Looking for books like "Make Others Happy? Better to Make Yourself Happy".

Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.
Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

The story is quite rich, because it revolves around the events of a single courtyard, which is especially fun. The main couple's family is normal, but the other families, like Fan Jian's, Jia Qiong's, and the balding family, are also quite interesting. It's a good watch, I love it! 😘
It's a pretty good show; the male and female leads have a great relationship. There are lots of gossips in the yard. However, there's some BL content, so some viewers should be aware that it might be off-putting. I personally don't mind the BL elements.
A heartwarming story with its quiet moments and joyful twists and turns. The ending wasn't entirely unexpected, and I still hope for a spin-off to fill in the gaps. Besides the main character, several other characters are also very vivid and three-dimensional. The balding man and Chen Juhua are very heartwarming and full-bodied.
This book saved me from a reading slump! But I caught up in just one day. I hope the author updates more frequently, haha. The Jia family's storyline is so explosive! I wonder how the author will continue writing; I'm quite looking forward to it. However, I wish this part could be shorter. It's an ensemble piece, and overall it's very good. Keep up the good work, author!
It was pretty uneventful; I finished it. A few of the gossip segments were quite interesting. The female lead's family didn't have much presence, so I didn't watch much of that. I only watched the parts that caused trouble 🤦. That Aunt Wang was initially a really annoying jerk, but she became quite funny after she was redeemed.
It's not bad; it's definitely a gossip story. There aren't any dramatic events in the main characters' daily lives or relationships; it's just a series of incidents involving the families in the compound. Towards the end, it feels like the main characters don't even need to appear anymore. It feels like they could easily write a few more stories at this pace.
It's really good! I felt empty after watching it. The male and female leads are super sweet, and the other characters' storylines are also very rich. I was particularly impressed by Chen Junsheng and the three Jia family members. At first, they seemed morally corrupt, but when their secrets were exposed, I found out they were actually in love...
The author writes wonderfully, filling in all the plot holes in unexpected ways. It captures the warmth of everyday life in a humble courtyard while also featuring thrilling and quirky stories; the overall plot is excellent. June 13, 2026
It's quite good, but the rating is only 7.5. Many of the stories are particularly exciting and could even be written as their own. Some of the gossip is really outrageous and hilarious, and even the villains have their own comedic aspects. Overall, it's a pretty good read.
It's pretty good. It depicts the everyday lives of families in a compound, with some eccentric characters and others whose values are shocking, especially the Jia family—they're so outrageous, it's a bit unsettling to watch. I personally quite like Wang Dani; although she was annoying at first, she becomes more and more endearing after she reforms. I think this story doesn't really have a male or female lead; everyone is a protagonist. It's quite good.
