Siheyuan: Everyone Suffers Social Death from the Start

After his soul transmigrates into a 1960s courtyard house, Li Cheng only wants to be a nobody, drinking tea, watching the drama, and enjoying a peaceful life.

Who knew that from the start, Jia Zhangshi would block his door and wail, "Cheng, why don't you give your house to my grandson...?"

Li Cheng furrowed his brow, sensing something was off.

[Why hasn't that little bastard died yet? Once he's dead, the house will belong to my eldest grandson!]

Jia Zhangshi's vicious inner rant exploded clearly in Li Cheng's mind.

The next second, in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi's mouth started howling against her will: "...Why hasn't that little brat kicked the bucket yet? Once he's dead, the house will belong to my eldest grandson!"

The whole courtyard fell silent.

Qin Huairu tried to smooth things over. "Cheng, Auntie didn't mean it like that..."

[That old hag just said what she really thinks! There's something downright creepy about Li Cheng today!]

Li Cheng stroked his chin, smiling amiably. "Oh? Then what did she mean? Why don't you explain it carefully too?"

From then on, life in the courtyard took a sharp turn:

Silly Zhu stamped his feet. "I'm the most loyal and righteous guy around!"

[Inner thoughts: Sister Qin said she'd let me feel her hands a little more if I stood up for her!]

Xu Damao tried to provoke him. "Li Cheng, don't be ungrateful!"

[Inner thoughts: If I get rid of you, Lou Xiao'e won't be able to help you out anymore!]

The First Grandpa lamented, "Li Cheng! You've disappointed me so much!"

[Inner thoughts: If I don't get rid of this kid, my whole retirement plan will go down the drain!]

Li Cheng: "Everyone, quit acting. Your BGM (true thoughts) is way too loud! Who's next? Want to try the 'public humiliation package'?"

The courtyard's pack of schemers trembled in fear: Run! Li Cheng's mouth must be blessed!
