A little madman moved into the courtyard house next door.

Thirty-six-year-old Xiao Sanfeng's life ends beneath the wheels of a car, and he wakes in the body of a five-year-old child—only to discover that his second chance carries a cruel catch. A duplicitous system has robbed him of both speech and the ability to walk, trapping him in a small mountain village for five long years. Yet the time is far from wasted: through years of advanced training, he sharpens himself until, finally able to speak, his words flow with eloquence and drip with venom. Then, just as abruptly, the system washes its hands of him—dumping its entire hoard of sign-in rewards, shirking every responsibility, and vanishing without a word. Only after its flight does Xiao Sanfeng grasp where he has truly landed: a composite world pieced together from a period drama, with the courtyard house and its tangled web of schemes at the very heart of the story. Sure enough, the courtyard's notorious beasts soon come circling one after another. Xiao Sanfeng can scarcely believe their audacity—he is already living right next door, and still they insist on coming? Very well. If they want to play, he will gladly oblige—toying with them until nothing remains.
