The Beast-Filled Siheyuan: As a Scheming Villain, I Keep the Whole Courtyard in Check

Reborn in a Siheyuan crawling with beasts, Lin Tian discovers that he is not only a sickly boy neglected by both his parents, but also the target of schemes by the Deaf Old Lady, the Third Master, and a whole pack of “beasts.” Faced with Silly Zhu’s “saintly kindness,” Qin Huairu’s “bloodsucking schemes,” Jia Zhangshi’s tantrums, and the Deaf Old Lady’s secret identity as a spy, he activates the [Villain System] and sets out on a cunning path to turn his life around.

He uses fake silver dollars to swindle the money-grubbing Third Master, turns the “poisoned shredded potatoes” against the Deaf Old Lady, schemes to foil Qin Huairu’s “borrowing food” ploy, and repeatedly disrupts Silly Zhu’s matchmaking arrangements, leaving the courtyard beasts to stumble into one disaster after another and make fools of themselves. From using croton powder to ruin Jia Zhangshi’s day to winning Yi Zhonghai over and keeping the career-obsessed Second Master in line, Lin Tian plans every move carefully and puts his own spin on all the classic scenes: warnings by the cesspit, catching people red-handed, and villains turning on one another...

In this Siheyuan full of schemes and infighting, he is no longer a pushover for everyone to manipulate. Instead, he takes control and gives the beasts a taste of their own medicine. He mocks and berates every beast in the courtyard, collects Villain Points, and exchanges them for incredible skills like hand-to-hand combat and investigation. In the end, the sickly boy everyone used to bully transforms into a villainous big shot who terrifies every beast in the Siheyuan, carving out his own path to a comeback and dominating Hong Kong.
