Synopsis

[Scheming + Weak System + Strong Logic + Smart Characters + Low Aggression]

(This book has plenty of chapters in reserve, so you can start reading with confidence.)

A Beijing courtyard in 1958 was supposed to be where He Yuzhu's life of torment began, ending with him dying destitute beneath a bridge.

But no one could have guessed that when he drew his last breath beneath that bridge, he wouldn't get a chance to be reborn. Instead, a soul from the 21st century somehow found its way into the young chef's body.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yi Zhonghai scheming to make He support him in his old age under the banner of “morality”; Jia Zhangshi, the self-proclaimed spirit medium, wailing and crying “What a sin!” at every turn; Qin Huairu waiting to take advantage of him; and Xu Damao, a petty villain always up to no good...

He's a transmigrator who understands people and the ways of the world, and is even better at using logic to get out of a bind. He never uses hostility to solve problems.

His cunning is cloaked in warmth, and his intelligence shines through in the details.

He quietly sees through Yi Zhonghai's “retirement scheme.”

He leaves Jia Zhangshi speechless when she puts on her “spirit-summoning act.”

He turns Xu Damao's “dirty tricks” back on him, leaving him to suffer and complain.

There's no cheat-powered rush, just a steady, long-running game of wits.

There's no earth-shattering conflict, just the everyday warmth of life in an old Beijing courtyard.

At an unhurried pace, watch how the transmigrator He Yuzhu uses his brains to outsmart the worst of the bunch, refuses to be anyone's fool, and makes an ordinary life steady and serene.

I'd like something like "The Courtyard Compound: Silly Zhu Gets Married and Gets Beaten Every Day". I've been reading for twenty years and have already vetted this one, so it's safe to try. If you know any good courtyard-compound novels, please recommend them. What makes a good book? In my opinion, one that keeps you hooked and makes you want to keep reading, one that...
