Synopsis

Zhang Jiahao transmigrates to the capital in 1962. He plans to make the most of his predecessor’s connections and live a good life in the city, waiting for the right moment to find his own happiness in that passionate, wonderful era.

But fate has other plans: the neighborhood office assigns him a room in the notorious courtyard compound on Nanluoguxiang.

Now things get lively. A beast tamer has suddenly moved into a courtyard full of beasts, and he’ll have to match wits with them at every turn.

This novel takes plenty of liberties with the source material, so if that’s not your thing, please don’t read it. The personalities of all the beasts have been pushed further, and there are even more schemes and plots, though the main storyline of the courtyard remains largely unchanged.

Note: The protagonist only gets involved in the courtyard’s affairs after 1965. The earlier part focuses mainly on amplifying the characters’ personalities and all sorts of scheming.

If you don’t like it, please don’t leave abusive comments. Be kind and go easy on me. Life is hard for everyone these days, and I don’t have a guaranteed job, so there’s no need to attack me.

Also, please, review-bombing studios, don’t target my book. Posting hundreds of bad reviews in a day accomplishes nothing.

Yes, the torture of birds is refreshing to watch, unlike other people who constantly lick the pension group. They all say that Xu Damao is bad and leaks pus. I think Xu Damao is not half as good as Silly Zhu. He also plots against other people's pension groups. How can he be a good person? Would a good person plot to be used to satisfy his own selfish desires? Yi Zhonghai's choice for retirement has always been the Jia family. Silly Zhu can't even get into Yi Zhonghai's eyes. Silly Zhu can't even take care of his sister and himself. Will Yi Zhonghai count on him? Even Qin Huairu's salary is controlled. Is it reasonable to support the elderly without money?

I'm usually very lazy. I just want to have sex for free and don't want to comment, no matter whether it's good or bad, but I couldn't help complaining about this book. Halfway through, it turned 180 degrees and came to a finale. The summary in the last picture was not bad. I was so angry.

It started pretty well, it was quite fun. Why is the author so fat? The more I write, the worse it gets... The first two books and the first few were quite good, but why are the two latest ones not at the same level at all?

Well enough! At least you are righteous! Unlike other courtyards that are full of chaos, not only do they have the same views, but at the very least they have to be upright. Very good, but the plot behind it speeds up too fast! Thanks to the author for your difficulty in coding!

I think this book is relatively well written, with a decisive and powerful IQ. The biggest shortcoming is that the protagonist does not appear many times and is marginalized.

What can I say? It was well written, but the ending was too hasty. I hope the author will keep up the good work.
