Siheyuan: Starting in 1952 with Heaven-Defying Comprehension

[Period setting + satisfying read + System + heaven-defying comprehension + courtyard life + traditional martial arts]

When Chen Yuan opened his eyes, a heavy truck had sent him crashing into the year 1952. From the start, he had nothing but a rundown temple and not a penny to his name. Fortunately, he awakened the heaven-defying comprehension System!

By watching someone walk, he grasped the [Breathing Technique]! By watching someone cook, he mastered [God-Tier Cooking]! Then an ancient, long-forgotten manual of boxing took him straight into the [Bright Force] realm, making him a martial arts master!

He thought he was facing an ordinary struggle to survive in a bygone era. Who knew that inheriting his uncle's estate would land him a home in the infamous Courtyard of Beasts?

The hypocritical Yi Zhonghai wanted him to provide for him in his old age? The power-hungry Liu Haizhong wanted to push him around? The scheming Yan Bugui and the leech Jia Zhangshi saw him as easy pickings?

Chen Yuan gave a cold laugh. With powerful martial arts inheritance and heaven-defying comprehension, did they really think their petty tricks stood a chance?

He started by selling braised snacks from a street stall. In an era of scarcity, he would build a world of his own, one step at a time, and show the beasts in the courtyard who the real boss was!
