Siheyuan: A Bloodstained Rebel, Beating the Beasts from the Start

A compelling backstory, a short-tempered protagonist, and multiple worlds

Jiang Ye was reborn in 1968. His parents were dead from the start, and he went from living in a grand compound to a courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

Looking at the “beasts” filling the courtyard, Jiang Ye smiled.

Yi Zhonghai wanted him to support him in his old age? Jia Zhangshi wanted to take his house? Silly Zhu wanted to lay hands on him?

“I'm a proud second-generation kid with impeccable roots. Sure, I've fallen on hard times, but that doesn't mean trash like you can mess with me!”

When people picked a fight, Jiang Ye's motto was simple: “If you won't back down, neither will I. I won't let you get away with anything!”

It's 1968, a time of chaos and opportunity!

He turned around and reported Yi Zhonghai for acting like a feudal patriarch, sent Silly Zhu to a labor camp, and kicked Banggeng out to the countryside for rural service (where he was subsequently drawn into the crooked world of the Qianmen).

After cleaning up the courtyard, Jiang Ye returned to the circles of the grand compound.

He snatched “the girl of his dreams,” Zhou Xiaobai, at the skating rink, crossed blades with Zhong Yuemin, and got into brawls with Yuan Jun!

He thought he'd found himself a freewheeling life straight out of A Lifelong Journey, until years later, when he encountered Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng from Handong Province...

Jiang Ye: “Well, I'll be. So this is In the Name of the People after all?”

In that case, he'll beat fate by half a move and seize power over all under Heaven!
