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...

Are There No Good Courtyard Novels Anymore? Nine Out of Ten Are About Procurement Clerks
Reader comments 69

It is a villain novel in the true sense, not the kind of villain novel that is disguised as a villain but is actually a good novel. The protagonist is extremely selfish, greedy, lustful, and unscrupulous. It can be said that it is basically the classic corrupt villain image in other urban novels. Because the portrayal is so iconic and classic, people always feel that some Long Aotian or a hot-blooded counterattack protagonist will suddenly appear and step on the protagonist of this book.
Real rating: ★★★★★ Comment: This is one of the best Siheyuan anti-popular novels I have ever read. Advantages: 1. The link is not too outrageous, it is mainly to give background and connections. Compared with Wei Lai's previous book which purely reduced dimensions and attacked relatives all over the world, it seemed much more comfortable; 2. The people in the courtyard are more like living people, and their personalities are not as stereotyped as in other novels. They all have the characters of ordinary people living in the city. The three uncles do not act like uncles when they see the minister, Jia and Zhang do not summon spirits and curse the streets ten times a day, Silly Zhu does not only know how to fight every day, and Qin Huairu does not beg for food from a big bowl every day. If you don't like it, don't enter: 1. There are many male protagonists and female protagonists, and of course, most of them are married. In those days, it was not realistic for you to find ten big girls, unless it was a deus ex machina, so don't watch it if you are mentally mysophobic; 2. The male protagonist is selfish and shameless. He wants to get the woman he likes even if her family is ruined, so don't watch it if the heart of the Holy Mother is overflowing.
So pretty! This book actually has a very large structure. It seems to be just about a cunning, selfish, capricious, good-looking but dark-hearted person who is good at mixing in society and making connections. In fact, it is about social class, cognition of the times, interpersonal relationships and values. It is a profile and sketch of the society in the 1960s. Moreover, the author is a thief. He will not describe many dark plots in detail, which not only avoids being blackmailed, but also leaves blank space for everyone to think on their own, which is great. Furthermore, it is not easy to be able to write such a dark protagonist so unscrupulously, and seeing that it has not been released yet. This is my first time, so I will watch and cherish it.
This book is evil, but for readers with certain experience, it reflects that era very realistically, but the author's golden finger is not strong enough. Overall, it is quite interesting and not hypocritical. It's more fun to be a bad guy than a bad guy.
Among so many fan fictions, such a distinctive feature stands out from the crowd. It is rare to find gold in the waves. The protagonist has skills, means, and even IQ.
After reading Chapter 6, I can see that the author is of good quality. The characters are all well drawn, and they are in line with the logic of normal people in the era and background. Even though Jia Zhang, an old widow, appeared a few times, her portrayal was quite complete. The shrewdness of the old widow, (Silly Zhu wants to marry Qin Huairu, but he can't, and if he marries the Jia family, the relationship will be cut off. The protagonist gives Qin Huairu a good job, and just plays without marrying him, so he has to pretend not to know and quickly get on the line.) The author likes to write about the protagonist's insidiousness from the side, which is quite good. The protagonist does things that can only be understood but not explained. 1. The protagonist fell in love with someone else's wife, and that person brought military blueprints home to work overtime. The protagonist found out about this the next night. What a coincidence, that person was robbed on the way home, and the military blueprints were lost. 2. The protagonist walked to the bus stop and bravely caught the thief. He mentioned that they might have stolen the drawing and said that he heard the thief chatting. In the first trial, they really stole it. The reason was that the man had a punctured tire and was taking the bus home. Two foreigners told the thief that the man had withdrawn a lot of money from the bank, so he was robbed. The two foreigners could not be found. 3. That person made such a big mistake. In order to reduce the impact, the protagonist suggested that one of the people assigned to go to the countryside should go to Huairou to go to the countryside first, and then transfer that person back after a few months when things calm down. It's also a coincidence that the protagonist's uncle is in Huairou. What a coincidence, the protagonist fell in love with that man's wife for a few days, and the protagonist acted bravely. Wei Guang was being commended, and the man went to the countryside, leaving only his wife in the factory.
The author didn't win the resurrection match [crying] This is my favorite book in 26 years
This book is well written, and the main character is a perfect villain. He has appeared in newspapers and won awards for bravery. He has a good image on the outside, but he is also very good at cheating and cheating secretly. He can use coercion and inducement to get the woman he likes, and even destroys his family and destroys his family! From an onlooker's point of view, the protagonist is indeed very bad, but this is a novel. As long as you take the perspective of the protagonist, it is indeed a very refreshing article. Coupled with the author's good writing style, this book is amazing! Reading the commentary, many people commented on "the petty willfulness of power". No wonder so many people like to be officials!
The author writes well and has strong writing skills. It's just that the creation of such a character is so different from the times. After all, the bureaucracy was severely suppressed at that time. Some things are not absent, but relatively few. It might be better and easier to accept if the background is in the Republic of China or after the 1980s. Of course, courtyard houses can divert traffic.
It is a rare dark courtyard work, mainly because it does not rely on the brainless system, but uses power to suppress it. It is a rare masterpiece. It's really inappropriate to forcefully return to spoil the plot. The previous one is really a perfect masterpiece. Stop jumping. It's finally a top-notch book. Don't skip it. It's the first masterpiece in Siheyuan. Just don't skip it, okay? Just write more, use power to woo more women, write less about sports, and stop dancing.
