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.

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.

Any Period-Era Stories About Families That Stick Together?

How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???

No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...
