Siheyuan: I Ruin the Whole Courtyard's Reputation, Then Move Out

Wang Dapeng transmigrates to a courtyard house in the 1960s, where all kinds of scoundrels are packed together. He discovers that his reputation has been ruined in the course of fighting with them.

Following the principle that since I got rained on, no one else should get to use an umbrella, he decides: If I can't get a wife, then none of you can have one either!

Wang Dapeng starts spreading rumors about the courtyard: women stolen from others, live-in sons-in-law, con artists, people staging accidents for compensation, and cultists.

As things become more and more outrageous, Wang Dapeng quietly gets married behind everyone's backs and enjoys a warm home with his wife and children.

By the time everyone realizes what has happened, Wang Dapeng has already moved out of the courtyard with his wife and children. I'm done playing with you people!

A laid-back story with a mischievous, scheming protagonist and little angst, about outwitting the courtyard's scoundrels. Readers who like this sort of thing are welcome to dive in.
