Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?
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.

So many books written by AI these days make no sense and don't understand human nature.

Please recommend something good.

That's incredible! Even Buddha wasn't this generous. He gave away all the gold he collected from the sun, even though his hands were on fire. He still had money from his own family to spend! Looking back, even Sun Wukong got armor and weapons, while the protagonist got nothing.
This isn't a historical novel; it's an anti-Japanese war epic, an anti-Japanese version of Bureau 749! It's so awesome, so glorious and righteous! You all need to eat more of this kind of fine chaff; I can't be the only one eating it.
Why do I see the words "female author" prominently displayed throughout the text?
The male protagonist's golden finger is super large, and the space can be planted and cultivated, scouted, cut, statically stored, and upgraded. Physical abnormality. Although it is a comprehensive film and television drama, most of it borrows people's names and backgrounds. It jumps between family drama and espionage, which is quite divisive and unfocused.
The protagonist's character is incredibly noble; he donated all his wealth while his own family lived a life of hardship. This kind of noble act is truly admirable and deserves full stars! 👍👍
So far, I've only caught a fleeting glimpse of He Daqing [who has learned] preparing a feast at the traitor's house, and He Yuzhu practicing martial arts with Tian Zao'er. The courtyard house storyline hasn't even begun yet. However, the early plot is quite engaging, even though it has little to do with the book's title.
The writing is quite good! Although there are some overpowered elements and it's a bit overpowered, it doesn't feel out of place. Although it's a fusion of multiple dramas, the transitions are very natural; the author has clearly put in a lot of effort. Although there are only about 80 chapters so far, the plot is already getting better and better; I look forward to the rest.
A 7.6 Rating is a bit low; I personally feel an 8.0-8.3 Would be more reasonable. This novel is related to several films and television series, including *The Courtyard House*, *New World*, and *Under the Zhengyang Gate*, but it transcends the framework of these works. The writing is good, and the characters are quite vivid.
The plot flows smoothly and naturally, with a tight pace and no unnecessary dialogue. The characters speak plainly, making it a pleasant read. The plot is well-designed, seamlessly blending characters and stories from various films and television series.
This series starts from 1944. It's four stars because the female lead might be Tian Dan 😂 It's too slice-of-life, but saving the silly pig's mother and changing the pig's fate is good; this way, the courtyard won't have all those messy, troublesome things. Also, it's a crossover series: *Under the Zhengyang Gate*, *Glorious Era*, *The Courtyard*, *New World*, and I guess there will be more in the future. The female lead is Tian Dan. I hope it's a single female lead series.
