Keep it up! I'm not satisfied with your speed 😄
There are many novels about courtyard houses. In these books, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai are immoral and disgusting, yet they get away with nothing. The male protagonist is also a beast; he can step on them and move them. This book is good and engaging. The male protagonist isn't entirely passive; actively solving problems is the key. Regardless of what happens next, giving you five stars after seeing this is definitely worth it. 🤔🤭
This book will not be abandoned again, please rest assured. I need information on the ranking system and corresponding wages for film projectionists in the 1960s. I need it urgently, online.
The greatest regret in life is meeting the most special person you'll ever love, yet knowing full well that you can never be together. Through life's ups and downs, you accompanied me for a while, and I will cherish your memory for a lifetime. For the rest of my life, whether we meet again or not, you will always be etched in my heart.
If you're unhappy, just confront the person you like, but the other person is too soft-hearted because they're deaf. I just gave it five stars, and I'm changing it immediately. I hate the part about fishing in a courtyard house; it's ridiculously exaggerated. They couldn't even get tree bark to eat back then, and they're fishing like they're buying it as a commodity?
I love reading this kind of novel, keep it up!
This is the best courtyard novel I've ever read. It's all about playing dirty tricks, that's how you deal with beasts. The most enjoyable book I've ever read.
Not bad, not bad, a great courtyard novel. It shows decisiveness and ruthlessness when the time is right, but also treats beasts like a game.
This is one of the more reliable ones written in the Siheyuan (courtyard house) series, so I'll give it five stars, though the rating is a bit low.
This is the kind of thing you have to see in a traditional courtyard house—playing dirty tricks. But it's not ruthless enough. If Yi Zhonghai had just chopped off a hand with a knife and thrown it in the toilet, it would have been much more satisfying. And Sha Zhu also chopped off his hand.
