Chen Ke, a modern man, incurs karmic consequences after taking a hundred yuan from a temple donation box.
His soul transmigrates to a Beijing courtyard home in 1959.
The original owner had no parents and lived in a shabby shack in Courtyard No. 95, where the Jia family repeatedly drained him until he was utterly spent.
When Chen Ke opens his eyes, he binds to the World-Watching System!
Having stolen offerings and committed a sin, he has only thirty days left to live.
To survive, he must observe the five poisons of all living beings, deliver the world from its eight sufferings, and accumulate merit to extend his life.
The System's ironclad rule: indulging evildoers costs merit. Starting trouble on purpose only increases one's own sins!
Just after he wakes, Qin Huairu comes to his door with a huge bowl, asking to borrow grain.
Chen Ke stands his ground and refuses outright.
No groveling, no playing the saint.
His body is not strong enough, so he uses the rules of the times and plays on people's hearts, tearing away the hypocritical masks one by one in the courtyard.
He takes on the Jia family, stands up to Yi Zhonghai's moral blackmail, and deals with neighbors like Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.
As he handles the first troubles in the courtyard, he also builds his standing at the steel mill, accumulating connections and strength.
In an era of scarce supplies, he resolves the karma of others while seeking peace for himself.
Interesting and good-looking
Can anyone explain the plot? I know all the words, but when they are put together, I don't know what they mean. I can't understand them.
