Siheyuan: The Ordinary Road

I've read seventy or eighty books about courtyard houses, and this one ranks in the top three for its dark and gloomy atmosphere!

This book is good; it should have a rating of at least 8.5. It doesn't have a lot of crying, cursing, or scatological humor. I personally think the author is highly educated and intelligent.

I persevered and watched it to the end, and for some reason, I shed two tears at the final scene. Having neither lived in nor experienced that era, one cannot truly comprehend its beauty and cruelty. I've read a lot of articles about courtyard houses in the past two years. Putting aside the characters' personalities, I can sum it up in two words: survival. In this life, all we care about is a few coins and a few pieces of silver, enough for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

If only life could be like the first time we met... Seeing the ending, I suddenly remembered this line of poetry. When Sha Zhu met the newlywed Qin Huairu, was it a fleeting moment of infatuation or an eternal etch in his heart? (One glimpse of Yang Guo, and your life is ruined.)

If this courtyard house is a battlefield of human nature, then kindness and justice ultimately shifted. Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu were failures; nothing changed that made her work and maternal love as powerful. Yu Li's shrewdness, the old woman's kindness—Xu Damao might have succeeded if he went to Hong Kong. So… this war was confined to the courtyard house, but there was a route to Hong Kong. Qin Huairu's masterful manipulation of human nature only shows that the era limited a generation.

This is the best ending for the courtyard house! No matter how bad the person is, they can live a good life.

That's a brilliant idea. I've grasped the essence of the Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).

This is one of the best courtyard houses I've ever read across all the myriad worlds! 🤭🤭👍 Keep up the good work, author!

The protagonist seemed to be filled with disgust, but he took matters into his own hands!

I don't understand why the rating is so low. The writing is excellent. Where do ordinary people get so much outspokenness and wit? I've read dozens of books on courtyard houses, and few can compare to this. Keep up the good work, author! 👍 Author, your courtyard novel is so heartbreaking! It made this 30-year-old cry. Could you please write a better ending for Qin Huairu?
