Shao Jingzhe had lived in a traditional courtyard house for twenty-six years before learning that the old locust tree in the yard had been standing guard for him all along.
The old things in his home all recognized their master.
The locust tree raised thorny branches for him. The stone beasts beside the gate opened their jaws at anyone who threatened him. The rusty plaque his father had left behind burned a hooked mark into his wrist.
When men from the factory came to take the house, the tree roots pinned them against the wall.
When a black-robed man unfurled a vermilion decree to claim him, the locust roots burst three yards out of the ground. Crack! The decree split in two.
Someone declared they would protect him for a while, but before the words had even faded, a second group was already climbing over the wall.
The old man guarding the well told him, “Your father split that thing in two. One half sank to the bottom of the well. The other is in your blood.”
Shao Jingzhe rolled up his sleeve. The hooked mark on his wrist was an exact match for the words “First Generation Mark” in an old file.
Beneath this courtyard lay a scheme that had been decades in the making.
And every old thing in the yard recognized him as its master.

It looks good, and the characters of the main characters are very interesting to me. I look forward to the update.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
Many plots are very interesting, 👍
The setting of old things recognizing their owners is very good.
The protagonist's personality is okay, he doesn't lose his temper, he is reasonable before taking action, and he can deal with people without taking action.
It feels like there's a lot of foreshadowing, it's quite nice [already planted][already planted][already planted]
