Courtyard Schemes: Strike First to Survive

Lin Dong wakes up in the cutthroat Siheyuan World—a cramped Beijing courtyard swarming with manipulators, freeloaders, and two-faced neighbors. Survival means one rule: strike first, strike hard. He exposes the 'helpless' Deaf Granny as a landlord. He bankrupts the stingy Yan Bugui—who thanks him for it. The gluttonous Sha Zhu? His reckoning is coming. Yi Zhonghai's moral tyranny? Dismantled. The parasitic Jia family? Let them squirm in the sun. No naive hero here—just ruthless cunning, satisfying revenge, and a protagonist who refuses to play the fool.
