[Courtyard house + System + everyday life + putting the scoundrels in their place]
Chen Beixuan opens his eyes and realizes he's transmigrated into Love in the Courtyard.
No, to be precise, it's “Scoundrels in the Courtyard,” that maddening melodrama that sent countless viewers' blood pressure through the roof.
On his very first night, Banggeng climbs through the window to steal things, muttering, “This barren bastard's house stinks.”
Yi Zhonghai comes to smooth things over: “The kid's still young. Let it go.”
Qin Huairu starts playing the victim: “Banggeng's father died young. I'm raising three children all by myself…”
Everyone expects him to say, just like Silly Zhu, “Fine.”
Chen Beixuan smiles and says three words:
“Report him to the neighborhood office.”
The whole courtyard falls silent.
[Anti-manipulation System] binding in progress…Intent radar activated. Yi Zhonghai (guilt-tripping type, threat level 82). Qin Huairu (playing-the-victim type, threat level 78). Xu Damao (self-interest type, threat level 71).
System prompt: You are advised not to become the next Silly Zhu.
Chen Beixuan: Understood.
Starting today, it's time to change the rules in this courtyard.
