Siheyuan: Xu Damao, the Beast's Bane

A scheming protagonist in a courtyard-era power fantasy, using evil to punish evil.

Xu Damao, a modern-day corporate drone, wakes up to find that his soul has transmigrated into the notorious villain of the same name in Love in the Courtyard! From the start, it's an almost impossible situation: his wife, Lou Xiao'e, wants a divorce, and the entire courtyard is gathered to denounce him. Led by the hypocritical elder Yi Zhonghai, the whole pack of beasts wants to crush him for good! Just as all hope seems lost, he activates the Beast-Buster System!

The newbie gift pack contains master-level eloquence. Xu Damao transforms on the spot into the ultimate trash-talker, turning black into white! In three sentences, he makes Qin Huairu, the "leeching white lotus," break down in tears. In five, he exposes Yi Zhonghai's vile scheme to manipulate an heirless man into supporting him in his old age. After his verbal barrage, the entire pack of beasts has its hypocritical masks torn away! The whole courtyard is stunned, and even Lou Xiao'e is left gaping!

From that moment on, Xu Damao turns completely ruthless! Punishing beasts earns him cash, coupons, future technology, and business blueprints! He'll use evil to fight evil and violence to answer violence! He'll trample the entire pack of beasts, take charge of the steel mill, and build a business empire! With the cruelest methods, he will deliver a lifelong, final reckoning to everyone who ever bullied him!
