Love in the Courtyard: I'm Silly Zhu

A thirty-year-old unmarried loser transmigrates into the body of Silly Zhu, a chef in a Beijing courtyard house in old Beijing, in the year before the political movement begins.

The protagonist's nickname is Silly Zhu. I'm a loser who graduated from a lousy third-rate university in the twenty-first century and never made anything of himself. Then, in my sleep, my soul suddenly transmigrated, leaving my past life behind!

I arrive in old Beijing in the 1950s or 60s, in the world of the TV drama Love in the Courtyard, and become a chef in the main cafeteria of an old Beijing steel mill.

In my previous life, I watched Love in the Courtyard, starring He Bing. Honestly, it was so depressing and frustrating. I felt so sorry for Silly Zhu! Qin Huairu played him for a fool, and he suffered terribly!

Chefs were highly sought after in those days. He had a special skill in cooking, and as a chef in the steel mill's main cafeteria, he had a steady job for life! In the end, he nearly got conned into becoming an old bachelor with no family. I felt so sorry for him!

I really hate Qin Huairu. If you wanted Silly Zhu to look after you...
