Modern deliveryman Lu Yiming died suddenly and was mistakenly bound to a newbie System, then transmigrated as Lou Bancheng into the world of the Siheyuan. Furious and ready to give up, he demanded to be unbound and forced the System to compensate him with an independent space, one soul in two bodies, and two identical selves.
His main body was Lou Bancheng, a 42-year-old Beijing tycoon who owned a steel mill, had investments in Hong Kong, and enjoyed a life of leisure and wellness. His other body was Lu Xiaoye, an 18-year-old war orphan living in the siheyuan, with three privately owned rooms in the east wing of the front courtyard. He gave up his exams, chose to lie flat, and got a job as a warehouse manager at the steel mill.
The whole courtyard was full of wolves: Yi Zhonghai used moral blackmail, the Jia family dodged rent, Yan Bugui borrowed money and never paid it back, and Liu Haizhong schemed in secret. Lu Xiaoye didn't argue or make a fuss. He used his storage space to scoop up all the money hidden by five families. The next day, the whole courtyard called the police. He turned around and pulled out the ledger. “You lost your money. What does that have to do with me collecting debts?”
In his previous life, he worked like an ox. Now that he had the means, all he wanted was a carefree life. If he was in a good mood, he'd lend a hand. If not, everyone could fend for themselves.
