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'd like something like "The Courtyard Compound: Silly Zhu Gets Married and Gets Beaten Every Day". I've been reading for twenty years and have already vetted this one, so it's safe to try. If you know any good courtyard-compound novels, please recommend them. What makes a good book? In my opinion, one that keeps you hooked and makes you want to keep reading, one that...

Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?
No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.

This book is good; it doesn't have too much fighting and killing, and it's not a saintly story. It helps Zhu Zi find a partner early, saving him from being exploited. The author himself marries an older woman, fulfilling her wish to have a child. And it delivers a heavy blow to the older man. The story is still being updated, and based on the current plot, Jia Zhangshi's fate should also be sealed by the author, since only his family has the financial means to satisfy her laziness and gluttony.
Currently at 100,000 words and 47 chapters, the story is set around 1951. He Daqing and Widow Bai married and settled in Beijing, while Qin Huairu had not yet moved into the courtyard house. The writing is mature and engaging, making it easy to read without needing to rely on a table of contents. The plot is well-designed and captures the essence of the era.
I was enjoying it so much when the female lead appeared, and then... I really liked the style, so I'm giving it five stars and a triple like! Keep up the good work, author! (ง •̀_•́)ง
So far it's alright, not bad at all, worth watching. The female lead is Chen Xueru, and Xu Huizhen is assigned to Sha Zhu.
The "golden finger" (a cheat code in the original novel) isn't very effective, and the protagonist's addition and plot development seem reasonable. There's not much violence or extreme characters. Currently, the characters and plot are much better than in the original work. There's no character degrading.
This is the only protagonist I've seen who has a spatial ability but doesn't use it, keeping all his stuff at home. It's a bit of a shame he didn't go treasure hunting; he came before establishing a nation and didn't manage to steal anything to build up his own resources. Befriending the simple-minded Zhu is fine, since they're set up as fellow disciples here, the relationship is there.
It's a great read; it'll make you laugh out loud and also make you reflect on the characters' fates. The writing is smooth and simple. At first, it didn't seem particularly amazing, but before you knew it, you'd see updates. Each character is well-developed and portrayed as a normal person. Jia Zhangshi's writing is a bit quirky, kind of adorably silly, haha.
Wow, it's been so long since I've found a courtyard house novel that suits my taste so well! There are basically no issues that bother me. As for the female lead, opinions will vary, but it's an original female lead, which is fine with me. I also feel the male lead doesn't do anything outrageous.

This is another relatively harmonious and excellent transmigration novel, much better than those cruel, dark, insidious, and negative transmigration novels. It pursues the goodness of people's hearts, harmony among neighbors, and a harmonious atmosphere; it is a novel full of positive energy.
