Siheyuan: Supreme Carpenter, Lu Ban's Craft Is the Perfect Cure for the Jias

After transmigrating to a courtyard house in the 1960s, Zhao Guoliang became a fourth-grade carpenter. His salary was good and his skills were excellent, but he had one sworn enemy: the Jia family.

Back then, the Jia family had snatched Qin Huairu away from him, and the heartbreak had literally killed his mother. Now Jia Dongxu was paralyzed, yet Jia Zhangshi still dared to storm over, make a scene, demand money, and hurl insults while trying to extort him.

Zhao Guoliang smiled.

What she didn't know was that Zhao Guoliang had a God-Tier Carpenter System. As the old saying goes: Better to offend a ruthless man than casually cross a carpenter.

When Jia Zhangshi stormed in, several wild cats suddenly dropped from above, scratching her face bloody and sending her headfirst into a slop bucket. When Jia Dongxu tried to extort him, Zhao Guoliang turned around and produced evidence that he'd falsified his workplace injury compensation claim, scaring the whole family into kneeling and begging for mercy.

A wooden dog carving could guard the house and yard. A wooden ruler could set a person's form. A soul-subduing wooden puppet could make Jia Zhangshi dream every night of the thing she feared most.

From then on, misfortune plagued the Jia family, and every beast in the courtyard fell silent in fear. As for Qin Huairu, who had broken off their engagement all those years ago, all she could do was stand in the distance with red-rimmed eyes, watching the man rise higher and higher, regretting it too late.

A carpenter isn't scary. But a carpenter who knows Lu Ban's arts can kill you before you even have a chance to run.
