Tang Xiu transmigrates into a Siheyuan, and from the start, he's thrown into a “showdown.” Banggeng steals a chicken and frames him for it.
Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum and rolls on the ground, demanding compensation. The sanctimonious Qin Huairu tells him to be the bigger person.
Yi Zhonghai, the First Master, takes sides, while every beast in the courtyard hopes to grab a share.
At this critical moment, the [Heavenly Secrets Gossip System] activates!
[Ding! Qin Huairu is scheming to get you to give Bangzi flour. The First Master has already picked you as his backup retirement plan. Xu Damao's secret stash is hidden under the chicken coop...]
Looking at the hypocritical faces before him, Tang Xiu smiles.
Want to suck me dry? Then you'll pay with your dirty secrets!
Jia Zhangshi curses me? I'll make sure her retirement savings go up in smoke!
Silly Zhu stands up for Qin Huairu? I'll make sure he can't hold on to his head-chef job at the cafeteria!
Xu Damao is having an affair? One anonymous letter will ruin his reputation!
He only wanted to quietly make his fortune, but the courtyard's beasts keep asking for trouble.
Fine, then. Don't blame me for using your scandals as stepping stones to climb higher and higher!
Tang Xiu goes from having nothing to eat meat at every meal in just three months!
Years later, the three masters still try to throw their weight around, using “the rules” to control Tang Xiu, now a powerful leader.
Tang Xiu sets down his teacup, looks down on them, and laughs aloud:
“Gentlemen, don't talk to me about rules!
Do you have any idea how many years in prison your dirty deeds could earn you?”
Repeatedly pulling and pulling, it's all nonsense, the thunder is loud but the raindrops are small
