A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots
The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.

Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

Looking for books like "Make Others Happy? Better to Make Yourself Happy". Whether it's about transmigration, the entertainment industry, or a particular era, most authors write their heroines as if they've never seen a man before. No matter how handsome a man is described as being, she shouldn't throw herself at him right away,

Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess
The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

It's quite interesting. The plot isn't as exaggerated as "The Courtyard Full of Birds," but it's just as good. The interactions between neighbors are full of drama, especially with that unfaithful widow who tricks Zhou Dashan into giving her money for meat every day for the sake of her child. Zhou Dashan is just as bad as Sha Zhu.
Good! Finally, a historical novel where the protagonist isn't a reincarnated or time-traveling character.
It's pretty good, but there are just so many awful characters—about 60-70% of them. Also, some names are a bit confusing. I hope the author will pay more attention to the names while writing. And please, those awful characters shouldn't keep bothering the female lead. Keep up the good work!
Overall, it's quite enjoyable. It's just that the constant focus on the female lead's beauty throughout the entire film makes it a bit uncomfortable. It's true that novel heroines are beautiful, but there's really no need to emphasize her beauty in every single scene.
Overall, it's quite beautiful, but there are just too many awful people in the compound.
It's really good! The author writes very well. The story begins with the female lead's niece being reborn and stealing the female lead's boyfriend from her previous life. The female lead is beautiful and physically delicate, but she's not a pushover; she's clever and intelligent. The male lead falls in love with her at first sight and loves her very much.
It's a good read, mainly focused on the gossip and drama. The storylines aren't like other novels that drag on and on before getting to the point. The only downside is the scenes with the outhouses; they were a bit disgusting because I grew up in the countryside and know how awful they are.
Hehe, it's so satisfying to watch the trivialities and backstabbing of daily life. The key is that the female lead never suffers a loss, which is really enjoyable. The scheming and backstabbing among the other families is also very enjoyable to watch. So satisfying! 😆
It's so good and they even released a new chapter, why is the rating so low? Highly recommended! 🥰
To be honest, the story is quite good, although it doesn't quite fit that era, but at least the female lead isn't implicated. The main reason it doesn't get full marks is that the male and female leads feel more like plot devices or background characters. The other characters in the courtyard take up more screen time than the main characters.
