Siheyuan: It All Started When I Found Jia Zhangshi a Match

I transmigrated into a courtyard house in 1945, and it was hell from the start. Japanese bayonets pressed against our backs, while collaborators went door to door, squeezing every last thing out of the residents. I, Jia Dongxu, arrived with seven straw dolls tucked in my pocket. All I need is one strand of your hair, and your life becomes my puppet on a string. Wang Mazi was acting tough? That very night, I made him pick up a machine gun and mow down his own men. Jia Zhangshi was being a handful? Wen San happened to pass by in his rickshaw, so I married her off to him on the spot! Everyone in the courtyard thought I was a wastrel, but I was quietly setting my plans in motion. The Japanese army's warehouse was emptied overnight, and a major general at the train station slit his own throat. Yi Zhonghai wanted me to call him Uncle? He'd better ask himself whether he deserved it first. The petty scheming of He Daqing and Liu Haizhong was child's play to me. The real board was the capital, Hong Kong, and the fate of half the world. In times of chaos, decent people don't survive. A ruthless mastermind with a golden finger is just right. I went all in from the start! This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
