, the more he grows from it.
