In 1951, a modern young man woke up in the world of a TV drama and found his modern soul had transmigrated into Silly Zhu, a character in Love in the Courtyard. He had become Silly Zhu, a man destined to be a sucker all his life, exploited and manipulated by everyone in the courtyard.
Bound to the Strongest Chef System, He Yuzhu looked at the bunch of ingrates filling the courtyard and smiled. This time, he wasn't serving them.
In his past life, Silly Zhu was manipulated by Yi Zhonghai into supporting him in old age, endlessly exploited by Qin Huairu's family, and schemed against and used by the courtyard's petty people. His life ended in misery, with his family scattered.
He cuts off the Jia family's parasitic relationship, stands firm against the whole neighborhood's moral blackmail, tears away the hypocritical masks of the courtyard's ingrates in front of everyone, and puts aside the tragic romance of the original story.
Taking advantage of the information gap that comes with being a transmigrator, he improves the canteen, caters private banquets, and snaps up antiques, building his initial capital in this turbulent era. Faced with Qin Huairu's tears, he watches with indifference. Faced with Xu Damao's dirty tricks, he pays him back a hundredfold. Faced with Yi Zhonghai's hypocrisy, he tears off his mask in public. He protects his sister He Yushui's future, snatches Lou Xiao'e away, and finds a perfect love that goes both ways. He also rides the wave of the times, growing into a business tycoon with interests spanning food service, real estate, and finance.
No misery, no pointless infighting, no saintly softness! The focus is on a career comeback and rising through the ranks, making up for every regret in the original story. Watch the male lead escape his lowly fate, crush the courtyard's ingrates, and reach the top in both career and love, transforming from "Silly Zhu," mocked by everyone, into a leading figure of his era and a winner in life!
Thanks a lot,
Damn it's AI, the gas tanks are out in Chapter 10
