Siheyuan: The Dowry Talks Fell Through, So I Married Jingru Instead

I transmigrated into the world of Love in the Courtyard and met Qin Huairu in the prime of her youth.

I once wondered whether I could lead Qin Huairu toward a better life, but I never expected her to dismiss me with such disdain.

To make matters even more awkward, the Jia family whispered behind my back and spread false rumors about me everywhere. Before long, the neighbors were all giving me wary looks, as if I were some untouchable outcast.

Hmph. I, Qi Xuan, have no interest in women who care only about money.

Time flew by, and in just a few years, I became the first person in this courtyard to proudly ride a 28-inch bicycle.

It was a beautiful, sunny day. Qin Jingru wore a bright red padded jacket and, full of hopes for city life, was on her way to visit her cousin Qin Huairu, who had married into the bustling city.

But at that very moment, my 28-inch bicycle accidentally rear-ended her.

I hurried off my bike to apologize and ask if she was all right. She looked at me in surprise, then gently shook her head to show she was fine.

At that moment, I suddenly realized this might be a completely new beginning, the start of a new story between me, Qin Huairu in this era, and her cousin Qin Jingru...

And so, in a courtyard like this, one chance collision set three people's fates on a course to intertwine, and the story slowly unfolded.
