Siheyuan: Rat Lord's Rise to Legend

[Period setting + beast taming + mountain foraging] Also known as *Starting Out in the Detention Center: I Turned the Tables with Rats!* Lin Feiyang is reborn in Beijing in 1965, but finds himself behind bars. His identity is a mystery! Falsely branded the son of a capitalist, he struggles to get by. His mother dies with her name unjustly tarnished, every neighbor in the courtyard is a ravenous wolf, and the neighborhood committee director is a vicious bully, constantly laying traps to grind him into the mud! Just as all hope seems lost, he unexpectedly awakens the ability to communicate with animals. The rats of Beijing become his eyes and ears! Rat Grandpa: "Brother Fei, the Niu family is plotting something nasty again!" Half-Life: "Enemy agents at the Telegraph Building? I know their whole story inside out!" With a mindset far ahead of his time and an underground intelligence network, Lin Feiyang navigates his way among beastly neighbors, a scheming director, and enemy agents in hiding. He sells houses to drive out the beasts, makes a fortune with the rat colony, and earns merit by reporting enemy agents... Step by step, he untangles one crisis after another, only to discover that he has been drawn into an even deeper whirlpool.
