Siheyuan: I, the Last Guardian

Xu Xiuyuan, a graduate student in architecture, traveled back in time to the 1960s and found himself in a famous courtyard house full of trivial matters and human calculations. This is the epitome of both material and spiritual deprivation, as well as a showcase for the bad roots of human nature. He thought it was just a difficult survival game, until a drop of blood awakened the sleeping blood contract. This seemingly ordinary courtyard turned out to be the last paradise in the end of the Dharma era, and he was its destined last guardian. The echo of all things started, and the dusty history whispered in his ears. Skills, secrets, spells, inheritance... He works step by step, plays chess with modern wisdom, and plays games with the beasts in the courtyard. Externally, he seeks survival in the tide of the times; internally, he wants to repair his spiritual veins, recover his treasures, and rekindle the fire of inheritance. When the greed of human nature collides with the torrent of the times, can he protect the last remnants of the end of the law as a mortal? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
