Siheyuan: Taking Back the Bride Price, Refusing to Be Someone's Backup

The moment Li Hao opens his eyes, he finds himself the biggest sucker in Love in the Courtyard. The whole neighborhood treats him like an ATM, and now they want him to take Qin Huairu's cousin, Qin Jingru, off their hands!

Seeing the lavish betrothal gifts his predecessor prepared, and catching sight of Qin Jingru sneaking around with Xu Damao behind the woodshed, Li Hao grins.

He catches them in the act in front of everyone and gives Xu Damao a sound beating! Then he kicks down the Qin family's front door and gets every last bit of the betrothal gifts back.

They want him to take responsibility for someone else's mess? Dream on!

After awakening the sign-in System, Li Hao eats meat at every meal and has supplies overflowing out of storage.

He teaches Xu Damao a lesson and gains Level 4 fitter skills. His salary doubles, and even Silly Zhu is impressed.

The Qin family still won't give up? Jia Zhangshi is plotting again? He turns the tables and lets the whole courtyard see what a pack of beasts they really are.

Then Qin Huairu's beautiful but tragic, mute cousin, Hu Yue, appears. When Xu Damao harasses her, Li Hao steps in to defend her.

Everyone else thinks she's a burden, but Li Hao sees the light in the eyes and warmth in the heart of this young woman who cannot speak.

He refuses to take on a troublesome love interest, only to stumble upon a true treasure.

From then on, Li Hao uses the System to crush the courtyard's beasts with one hand, while he pampers his wife and builds his fortune with the other, turning the whole place upside down!
