Recommend me a transmigration novel set in "Love in the Courtyard" with a System. Not one where the protagonist transmigrates as He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, or Bang Geng. A female protagonist, preferably, and it should be true to the era!

It's only chapter 31, so it's hard to give a full evaluation yet, but it's pretty good so far.
Keep it up, young man!
I'll give myself five stars! As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
Very good, the description of courtyard houses is very detailed.
The writing is clear, fluent, and systematic, yet doesn't rely on reliance on external sources. It's worth reading. The characters are well-developed. The ending feels a bit rushed, perhaps because there wasn't much left to write, but it's still better than typical courtyard-themed novels.
Two peaches kill three warriors; taking money but not doing the job; Qin Huairu is portrayed too negatively.
In my opinion, the best books in the "Siheyuan" genre are those with around 200 chapters and 500,000 to 600,000 words; many of these have high ratings. From 1950 to 1978, there was a ten-year period of relative quiet. Aside from those with systems and teleportation features, where else can you go? Twenty years of mundane family life and animal cruelty can easily tire readers. This book is excellent; I feel it's a gem. No harem, no ambiguous relationships. Thumbs up!
This protagonist is good; he's a veteran, brave and resourceful, tactful, and handles various interpersonal relationships well. The plot is similar to the original, feeling somewhat repetitive and lacking any real novelty. The focus is on ordinary interpersonal relationships. Even when drinking with his superiors, the protagonist isn't particularly adept at social interaction.
This is yet another novel where the female lead isn't from the original work. I personally don't like it, but I'm sure some people will. I'm not posting this review to disparage the novel, but just to let those who, like me, dislike it know, so they don't waste time reading through parts only to find out, and also so those who like it can read it without worry.
A good book about courtyard houses
