[Siheyuan] [Reverse Tropes] [Magic Beats Magic] [Against Moral Blackmail] [Scheming Drama Queen] [Precision Face-Slapping]
Li Xiaoyang transmigrates into a Siheyuan, only to find himself facing a united effort to force him to donate at a whole-courtyard meeting. He has just thirty cents left in his pocket and can't even afford a meal.
No golden finger? His flawless acting is the ultimate cheat!
As long as I have no morals, you can't use them to blackmail me!
Playing the victim? He can cry even better than Qin Huairu.
Preaching morality? He understands blackmail better than Yi Zhonghai.
Acting shameless? Even Jia Zhangshi has to admit defeat before him!
One grand performance after another unfolds. Yi Zhonghai's retirement savings are swindled away, Silly Zhu's lunchbox gets intercepted, and every villain in the courtyard suffers in his carefully written script.
While gleefully milking the Siheyuan dry, he also snatches Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a major capitalist, and makes her his patron.
The two join forces to fleece the Siheyuan, embarking on a wildly satisfying life of reverse exploitation.
