The protagonist shouldn't be Sha Zhu, and shouldn't fawn over anyone. Ideally, the female lead is Yu Li.
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.

The protagonist comes from a working-class family. As the second son, he is separated from his family and goes to work in a steel rolling mill using a cheat code. He joins Li Huaide's faction after saving Li Huaide's wife. Within a year, he has made several great contributions and becomes a section-level cadre.
It's very well written and highly readable, a rare gem among courtyard novels. The only drawback is that the protagonist's "golden finger" (though it's just average compared to others). As someone who has read hundreds of courtyard novels, I've always wanted to read a story about someone with minimal "golden finger" abilities who survives in a courtyard house primarily through their intelligence and forward-thinking. Such books were basically only found in online novels from ten years ago.
This is a pretty good courtyard novel. The author's writing is good, and apart from the fact that the "golden finger" (a powerful, overpowered character) isn't very noticeable, the plot has no major flaws, making it a pleasant read. The protagonist is intelligent and doesn't exhibit any confusing behavior.
Personally, how should I put it? This book has a lot of haters, I don't know who the author offended. I glanced at it, and sometimes the family division wasn't thorough. First, the author said most of the money went to Zhang Zi, and the other children were separated. After the separation, the protagonist's father gave him 300 yuan. That was already considered good.
"Lightly aggressive": This refers to the lightly aggressive nature of the characters in the book. Whether you feel aggrieved or not is none of the author's business. Slow pace: Being able to write seven or eight or ten pages on a small matter is also a skill.
A rather interesting courtyard novel; in one turn, Old Yi was left speechless. Looking forward to the rest of the story.
Well, it has its flaws, but it also has many enjoyable moments. These days, whether it's a story about animals or a mundane narrative, stories about everyday life in a courtyard house are hardly engaging. This commercial novel disguised as a courtyard house story is good in several ways: firstly, it's finished, which is commendable—it wasn't abandoned; secondly, the story is well-told, overall it's enjoyable, and the author's writing style is quite mature. It's readable.
I'd give it 4 stars. The content is well-written, but after the main character took over Chen Xueru's family, who had a two-year-old son, I instantly lost the desire to continue reading.
Is it possible that someone deliberately gave Yan Jin a bad review? I did it on purpose.
A solid five-star review 👍 No back-and-forth wrangling, it was so satisfying to read.
