Siheyuan: Everyone in the Courtyard Helps Me Get Promoted

It's no wonder Zhang Lin is afraid of passing through the alleys when he goes home for holidays. I'm afraid too. Every time I go upstairs in my neighborhood, the old men and women start whispering among themselves. It's terrifying to be controlled by the old men and women.

As a slow-paced person, I felt a deep connection to Zhang Lin's appreciation for the leisurely lifestyle of that era. Being constantly swept along by the fast pace of modern society is exhausting, both physically and mentally. Okay, actually, I also felt tired when I saw the workplace struggles, and having to speak in official jargon... Oh my god!

There aren't many flaws. The male lead's values, personality, and speech are all quite good. He's neither a pushover nor a contrarian. He has his own job. He goes to the courtyard house, not to slay demons. The plot mainly revolves around the protagonist's work. He's a policeman, you know what I mean.

It's a pretty interesting story. Thankfully, the protagonist is a time traveler. The beginning is a bit tragic, but it feels mysterious and intriguing! The author provides a detailed background story, preventing it from feeling confusing. The writing is logically clear, making it easy to follow the protagonist and explore the plot's development.

The author is truly talented! The historical data, social environment, and character understanding… while it may differ from many formulaic courtyard novels, objectively speaking, this book is a good dish! If a harem-themed courtyard novel is like "braised pork"—too fatty and greasy, too much of it is nauseating, and even unpalatable when reading about that era!

This book is very realistic. Is it suitable for a courtyard house? Peace and tranquility are so much better, unlike some novels that portray the courtyard house as a den of dragons and tigers. It's a place of fighting, murder, and bloodshed, full of negativity.

I'm not exaggerating, but the scene where the male lead interrogates Li Laifu is absolutely divine in my eyes. I even felt a flutter in my heart; he's so handsome! There's no description of his appearance at all, but it's just so captivating! He even taught himself this skill—micro-expressions—without any formal instruction, which completely terrified Li Laifu, causing him to confess everything. 👍👍👍

I never imagined that people living in a courtyard house could be so united! It's truly a rare and enjoyable read. Although the language and plot are very simple, the characters are vividly portrayed, and watching the protagonist use his wisdom and strength to resolve crisis after crisis is truly captivating.

The atmosphere in Courtyard No. 95 Is amazing. When Zhang Lin was wronged at work, a group of people gathered to hold a meeting to figure out how to deal with Tian Wenjing. They were also teaching him some principles of conduct and workplace rules to prevent him from acting rashly and offending people, thus jeopardizing his career advancement. They also told him to keep his choices in his own hands and not to give them up easily. These people are really great.

It's just okay. I read 70 chapters, but it didn't suit my taste; it was mediocre. I'll start from the bottom. Unlike other courtyard houses, everyone in the courtyard houses has a particularly good temperament. The residents of the courtyard house can be glossed over; they're basically treated like ordinary citizens, each possessing information for the protagonist.
