Siheyuan: Silly Zhu, I'm Going to Take You Down

A transmigration, game-control, comeback power fantasy about a dark turn.

I, Lin Qi, receive a mysterious game pod and pay one hundred thousand upfront to test Chronicles of the Courtyard.

From the start, I'm bound to He Yuzhu, the ultimate scapegoat of a bloodsucking courtyard, known as Silly Zhu. His future? Bled dry to the bone, then frozen to death beneath a bridge.

I laugh.

Control begins:

Qin Huairu asks to borrow grain? I hand her rat poison instead. "Sis, have a little something extra."

Yi Zhonghai eavesdrops? I force him to write a confession for embezzling child support. "A paragon of morality? Nice acting."

Xu Damao makes snide remarks? I load my homemade gun in front of him. "Bark one more time, and you'll be charcoal-roasted projectionist tonight."

Then the System reveals a hidden mission:

Ultimate Challenge: Control Silly Zhu and become the "Courtyard Thanos."

Reward: Withdraw game assets into the real world at a one-to-one rate.

I look at the courtyard full of beasts and polish the barrel of my gun.

"All you NPCs, this place called Love in the Courtyard..."

"From today on, it's renamed The Complete Silly Zhu Massacre."
