[Reverse Courtyard Drama + Villains Reborn as a Group + Delusional Flattery + Cutthroat Competition + Supremely Satisfying Rise to Power]
Lu Chen transmigrates into the 1960s world of Love in the Courtyard. He plans to use his modern knowledge and supplies System to guard against the courtyard's scoundrels and enjoy a quiet life of his own.
But on his very first day, everything goes off the rails!
The whole courtyard of scoundrels, who in their previous lives were ruined by the “Living Yama” Lu Chen, their families destroyed and their descendants wiped out, have all been reborn with memories of their gruesome deaths!
The moment they see Lu Chen, the scoundrels in the courtyard are so terrified they wet themselves. Determined to escape the tragic fate that awaited them in their previous lives, from having their legs broken by Lu Chen to being sent to the Great Northern Wilderness to reclaim land, or even executed by firing squad, they give up their schemes and launch into a hellish competition to curry favor with him!
Jia Zhangshi: “Young master! This is the last half-pound of pork my family has. Please take it, and please don't kill my Banggeng!”
Yi Zhonghai: “From today on, Lu Chen is the one and only top authority in our courtyard! If anyone dares upset him, I'll lead the charge to denounce them!”
Silly Zhu: “Brother Lu, Xu Damao gave you a funny look just now. I broke both his legs to prove my loyalty!”
Xu Damao: “Master Lu! Silly Zhu is a treacherous dog. I'll report him to the steel mill right away. Am I a good enough dog for you?”
Watching the scoundrels scramble to be his dogs, each trying to win his “forgiveness” by turning on the others, Lu Chen reclines in his rocking chair with a little teapot in hand and laughs:
“Don't rush. Get in line. The best-behaved one today gets a steamed bun.”
