Looking for Siheyuan Stories About Yi Zhonghai's Relatives
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.
Excellent Long-Form Siheyuan Novels
Looking for stories like "Siheyuan: Enjoying Life in the Red-Hot Era". A quality, long Siheyuan novel, with no characters suddenly getting stupid and plenty of comedy. Give it a try!

Siheyuan, Period Story, Sign-In System, Tons of Supplies, Plausible Numbers
Looking for period novels like "The Courtyard" and "Under the Zhengyang Gate". They should have a System, preferably one with sign-ins that give you tons of supplies and goods each time. Most importantly, the period details should be realistic, like a bride price of around ten yuan, not a few hundred just because someone feels generous.

Looking for Siheyuan Stories With an Original Character as the Lead and One Female Love Interest!
Recommend me a transmigration novel set in "Love in the Courtyard" with a System. Not one where the protagonist transmigrates as He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, or Bang Geng. A female protagonist, preferably, and it should be true to the era!
A Warm and Funny Siheyuan Story Without All the Hostility
Siheyuan stories can be full of hostility, but I'd rather read something without so much of it. I've read some good ones before, like stories about Yan Jiefang or Jia Zhangshi's cousin. If I were the one writing a story full of hostility, I'd probably kill them all off in just a few chapters.

Looking for books similar to Siheyuan: The Rebellious Life of a Young Sha Zhu. I transmigrated into the world of Siheyuan and became 17-year-old He Yuzhu! I changed my age and went after Qin Huairu. The older generation leeches off the young, so I have to leech off them hard. They’re going to suck us dry either way, so I might as well get my share early.

I have been reading and reading for the past few days, and when I reached Chapter 270 (1977), I really couldn't stand it anymore. I gave it four stars because the author was very careful in writing this book. The most important thing is that the author has a patriotic view of the country, and the plots of catching spies and going to the battlefield are well described. I looked at the table of contents at the back and skipped through some chapters. Later, the protagonist gradually became three children, and each child is engaged in a different industry. The eldest son invested in the listing of chips and became the richest man in the country, the second daughter worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the third son played basketball and entered the NBA and defeated the Lakers and won the championship. The three protagonists (children) have three careers. And the length is not enough. It feels like everything is here and there. The protagonist has struggled for decades and has no identity. He has been in the class for 30 years and had the opportunity to be a leader. He turned it down. He has always been an ordinary worker, making silent contributions throughout the whole process. His fame and fortune belong to others (colleagues, children). It feels aggrieved, and there is no sense of satisfaction or substitution.
It was the first time I saw the tortured pig's feet entering Beijing.
It's good to watch, you can watch it if you like it, you can watch it if you're bored, come and watch it, come in and watch it, you can't let me suffer the poison alone 😠
This is one of my favorite books that I have read recently. I feel that the author has a good grasp of human nature and is very positive. The writing style is also very good and very immersive. It is one of the best period books I have ever seen. I hope it will be updated soon...
The rating of 6.8 Is a bit low! There are no all the pulls of ordinary Siheyuan novels, but simple narratives: Survival in the wilderness → Finding uncle Yi Zhonghai → Daily work, interspersed with small storms → The wind started to rise, supporting the Battle of Zhenbao Island, transporting supplies → Supporting the earthquake → The story of children going to the countryside → Reform and opening up, the choices made to promote the country's faster development → The development of sons and grandsons, four generations under one roof → Farewell to Yi Zhonghai and his wife → Four generations celebrate the Spring Festival under one roof. From the courtyard house to the feeling of home and country
I have read many Siheyuan novels, and this one may not be the best in terms of writing style and plot, but it has a way of writing out the context and atmosphere of that era. It's subtle, yet unique. Worth a look
The rating is low, especially in the later period, which is gradually getting better. The descriptions of people at all levels of reform and opening up, the changes in their thoughts when facing new things, and the sense of division are all very well described. This score is a bit low, the author's writing style is very good. Hope more people can see it.
Goldfinger is reasonable. Steady development, no weird plots 🥰
Five stars before 270. The later ones have basically nothing to do with the Siheyuan. If you skip it and read it, one star will be deducted. Although the protagonist is a little timid, I quite like this. Little people have their own way of life and cannot be careless.
A different Yi Zhonghai, a different courtyard house
