Siheyuan: He Yuzhu Is Reborn and Won’t Be a Sucker This Time

[Reborn and clear-eyed + self-interest + no forgiveness, no turning back + a little edge + everyday life + no do-gooder heroine + one female lead]

He Yuzhu is reborn.

In his previous life, the Jia family squeezed every last bit of usefulness out of him, and Qin Huairu left him to die beneath a bridge.

Given another chance at life, he won't be a complete sucker, chasing after Qin Huairu.

He's going to live life on his own terms!

Qin Huairu complains that he went back on his word, promising to take care of them for life but failing to do so.

He Yuzhu: “Marry me, and I'll take care of you.”

Jia Zhangshi calls him selfish for refusing to spend his money on them.

He Yuzhu: “If you don't look out for yourself, heaven and earth will strike you down.”

Yi Zhonghai wants him to provide for his old age?

He Yuzhu: “No problem. Pay for me to get a wife first!”

That whole pack of bloodsuckers wants to cling to him and drain him dry? Dream on!

Anyone who's good to him gets twice as much in return.

Anyone who tries to use him will regret it.

In this life, he'll focus on making his own way, earning money, caring for his little sister, and marrying and having children.

Anyone looking to mooch off him can stay away!

One day, He Yuzhu walks in with his wife and child in his arms. Qin Huairu rushes over and clings to his leg, crying pitifully: “Zhuzi, I've changed my mind. I'll marry you. Why don't you divorce her and marry me?”
