Synopsis

He Zhipeng, a minor government office clerk in the modern era, has spent his whole life being cautious and conscientious. For years, his section chief has ordered him around at will, and he has lived timidly, swallowing his grievances. He thought he would spend his whole life putting up with it, but a cancer diagnosis shattered all his restraint.

Knowing he didn’t have long to live, He Zhipeng finally cast off his shackles. He stopped trying to please everyone, openly stood up to his section chief, and bluntly rebuked his division director. Unexpectedly, those who had once held themselves above him began to fear him and accommodate him at every turn. Only then did he realize how spineless he had been, wasting half his life suffering in silence.

Before he could properly enjoy his newfound freedom, He Zhipeng unexpectedly transmigrated into the period drama Love in the Courtyard, becoming Silly Zhu, also known as He Yuzhu, whose hard life had left him at the mercy of people scheming against him.

Knowing how the plot unfolds, he sees through the selfish schemes of everyone in the courtyard, Qin Huairu’s constant demands, the Third Uncle’s ulterior motives, and his sworn enemy Xu Damao’s treachery.

Since he has been given a second life and now occupies Silly Zhu’s body, he refuses to repeat the original owner’s miserable path. He has top-notch cooking skills, understands how to deal with people, and knows the warmth and coldness of human nature. From now on, he won’t be a pushover or let others manipulate him. He’ll put troublesome people in their place, foil their schemes, and take on Xu Damao, safeguarding his good fortune and money. In the bustling courtyard, he’ll live with clarity and freedom, enjoying a carefree life to the fullest.
