I can somewhat remember one part of this novel. There was a woman and she promised the MC some money, the female servant(maybe master) didn't gave him the money, but the main female didn't know that and was always like "why do you treat me so bad" "you have money, buy me better food" also the MC was cultivating a plant outside his room, it was very important for him. That woman was assuming the woman in the house/apartment on the other side was his girlfriend while the so-called "girlfriend" was thinking the other woman is his wife. And he was always sleeping outside under/on-top of a tree. Stuff happens, bad guys thrashed the place and that is as far as I remember Soooooo.... someone an idea?
