Siheyuan: A Top Chef from the Start, and the Courtyard's Fools Are in Tears

He Yuzhu transmigrates into another world and awakens the heaven-defying, fate-changing System. Changing fate makes him stronger.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai encourages He Daqing to abandon his children and elope with the White Widow.

He Yuzhu storms straight to their door, beats He Daqing to a pulp, and takes all his money.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have changed fate against the heavens. Progress: 1%. You have acquired mastery of Sichuan cuisine.]

He Yuzhu’s cooking skills improve dramatically. After graduating from Fengzeyuan, he lands a job at the steel mill.

Just as Jia Dongxu is on a blind date with Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu swoops in and steals her away.

Qin Huairu falls for him at once under He Yuzhu’s sweet talk. The widow who ruined He Yuzhu in his previous life becomes his most devoted wife in this one.

[Ding! You stole Qin Huairu away and changed fate against the heavens. Progress: 5%. You have acquired a thirty-mu Spirit Spring Space with accelerated time.]

The schemers in the courtyard try to guilt-trip He Yuzhu into doing what they want, only to get a face-slapping in return and suffer terrible consequences.

As He Yuzhu changes fate against the heavens again and again, he rises from a lowly cook to a regular guest in the homes of powerful figures.
