Siheyuan: From the Start, I Refused to Bring a Lunchbox

I really enjoyed watching this TV series, and now it's being presented to everyone in novel form. I especially love the novel and exciting plot. The understated and unpretentious character designs are also something many time-travel novels lack. I've already forgotten the ending of the TV series; did it say He Yuzhu froze to death under a bridge? I've forgotten!

Maybe it's really that good because of its high rating, but I can't be the only one fooled, everyone should watch it together! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The author adds a touch of everyday life to the mundane lives of ordinary people. Having lived in the countryside as a child, I witnessed all sorts of intrigue, fights, and even the exploitation of those who had given away their inheritance. The author's writing is humorous and witty, depicting the survival of ordinary people and the complexities of human relationships with great detail. This is one of the few truly excellent courtyard novels I've read. Keep up the good work, author! 👍👍👍

Having read at least ten fanfictions about courtyard houses, this one is quite good. At least the old man adopted a child, and Yan's Jie Cheng found his own path. Qin Huairu is predicted to leave, and if she does, that will be another highlight. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Jia family's grandmother and grandson continue after she leaves. The choices made by the three members of the Liu family are also a major highlight.

I haven't watched the TV series about courtyard houses, and this is my first time reading this book, so I don't have many preconceived notions. The plot itself is quite smooth, but it's also very engaging. I finished it in two days from beginning to end, and it's very well written.

Of all the courtyard houses I've read, this is the best! Keep it up, and I hope it doesn't have a bad ending. Come, author, repeat after me: I solemnly swear: From today onward, I will never stop updating. I will not watch dramas, travel, or get sick. I will not play games or write filler articles.

This book is harmless. In the chapter about Yi Zhonghai adopting children, I felt the author wasn't as hostile as some might think. Changing perspectives is the right path. Previous books about courtyard houses often depicted suppression or even physical elimination, but violence doesn't solve problems. This book is excellent—rational and with sound values. Highly recommended! 👍🏻👍👍👍

It's well-written, but I feel the rating is a bit low. Although it's rather bland, it's quite realistic, without any exaggerated or overly perfect descriptions. I recommend it.

Excellent! A high score is warranted as long as the protagonist is intelligent. Even though I haven't watched the TV series, I was able to easily understand the original characters' traits without affecting the character development in the book. I've read several adaptations of the same novel about courtyard houses before, and they felt too predictable, as the reader already knew the original plot. This one is much better. 🤔🤔🤔

Having finished reading it, my objective assessment is that this isn't a typical "feel-good" novel about a courtyard house, but it portrays each character's personality, temperament, emotions, life experiences, and ultimate fate with depth and realism. Especially Qin Huairu's ending, and Xia Xia's last words before her death: "You are a time traveler!"
