Courtyard Chronicles: The CEO Who Became a Cunning Chef

A ruthless CEO gets a second chance at life—but not the one he expected. Transmigrated into the body of He Yuzhu, a simple cook in a 1960s Beijing courtyard, he's armed with a mischievous system and zero intention of living humbly. Sharp-witted, shamelessly greedy, and unapologetically ambitious, the new He Yuzhu schemes his way through neighborhood politics, manipulates those around him, and builds an empire from scratch. With power, wealth, and beautiful women within reach, he'll stop at nothing to claim what he wants—even if it means outsmarting the cunning Qin Huairu at her own game.
