Siheyuan: I'm a Disciple of the Jie Sect, and I Specialize in Taming the Beasts of the Mortal World

A feel-good, brainy fantasy about farming and life in a Beijing courtyard compound, set in a bygone era, with gods and demons.

Chen Mu was a disciple of the Jie Sect. For committing too many killings, he was punished by being sent to the mortal world to undergo a tribulation. To return to the immortal sect, he had to tame eighty-one vicious beasts, one after another, through sheer cunning.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself an ordinary resident of a Beijing courtyard compound in 1965.

Taking a look with his Beast-Taming Eye, he saw stingy schemers, manipulative gold diggers, people throwing their weight around with age, and hypocritical careerists. Good grief, every neighbor in the courtyard was a human beast formed from the resentful energy of the Investiture of the Gods!

His immortal arts were limited, so he couldn't simply crush them by force?

No matter. He'd use human nature to lay traps and let karma strike back!

From establishing his authority in the courtyard compound to crossovers with Blood Romance and Under the Zhengyang Gate.

Watch Chen Mu navigate the changing times, outwit and tame eighty-one beasts, and complete his tribulation!
