How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

I like technical skills, keep it up, thumbs up! ✌
While other courtyard novels are filled with intrigue and scheming in almost every chapter, this book is captivating, a pleasant read with few upsetting moments, and a masterpiece of the courtyard novel genre.
First review, well written. It shows originality and maintains a good protagonist character. The villains are all handled by others, with the author focusing on backstabbing and manipulation. The world-building is also gradually unfolding, progressing slowly but surely.
It offers the right values. It portrays patriotism and has impeccable morals. There's none of that dark, scheming, or manipulative stuff typical of traditional Chinese courtyard houses. It's full of positive energy. It's the best book in the Tomato World, Courtyard House series.
It's a really good book. Life is simple and peaceful, without so much hostility. It's much better than those mindless Cao Cao novels 😄 Starting a harem and acting like a traitor doesn't even consider the 1960s, when people's thinking was rigid. Getting caught meant being paraded through the streets – much better than that.
It's pretty good; it doesn't have much hostility, and it looks thoughtful. There aren't many unreasonable spatial systems or anything like that.
Honestly, of all the courtyard house novels I've read, this one is the most enjoyable. The conflicts and grudges within the courtyards are handled very well, perfectly capturing the rich atmosphere of the era. I don't know how to explain it, but it has a complex logical structure. It was a pleasure to read. Thumbs up to the author, keep it up!!!
This is the most morally upright novel about a courtyard house. The male lead isn't overly aggressive, nor does he build a harem like in historical fiction. He focuses on his career and national development. His positive values make it a very enjoyable read. This author is truly a gem.
This book about courtyard houses is very pleasing to the eye and realistic. Highly recommended!!
Here are my personal opinions on the three old men. The first old man is fame-hungry, but he genuinely cared for the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu. His handling of the Sha Zhu and son's issues later on was less than satisfactory, which could be explained by the fact that Sha Zhu was supposed to support him in his old age; his actions are a mixed bag.
