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.

Fellow Courtyard Novel Fans, Recommend Some Books That Actually Make Sense

Honestly, those courtyard-house novels use the period as a thin cover for an alternate-history setting. They're not really about what happened in the courtyard itself. A lot of the writers still haven't grasped the point.

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.

Male-Oriented Period Novels About the 1958–1963 Famine, Not Female-Oriented Ones

As the title says, no female-oriented fiction, no female-oriented fiction. I want something with a warm, everyday atmosphere and no saintly protagonist. Most importantly, no courtyard-household drama, and none of those bizarre residents from the courtyard.

Pure Feel-Good Courtyard House Stories

I want to read books similar to Siheyuan: We Can't Go Back to the Good Old Days. Don't have people start off by fighting over houses and then claiming self-defense. At least make it follow basic logic. When the police mediate a fight, they try to smooth things over and make a big deal into a small one. They don't just arrest people on the spot. And if they do arrest anyone, they take everyone involved in.
