Reborn in the Siheyuan: Don't Call Me a Jerk

[Mildly abrasive, slice of life, not a saint]

Liu Nong, a workplace slacker, transmigrates into a courtyard after a romantic encounter and gets bound to a wicked System.

The more wicked things he does, the better the rewards!

At a courtyard meeting:

Liu Nong: “First, some bad news: I’m moving out tomorrow.”

Everyone cries tears of joy. “Liu Nong, we can’t bear to see you go!” They rush to help him pack.

Liu Nong waves them off. “Hold on, not yet.”

Liu Nong: “Here’s another piece of bad news: I won’t be deputy factory director tomorrow.”

Everyone celebrates!

Liu Nong: “Now for some good news: I’ll come back to visit you often. No, I mean I’ll come back to collect rent.”

Everyone collapses in shock.

Liu Nong: “And here’s another bit of good news: I’m going to be factory director.”

Everyone: “Please, just act like a decent human being!”
