Siheyuan Stories, No System and No Golden Finger!!! Don't Recommend Anything Else
They transmigrate, know the plot inside out, and even have a System, but all they do is kill this person or take out that one. Are there any everyday-life stories about a sly schemer? Please recommend some!!

The protagonist's favorite thing to do is probably to reason with a group of unreasonable people, and he especially dotes on Jia Zhang. He is scolded by Jia Zhang every day, but he doesn't care every time. He also feels that he has a unique depth and doesn't want to argue with unqualified ordinary people 🤦
I listened to it at 1.2 Times the speaking speed, and it was so hearty. It turns out that the protagonist's vision is like this. No wonder it only has 320,000 words. If there were more descriptions of supporting characters, there would be no problem in doubling the number of words. This is supposed to be an alternative to Siheyuan. It is full of sophistication, smooth handling, low violence, reasonable logic, and novel plot. It would be accurate to say that it is a tomato-based novel. The fact that the first book is of this quality shows that the author has good writing skills and does not hide his shortcomings. If it is based on a hundred-point system, three points will be deducted. Let's use these three points to improve prices in the future.
I have not seen many courtyard houses, but this one is quite good. At first glance, it seems a bit straightforward, but after a few chapters, I found that the content is close to life, not too exaggerated, and basically in line with the situation of that era. The space is not exaggerated, and the management of the space is very attentive and meticulous. The protagonist does not have that arrogant performance, but develops step by step. This is the most difficult. Give it a five-star rating for encouragement.
It is a relatively complete and harmonious novel. It does not have too much intrigue and tolerance in other Siheyuan series. It is a rare novel.
I have read a lot of Siheyuan books recently. The one you wrote is very short but very precise. It has an outline. There are few scenes in Siheyuan and it is basically the development process of the protagonist. I feel that the author left Siheyuan to write a chronicle. I believe it will be very good. Hahaha, write a separate book about the rise of the Lin family. Hahaha
The writing is relatively good, but it is too short and the progress is too fast. It can be longer, more detailed, and more life-like. There is no need to write the timeline too long. 5 Or 10 years is enough.
Very, very good, thank you to the author! 🥰
I've read a lot of time travel novels, and this one is so well written.
There are more than 300,000 words, but the content is very rich and fills up many regrets. . . .
Generally speaking, the writing is quite smooth, not so aggressive, and the standard skills and abilities are not outrageously used. In short, it is above the standard.
