Siheyuan Stories, Must Be Top Quality
I've watched the TV drama and read a lot of the novel too. I'm looking for something where the protagonist isn't so full of rage, and treats people calmly but with principles. Every character should have both good and bad in them. There's no need to force the consequences of one thing onto what came before. The plot should fit the era.

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.

The protagonist was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China. His father went to war and left him in his hometown to be raised by his grandfather, uncle, and aunt. His father remarried and neglected his hometown until 1959 when he finally sent someone to fetch him.
It's very exciting, the plot is great, and I like stories with positive energy.
The plot involving the Jia family, the Moral Celestial Venerable, and Sha Zhu shows that the author put effort into writing it. Whether it's good or bad is another matter, but it's already miles ahead of some mindless novels. Anything written with care deserves high marks in my eyes.
All I can say is that the speed is extremely poisonous; I couldn't withstand the first few pages!
Here's a conspiracy theory: the protagonist's father brought him back because he couldn't have a son. If the father and stepmother had a son, he probably wouldn't have brought the protagonist back. But the stepmother didn't have a son, and she had a difficult childbirth with her second daughter, and then struggled to give birth.
Very good, a typical case of starting strong but ending weak; it's quite good if you don't think too much or get emotionally involved.
The author writes very realistically and logically, making it a very enjoyable read. It's worth collecting, although updates are a bit slow. 🌹🌹🌹
Come and see! The protagonist is neither resentful nor cowardly; he is ruthless and decisive.
Articles that use the courtyard house as a banner to promote technological development are quite good. So far, the characters appearing most frequently in the courtyard house story are surprisingly Director Yang, Li Huaide, and Guo Da Piezi. The storylines involving these older women felt somewhat superfluous and made me feel uncomfortable.
Ignoring some minor flaws, it's pretty well-written. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. Keep it up! I hope it's a single female lead story.
