Siheyuan: From the Start, I Expose Jia Zhangshi for Murdering Her Husband

One female lead, not too much angst, and a fairly lighthearted tone. If that bothers you, don't come in!

In his previous life, the male lead was a prince. Bored out of his mind, he even arranged his own funeral to pass the time and make a little money from the funeral gifts.

Who knew the fake funeral would become real? One moment he was in the mourning hall, the next he was fleeing famine! The Qing dynasty was gone, and the imperial palace had become a museum. Pork, which he once looked down on, was now a delicacy he could barely afford!

While still reeling from the shock, Yi An discovers that he suddenly has a “System” ancestor who can issue missions.

For example, would rescuing the little target character trying to end her life earn him ten enormous pork trotters?

After finally making it to the Siheyuan and meeting his only relative, his uncle Yi Zhonghai, Yi An is even more bewildered.

Good grief! Has the family line of this little three-courtyard compound been severed or something?

Why are all these important target characters doomed to die without anyone to see them off?

And the woman he rescued along the way while chasing roasted pig trotters, who has become a burden he has to look after, doesn't seem ordinary either. She has one secret after another hidden about her.

After going through all kinds of trials, Yi An, a shrewd and calculating man from ancient times, somehow turns into a master schemer.

A lively couple and two devoted uncles and aunts. This courtyard is destined to change because of them.

Author's note: This novel isn't too angst-heavy and stays close to real life. The protagonist has a golden finger, but it isn't overpowered. I won't whitewash anyone; readers can judge for themselves.

I have a completed novel of over a million words to prove it, so readers can jump in with confidence.
