Siheyuan: This Courtyard Is All Wrong

This book is good; it doesn't have too much fighting and killing, and it's not a saintly story. It helps Zhu Zi find a partner early, saving him from being exploited. The author himself marries an older woman, fulfilling her wish to have a child. And it delivers a heavy blow to the older man. The story is still being updated, and based on the current plot, Jia Zhangshi's fate should also be sealed by the author, since only his family has the financial means to satisfy her laziness and gluttony.

To put it bluntly, this book is about the most realistic dream of security for people at the bottom of society. The protagonist relies on an untouchable advantage—he has no worries about food or drink, and doesn't have to be subservient to anyone—which allows him to live so detached and calmly. Why do the people in the courtyard fight, scheme, throw tantrums, and waste each other every day?

It's well-written, although the divergent thinking sometimes jumps around a bit. The scope isn't particularly grand, but it's not small either. The cheat-like setting is quite interesting. The book is still short, so there might be surprises later. In my humble opinion, if you're a transmigrator with a cheat-like ability but still end up as an ordinary person, you might as well just reincarnate.

I think it's well-written, very realistic, and avoids unnecessary drama. It unites everyone who can be united. Yi Zhonghai is inherently evil; he's evil to the core, and whether he has children or not won't change his bad character. The same goes for Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu—birds of a feather flock together. There's no way to change these two families.

This courtyard house novel is much better than those scatological stories. It's not just about scheming, but also about overt plots that leave you speechless. It's definitely a gem among courtyard house novels.

This book's rating is too low; it deserves a five-star review. The writing is excellent, the logic is sound, and there are few flaws. It's a very enjoyable read, and one of the best courtyard novels I've ever read. I hope the author keeps updating!

The writing is very reasonable, but the description of the atmosphere isn't detailed enough; it doesn't quite capture the subtle flavor of old Beijing's hutongs. This isn't the kind of pure, nonsensical, over-the-top writing. The flaws don't detract from its overall quality; it's a good read.

It's a really good novel. I wish Zhang Dayun could marry one of the wives in the courtyard house, like He Yushui, Yu Li, Yu Haitang, or Lou Xiao'e. Even if he doesn't marry Lou Xiao'e, after Xu Damao marries Lou Xiao'e, he can cause a scene and help Xu Damao fulfill his wish to have a son. That would also earn him merit.

This book was rather dull at first! But it got quite good later on, and the merit system is a promising new genre! Keep up the good work, author!

I've read over a hundred novels about courtyard houses. This one is quite interesting, with plenty of laughs. It's not very resentful; instead, it's rather cheerful.
