Pure Feel-Good Courtyard House Stories
I want to read books similar to Siheyuan: We Can't Go Back to the Good Old Days. Don't have people start off by fighting over houses and then claiming self-defense. At least make it follow basic logic. When the police mediate a fight, they try to smooth things over and make a big deal into a small one. They don't just arrest people on the spot. And if they do arrest anyone, they take everyone involved in.

I haven't read any novels about courtyard houses with locust flowers as the main character yet, and I hope to write one with a different flavor.
Well written, keep it up and don't get carried away.
Thankfully, I persevered. Skipping the initial courtyard house plot, the protagonist became increasingly appealing after arriving in Hong Kong. The characters and plot in the beginning were too formulaic and lacked originality, but the later, more literary style made it quite enjoyable.
A really good book. It's a shame the author felt the later parts didn't do well and wanted to change their style. I really liked this book, especially the first two worlds. Five stars for encouragement! I hope the author can write even better books in the future.
The first twenty chapters were so-so. Chapters twenty to forty were only slightly better than the beginning, probably because the protagonist was too young to write well. The writing gets better and better after chapter forty. Looking forward to it. Giving five stars as encouragement [currently working on a draft]
I only discovered this novel last night and stayed up all night reading it. I just reached chapter 81, which is well-written, but the "golden finger" effect isn't shown much. It would be better if it explored more of a commercial aspect. Now that the Jia family knows the female lead's identity and they've publicly acknowledged her, the pressure from public opinion is immense. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she handles it. In conclusion: well-written, and deserves more encouragement.
It's a great read. Although it doesn't feature the everyday family drama of a traditional courtyard house, the author writes in a way that's easy on the eyes. Definitely five stars!
The writing about Xiao Huaihua is very good. She doesn't suddenly become capable. The part about secretly going to Hong Kong is quite logical and makes sense. It would be more in line with the historical context if some descriptions of the safety issues in Hong Kong at that time were added. After all, the female lead doesn't have any martial arts skills. The ending is still okay.
It's well-written. The author's timeline shows Xiao Huaihua and Xiao Dang before they were led astray. The later part about the female lead's growth in Hong Kong is also well-written. I hope Xiao Dang gets a good ending after returning to the courtyard house, since he was the only one who was kind to the female lead when they were young. As for Qin, she has maternal love, but not much, haha. After all, she still prioritizes her eldest son.
It's great! Much more interesting than other fanfiction. Keep it up, author!
