Siheyuan: A Frozen World, Snatching Young Huairu

He transmigrated into a courtyard house and bound himself to a still world, but the scoundrels, seeing that he was unmarried, set their sights on his three rooms.

Fine. They thought he was an easy target just because he didn't have a wife? Then he would simply find one. But she had to be clever, beautiful, and good at managing a household, and able to keep the crowd in the courtyard in line. As it happened, while he was out for a stroll, he came across a bus broken down in the middle of the road. In the crowd stood nineteen-year-old Qin Huairu, fresh-faced and innocent, yet already strikingly beautiful. Zhang Yuanlin's eyes lit up on the spot. Wasn't this the perfect candidate he had searched all over the city for without success?

There was just one practical problem: Qin Huairu had come into the city to meet Jia Dongxu, a man from her own village. They were already on their way, the matchmaker was waiting, and all the neighbors in the courtyard were watching for the fun of it. Zhang Yuanlin wasn't worried. Instead, he smiled. When it came to shamelessness, cunning, and having plenty of valuable goods on hand, Jia Dongxu's modest assets couldn't compare to his at all. First, he fixed the bus, then took his future in-laws on a tour of free food and handouts. With his connections and abilities on full display, the three members of the Qin family nearly forgot all about the matchmaking.

Jia Dongxu waited for his future wife, unaware that someone had already started cutting in.
