Synopsis

Period-drama fans, come take a look! (Not a wish-fulfillment story, no ghosts or gods, no System.) It covers romance, household intrigue, bandits, fierce resistance against the Japanese, fleeing famine, and the lives of educated youths. Everyone who’s read it says it’s great! Hei Niu and Xiu Zhen could have lived happily together, but because Xiu Zhen was so beautiful, bandits set their sights on her. By then, Hei Niu had become the chief steward of the Huang family estate. He learned that bandits had abducted his fiancée, killed his parents, and burned down his home. Hei Niu was just about to go rescue Xiu Zhen! But he had been involved with the Huang family’s Fourth Concubine, while the First Madam and the Fourth Concubine had always been bitter enemies.

After the Eighth Route Army rescued Xiu Zhen, she joined their ranks and devoted herself to the revolution. In the end, she and Hei Niu never managed to be together. The Huang family’s eldest daughter loved Hei Niu with all her heart, and her persistence and sincerity deeply moved him.

The Huang family’s eldest son, who had long been away making revolution and had sent no word, learned what had happened. He was then serving as chief of staff of the Kuomintang Northwest Suppression Headquarters, and his intervention helped Hei Niu escape disaster. After that, through years of unrest, the Huang family estate was gradually destroyed until nothing remained...

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.
