Siheyuan: Xu Damao, Clear-Eyed and Sober

[No System, not a do-gooder, little angst. Don’t expect the original plot to be followed.] Xu Damao, who spent his whole life calculating and scheming, ends up alone and helpless in his old age. Not long after he finishes arranging Silly Zhu’s funeral, he too spends the rest of his miserable life full of regret. In the courtyard, no one was schemed against more brutally than Silly Zhu. But even Xu Damao, who thought he saw through everything, had been caught in the old schemers’ plans his whole life. Given another life, Xu Damao is determined to make it a good one, on his own terms.
