Siheyuan: It All Began When I Had Old Mrs. Deaf Executed

Wow, this author has a truly unique way of thinking. They've set a good example for future authors and even provided inspiration for those who might travel to this era, showing them how to survive.

The modern protagonist who travels back in time is 5 stars for his actions and words that align with the era, such as eating cornbread, using public toilets, getting married early, and making sacrifices (if you like historical fiction, your expectations aren't high; just follow how people lived back then, don't get hung up on the details of where people used to relieve themselves.

This is the only one of the hundreds of "courtyard houses" novels I've read across all platforms that uses pamphlets as weapons, and that happens to be the most appropriate approach for that era—no drawn-out negotiations, just unleashing an imperial weapon to wipe out the entire "retirement" group.

Indeed, this novel better reflects the social atmosphere of that era, where people spoke with their tails between their legs and worked diligently. The deafness of Yi Jia in other Manchu novels would have been condemned to death in the real 1960s.

It's a bit bland and lacks excitement, but after reading so many high-tension courtyard-themed fanfictions next door, reading this book is much calmer. It's just a bit too bland; I feel like giving up on it but can't bear to. 🙂

This is a pretty good fast-paced novel! Over 90% of the courtyard houses aren't detailed historical novels, making them light and enjoyable to read; also, detailed historical novels are really not something an average person can write, they're full of loopholes and get more and more infuriating as you read on, so this book is much more pleasant.

This book pioneered a new genre of courtyard houses without any cheat codes, representing one of the most extreme approaches. Regardless of how the plot unfolds later, it deserves five stars.

It was pretty good; the opening was a climax, and it didn't go too badly afterwards. The gang of extinct heirs is gone, the protagonist is married, Sha Zhu is married, and the courtyard is harmonious. I wonder how the author will develop the story next. I'd give this a 5-star rating for the start; I don't know what will happen next.

I just started reading, and it's not even 100,000 words yet. So far, it's quite well-written. It sets up a retirement group right from the start, without any messy back-and-forth. It's a new genre for courtyard novels. The only downside is that two chapters a day isn't enough.

This book is the most logical and enjoyable among those featuring courtyard houses. It's able to leverage the prevailing policies and environment to revolutionize the elderly care industry.
