Synopsis

A hilarious, low-conflict period piece set in a Beijing courtyard, with a scheming protagonist, a professional troublemaker, and a real scoundrel's way of doing things.

Wang Dapeng transmigrates into a courtyard full of villains, where he goes head-to-head with the residents and discovers that his reputation is taking a hit.

His motto is: if you can't adapt to your surroundings, make them adapt to you. If you get soaked, don't let your opponents have umbrellas. So Wang Dapeng decides to make sure nobody has a good reputation.

And so the courtyard begins its evolution: the Courtyard of Homewrecking, the Courtyard of Cripples, the Cult Courtyard, the Courtyard of Scammers, and finally, the Courtyard of Law and Order.

Basically, the protagonist makes a mess of things and ruins his own reputation, leaving him unable to find a wife. To avoid standing out from the crowd, he drags everyone else's reputation through the mud too, so none of them can find wives either.

Then he secretly gets married himself and enjoys a cozy life with his wife and children, keeping it hidden from the courtyard residents.

One or two female leads. His golden finger is a jade carving from a cultivator's home. It lets him grow crops and comes with several bionic puppets in different forms.

That's good, it's original and not one of those clichéd stories.

It's quite good. The plot doesn't demonize the traditional courtyard house too much, and it's written in a fresh way. In that era, wasn't reputation important? If the reputation of an entire courtyard house was ruined, then reputation became unimportant.

This book is really good. The plot is hilarious without being overly aggressive. The author has crafted a compelling storyline, and the plot device isn't exaggerated. I've read quite a few books in the "Courtyard House" series, but few are as good as this one. It avoids clichés and doesn't feel formulaic.

A humorous version of a traditional courtyard house is quite rare. I watched it again and found that it was still really good.

I'd give it six stars! Absolutely brilliant, incredibly imaginative, and unlike traditional novel protagonists, he retaliates whether someone provokes him or he provokes someone else 😂 I absolutely love this style of protagonist's personality!

This courtyard house story is the most logical, the protagonist's homework is correct, the plot is generally well-structured, there are plenty of exciting moments, and the characters are intelligently portrayed. Plus, it has a touch of humor—a very good book!

The protagonist is a complex character; you could call him a good person, but his moral compass is surprisingly flexible. You could also call him a bad person, but he hasn't actively committed many evil deeds. He only retaliates when he senses someone is trying to harm him, and he does it flawlessly.

It's great! Of all the books I've read, this is one of my favorites. I think it's in my top 10! Hahahaha

I came here to give this a thumbs up after reading chapter 13. It's really good, really good, especially the part about banging drums and gongs. I don't know about this in other books! Dealing with Jia Zhangshi's yelling like this requires banging drums and gongs!!!

Keep it up, new idea, very clear writing. Sha Zhu also discovers that Yi Juehu and Qin Huairu are part of the gang that are hindering his blind dates. Looking forward to the next episode.
