Siheyuan: The Martyr’s Family Draws Their Blades, and Everyone Drops to Their Knees

(The blurb isn't doing this story justice, so please read the main text.)

Lu Yuan wakes up to find he has transmigrated into the world of Birds of a Feather in the Courtyard.

His parents have just died in the line of duty. He hasn't even had time to settle into the three main rooms, the thousand-yuan compensation payment, or his security job at the steel mill before the courtyard's scheming residents come knocking.

With a remark about how “the courtyard has decided,” Yi Zhonghai tries to claim two of Lu Yuan's rooms. Yan Bugui tells him, “You can't handle that job,” hoping to take it for himself. Jia Zhangshi is even worse, cursing him as a jinx the moment she opens her mouth.

But they don't know that Lu Yuan has awakened a crisis-intuition space. He knows exactly who's plotting against him and who's trying to take his life.

Other transmigrators spend their first three chapters putting up with everything. Lu Yuan is different.

He turns and heads into the kitchen, grabs a bone-cleaver, and knocks Yi Zhonghai down in front of the entire courtyard.

“You want to take advantage of me now that I'm an orphan? Fine. Let's see what the cleaver in my hand has to say about it.”

From that day on, the rules of the courtyard change.

The others preach morality, while Lu Yuan brings evidence. They resort to kidnapping, while Lu Yuan acts in legitimate self-defense.

Anyone who dares reach for what isn't theirs will be left speechless on the spot!
