The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

He Zhu finds himself inexplicably transported into the world of a familiar television drama, awakening in the body of He Yuzhu—a man widely known throughout his neighborhood by the unflattering nickname "Silly Zhu." Now inhabiting the bustling, tightly packed communal living quarters of a traditional courtyard house, he quickly realizes that the chaotic events of the original storyline have not yet begun. This unexpected stroke of fortune grants him a precious window of opportunity to alter his fate before the inevitable drama unfolds. The courtyard itself is far from a peaceful sanctuary; it is teeming with eccentric, difficult, and deeply manipulative residents who constantly scheme against one another. Navigating this treacherous social landscape requires sharp instincts and an iron will. However, the newly transformed He Yuzhu is no longer the gullible pushover he was originally destined to be. Armed with foreknowledge and a completely reformed mindset, he stands ready to confront the bizarre challenges and toxic personalities of the courtyard on his own terms, determined to rewrite his story entirely.
