Synopsis

The rating just came in, so don't worry, it'll rise [Siheyuan] [Comedy] [System] [One Female Lead] [Takes Down the Whole Courtyard]

Lin Xiao transmigrates and binds himself to the [Gossip Exchange System].

The villagers see him as a menace. They pool their money to send the jinx away, selling their pots and pans to get him a job at a steel mill in the capital.

He couldn't be happier: what could be better than heading to the city to lie flat and enjoy the gossip?

The happier the villagers are to see him go, the more they'll regret it later. The menace they paid to get rid of today is the most outrageous big shot they'll ever send packing.

Once he moves into the Siheyuan, he has even more fun.

Yi Zhonghai tries to pull a stunt? Lin Xiao calls him out on the spot and crushes him. Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum? “Honey, you're up.” Xu Damao tries to sabotage him? Lin Xiao turns the tables and gives him a taste of his own medicine.

The whole courtyard is thrown into chaos, while Lin Xiao gets promoted to neighborhood security chief. He sits on the doorstep cracking melon seeds as his fun points shoot up.

Even more incredibly, the village girl follows him to the city and blocks the entrance to the courtyard. “Brother Lin Xiao, I brought proof of our common-law marriage. Let's register!”

Don't ask. He's just lying flat and enjoying the gossip, making plans for the long term, and living more comfortably than anyone else in the courtyard.
