You Asked Me to Write a Period Drama, and I Wrote a Siheyuan Story?

Su Bai opens his eyes and discovers that he has transmigrated, right into a writing competition. Contestants have to write a script based on a given prompt. When the production team announces the theme: The Times, everyone racks their brains to write about fiery years and hard work... Su Bai decides to take a different approach and give the audience a story about the era unlike any other. “Love in the Courtyard” At first, the audience thinks it's a heartwarming story about the residents of a courtyard... But the more they watch, the stranger it seems... “Yi Zhonghai, the Venerable of Virtue.” “Qin Huairu, the bloodsucking white lotus.” “Silly Zhu, the courtyard's battle god.” “Xu Damao, a true villain.” The theme of the second round: Entrepreneurship. Su Bai pulls out The Knockout on the spot! “Wait, you call this entrepreneurship?” “This is beyond ridiculous. Is this the story of an angler's rise to the top?” The theme of the third round: Forests. Su Bai pulls out The Three-Body Problem on the spot! “Dude, we asked you to write about forests. How are we supposed to compete if you write The Three-Body Problem?” “Isn't the Dark Forest still a forest? Just tell me whether it fits the theme.”
