Courtyard Chronicles: The Villain Who Steals Back

Cheng Zhiguo wakes up in a 1960s Beijing courtyard—and it's a nest of scheming neighbors who think he's an easy mark. Big mistake. Armed with modern cunning and zero shame, he's about to teach these so-called 'beasts' what real ruthlessness looks like. Blackmail the widow next door? Done. Expose the hypocrite's schemes? Child's play. One-punch the self-righteous fool? With pleasure. In a world where everyone plays dirty, he'll play dirtier—and watch the entire courtyard crumble at his feet.
