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.
Period-Era Fiction from the Male Lead’s Perspective
From the male lead's perspective, preferably with only one female lead.
The Male Lead Returns to the 1950S or ’60S With a Pocket Dimension
Classic Historical-Era Fiction
Looking for books with good writing and sound values!
Recommend a Great Book for Middle-Aged and Older Readers!
A good realistic novel, The Bumpy Life of a Young Man from the Mountains, which is very suitable for older readers.
Stories Set in the 1950S, 60S, or 70S. Good Writing, Please. No Transmigration-and-Raising-Kids Plots

Any Siheyuan Stories Without a System, a Pocket Dimension, or Cheats?
Period Novels Set Around 1945
Any recommendations for stories set in the 1940s, around 1945, in the old capital?
Novels Where the Protagonist Leaves the Military and Moves Into a Siheyuan Courtyard
Looking for Books Set in the 1950S or 1960S Only, with a Male Lead! A Male Lead! A Male Lead!

Cultivation and Farming, No Male Lead
I'm looking for books similar to The Grassroots Female Immortal Gets Rich Through Longevity. Are there any cultivation and farming novels with no male lead? The protagonist has to be female, with no romantic undertones.

The storyline is vivid and the veterans' descriptions are authentic. Worth watching for book lovers[OK][OK][OK]
The author uses line drawing techniques to condense the torrent of the great era into the fate of small people - the counters of the supply and marketing cooperatives and the market fireworks in the tube towers all make tiny lamentations under the gears of the times. There is no deliberately sensational nostalgia, but every detail becomes a slice of time, allowing readers to touch the warmth of history in the wrinkles of their fathers. Pretty good-looking? The characters have distinct personalities and their lives are down-to-earth.
Clear organization and smooth writing. The storyline unfolds naturally. His understanding of the historical background is much better than that of other authors. It's just that the word count is too few and it's not enough to read. Lots of updates!
Maybe as a Beijinger, the stories written in the novel feel more familiar, especially since my father also served in the war to resist U. S. Aggression and aid Korea. I was fascinated by the vivid and flesh-and-blood characters described by the author, as if they were right in front of me. Thank you for such wonderful writing, keep up the good work! Hope to see a happy ending.
The writing style is smooth, the organization is clear, the sense of age is strong, and the storyline has ups and downs. It is many times better than those young people who can only write anecdotes. People can't help but want to read on. Come on, author!
It feels good. It feels real and relevant to history. It's not a huge scam.
The novel is told in a straightforward manner without any pretensions. The content of the novel is both worldly and positive, which is quite attractive. Authors are encouraged to give 5 points.
Easy to understand and the complex connections are smooth.
I can see it now in one breath. Please update quickly and speed up the update. Although it has flaws, it is good. Keep up the good work. The story of a small person has details of life. I hope the author will be bolder and continue to dig deeper.
Objectively speaking, the book is very well written, but some details need to be polished. It is much better than many Siheyuan books.
