Siheyuan Stories Where the Protagonist Doesn't Get Involved in the Plot and Just Watches from the Sidelines
Looking for books similar to "Siheyuan: Starting in 1958". Don't make the whole story about tormenting the terrible neighbors. Just quietly watch them suffer their own misfortunes.
Looking for Courtyard House Stories with No Forced Dumbing Down and a Historically Authentic Setting
Looking for books similar to Four-Hearts Courtyard: Kill to Stop Killing. I want one that fits the period and doesn't dumb down everyone in the courtyard. No more of Jia Zhangshi throwing tantrums, He Yuzhu acting like a lovesick puppy, or some mindless moral grandstanding in their defense. Even the TV series wasn't like that.

Why Is Yi Zhonghai Always The Big Villain In Siheyuan Stories?
There are so many fanfics set in the courtyard house, with all kinds of bizarre golden fingers. Why does every author make Yi Zhonghai the ultimate villain? Doesn't he just want a son to support him in his old age? Why has nobody given him a golden finger that cures infertility? Arrange for him to have two pregnancies every three years, with five babies each time, and make Yi Zhonghai die happy.
My Personal Picks for Good Siheyuan Stories
The logic is solid, the way things are handled is satisfying, and the protagonist is fairly levelheaded.

Looking for a Siheyuan Story Where Silly Zhu Is Reborn. No Transmigration, It Has to Be Silly Zhu Himself
In the Four-Sided Courtyard, He Yuzhu lived almost his entire life without wronging anyone. But there was one person he let down. I'm curious: if he were reborn, what would he do? There are plenty of books about He Yuzhu being reborn, but they're all about transmigrators being reborn. I really want to read one where He Yuzhu himself is reborn.
Great Completed Courtyard Novels
Rebirth, transmigration, or a System are all fine. Just make it exciting, and preferably complete.

This is the correct way to play a max-level player, unlike those childish games we've seen before. While ensuring safety, we should be firm when necessary. Another person openly selling supplies without hiding their identity, and even offering a 20% discount!
First, the author is remarkably clear-headed, unaffected by other courtyard novels; every aspect of the book is quite excellent! Second, the protagonist's cheat-like abilities and supernatural cultivation are well-developed, though used infrequently, they are used reasonably.
I love novels that are so logical and reasonable! It started off well, but the more you watch, the more idiotic it becomes, returning to the same level of stupidity as the character of Sha Zhu in the TV series!
It's quite beautiful. I personally prefer a more selfish courtyard house, rather than one that's all about saving the country through technology. Maybe I'm just narrow-minded? I find this kind of small-circle setting more enjoyable to watch.
Well, it aligns well with my understanding of interpersonal relationships. It's a post-apocalyptic rebirth story, male-oriented, retains basic moral principles, and the main characters generally possess them. Seeing this guy, an uncle-aged man in my backyard, has been going on blind dates for three years. He finally found someone suitable after five or six years.
Great! I thought I didn't like reading rambling, drawn-out stuff, but it turns out I hate those kinds of books that don't get to the point and just fill space. This book on conversation techniques is sharp, to the point, and gets straight to the point. Very good.
Although the story begins in 1951 with the protagonist, a time-traveling idiot, there are still some conflicts, but the main characters here are handled quite well, making it watchable. Chapter 32 jumps directly to 1955, which isn't too far-fetched. Some might argue about opening a small shop, but it doesn't really matter. The protagonist has many options. We can look forward to what happens next.
It looks absolutely fantastic right now! Hopefully it won't falter later on!
This is a genuinely good novel about a traditional courtyard house. While some of the author's writing differs from other authors, it perfectly aligns with my knowledge of historical facts and events from that era. My opinion on Qin Huairu differs slightly from the author's.
It's very good, I give it five stars. It's one of the few courtyard novels that shows how a deaf old man sees through everything. If the cooking skills and treasure appraisal skills were improved, and he went back to the steel mill to live a lowly life, secretly making money and accumulating capital, and after getting through the tough times, he could hoard a bunch of courtyards and live a life of leisure, I think that would be perfect.
