Classic Historical-Era Fiction
Looking for books with good writing and sound values!
Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings
Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
The Pinnacle of Period Stories
An incredibly good novel set in a bygone era.
Looking for Courtyard Fics With Smart Characters, No Idiotic Stories
Looking for books similar to "Experiencing the Spirit of the Times in a Siheyuan". There are more and more siheyuan novels these days, and they're getting more and more brainless. Give me something with some actual thought behind it, not a power fantasy.

Fellow Courtyard Novel Fans, Recommend Some Books That Actually Make Sense
Honestly, those courtyard-house novels use the period as a thin cover for an alternate-history setting. They're not really about what happened in the courtyard itself. A lot of the writers still haven't grasped the point.

I've published this novel on another platform. The response has been pretty good. I'm planning to buy a house and a car in a while. If I maintain this momentum, I'll publish more. You need to work hard. Don't hold me back. I'll try my best to get you a sister-in-law this year.
Nice A good novel set in a courtyard house.
This is the first time I've encountered a courtyard house like Tongwen's, but instead of having my room occupied, I managed to steal three rooms from Shazhu. It really opened my eyes and broadened my horizons! 😂
This book has won widespread acclaim for its exquisite writing and deeply moving story. Through its delicate depiction of the characters' inner worlds, the author successfully creates a series of vivid and three-dimensional characters. Each character possesses unique personality traits and a distinct growth trajectory, enriching the entire story.
The protagonist is very clever. What I like about this book is that he never suffers a single loss from beginning to end. He never hesitates to call the police when something happens, and he also manages to have a stable marriage while having affairs on the side.
I've read over a dozen books, and this one is really good. Unlike other male protagonists in courtyard houses who are mindless and violent and don't care about their reputation, this one at least uses moral blackmail, because reputation was valued in that era.
It's pretty good, but I don't know if it will suit everyone's taste.
I've read at least 50 books in the courtyard house series, and this one is the most interesting.
It's really funny. I was going to give it 4.5 Stars, but oh well, creating content is hard work, keep it up!
It's great! I usually only leave a bad review when I can't stand a book anymore; otherwise, I just read it quietly without commenting. This book definitely deserves a good review!
