Siheyuan: A Sharp Tongue Awakens, Harvests Emotions, and Crushes the Scoundrels

From the start, he awakens in the "Happiness Lane" courtyard of Love in the Courtyard, just after Jia Dongxu has died and Qin Huairu is wailing in grief.

He Yuze looks at the "villains" morally blackmailing Silly Zhu, and his anger boils over!

Ding! The Emotion Harvester has awakened! A massive influx of negative emotions detected. Physical fitness slightly increased, mental strength improved! You gained 100 Emotion Points!

Seeing a flash of cunning in Qin Huairu's eyes, He Yuze sneers. "Qin Huairu, quit crying. Anyone can put on an act. Are those tears for Jia Dongxu, or for your future meal ticket?"

[Successfully angered Qin Huairu. Physical fitness +0.001, mental strength +0.0005, Emotion Points +50!]

When Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum and rolls around on the floor, He Yuze lets his sharp tongue fly. "You old hag, are your daughter-in-law's tears made of gold? Was your son's life granted by the emperor? What does anyone in this courtyard owe your Jia family?!"

[Successfully angered Jia Zhangshi. Physical fitness +0.002, mental strength +0.001, Emotion Points +80!]

From then on, He Yuze stops holding back! He discovers that every time he angers someone, his body grows stronger and his mind sharper! He can even see through the [deep-seated anxiety] and [hidden secret] beneath Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical mask!

"First Master, why does your 'fairness' scale always tip toward the Jia family? Is it guilt, or do you owe them something?"

[Successfully harvested Yi Zhonghai's anger at being exposed. Emotion Points +200! Unlocked the 'Emotional Feedback' ability: your words now carry mental pressure!]

Only then does he discover that buried deep within this courtyard is a "collective" lie that has lasted for decades!
