Siheyuan: Taking on the Courtyard’s Vultures with a Pocket Dimension

Lin Chou, a corporate drone and homebody from the twenty-first century, opens his eyes and finds that he has transmigrated to a courtyard house in Beijing in 1958.

He's become an orphan, only eight years old.

His father, a firefighter who died in the line of duty, passed away not long ago. His mother, overcome with grief, has also left this world.

What the family has left is a brick-and-tile house, a thousand yuan in compensation, and a Level 4 electrician's job that should have belonged to his father.

But before his father's body is even cold, the neighbors in the courtyard have already set their sights on it all.

First Uncle Yi Zhonghai oversees the funeral, but in reality takes control of the family's property. The Jia family covets the house and the job, scheming behind the scenes. The children of Second Uncle and Third Uncle take turns guarding the door, keeping the siblings under house arrest.

Cutting off their food, forcing them to sign papers, stealing their provisions, spreading rumors, seizing their home...

The original boy tries desperately to call the police, but a brick to the back of his head kills him with hatred in his heart.

When he wakes again, the body now holds Lin Chou, a man from the twenty-first century.

He touches his bleeding head, then looks at his little sister Lin Ke'er, huddled in the corner and sobbing.

Lin Chou smiles.

"So you're trying to take everything from us because we've got no one to protect us?"

"You want to steal our house?"

"You want to bully my sister and me to death?"

"Fine."

"From now on, this courtyard is run by me, the little brat."

"Everything you've swallowed, I'll get back, with interest, bit by bit."

"Those secrets you want to keep buried? I'll drag them into the light."

From that day on, the courtyard is no longer a warm community of neighbors. It becomes Lin Chou's battlefield of revenge.

Starve to death? Not a chance.

Scare us to death?
