No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

Having read many stories about traditional courtyard houses, this one feels particularly fresh. The protagonist marries Qin Huairu right from the start, and the main character's personality is also good. The plot twists aren't too overpowered, which is great. It's a heartwarming story that I personally really like. It's just that there aren't enough chapters yet. Author, please keep updating!
It's not flashy, it's very authentic, and the pacing is excellent. I hope it continues to be like this!
This is one of the best "feel-good" novels I've read about courtyard houses. It's so much better than those that only know how to write about Jia Zhangshi calling back the soul and Yi Zhonghai using moral blackmail without knowing how to handle the situation. I support it.
I like to think things through when I read, and to be honest, this book felt very logical. Each plot point was fairly reasonable, except for the part where Jia Xudong was abducted by the White Widow in the middle of the night. Actually, if that part had been developed with a chapter or two of foreshadowing, it wouldn't have felt so abrupt.
Sure, sure, marrying Huai Ru is great! The Jia family is quickly out of the picture, the deaf old lady has disappeared, and the troublemaking Liu Pangpang is going against Yi Zhonghai. It seems like Sha Zhu is about to marry E Zi, and the book will be a success! Considered provisions, I'd give it five stars.
The structure is reasonable, the pacing is good, and the storyline is clear. However, it's a bit too broad and expands the scope, making the target audience too narrow. Adding elements from other TV dramas, such as "Under the Zhengyang Gate" or "People Are Iron, Food Is Steel," could enrich the plot. 👍❤️❤️
This book is the darkest of all the courtyard-themed fanfiction I've read, but it's not overly violent. Unlike other fanfiction where the protagonist uses various fantastical items to directly or indirectly kill or maim beasts, this book exposes the inner evil of these beasts, depicting cannibalism in a stark and naked way. The scene where Jia Dongxu dies is particularly chilling.
After reading this chapter, my expression turned solemn. I lowered my head deeply, silently turned off my phone, got up, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle... I clutched my 1982 collector's edition Levi's Birkin tightly in my hand and slowly walked to the window. The view outside was somewhat dim, just like my heart.
It doesn't have much aggression, which is quite pleasant to look at. It would be better if it didn't have a system space, as it wouldn't seem strange to look at.
He Daqing has a relatively upright moral compass and a bottom line. Marrying Qin Huairu and changing Sha Zhu's fate is quite interesting. But is it a bit far-fetched for a cook to become the director of a large factory? The Third Uncle's family is really miserable, followed by the Second Uncle. Is the author being too kind to the First Uncle?
