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.

It's a fairly normal courtyard house; there aren't any tropes like the protagonist being the deputy head or head of the security department at a steel mill and then being subdued in the courtyard, nor is there any scene of him being provoked by a beast, then beating him up, getting locked up by the police, and then begging for forgiveness in exchange for a few hundred or a few thousand yuan to…
It's nice, not too aggressive, a beautiful courtyard house.
The writing is smooth and the plot is quite engaging, but it frequently uses examples that fall into illogical categories, unlike other books. However, this book also has its exaggerations: a fish weighing 400-500 jin (200-250 catties) on a single catch, plus the person and cargo weighing 500-600 jin (250-300 catties) – could a bicycle possibly carry that?
It's not bad, just a simple, down-to-earth feel, without being demonized. Personally, I think a score of 6-something is a bit low.
It's readable even if you're looking for something to read. It's not too demonized, and while there's the element of a "ghost" (a character with multiple lives), it's not too bad. It features parents and relatives, and the story begins with the awakening of past life memories and the collection of gold and other valuables.
It's well-written, better than 95% of the courtyard novels, but please stop focusing on family members. Is the protagonist a transmigrator, or a normal male transmigrator?
It's alright, not too far-fetched. The only slightly off-putting aspect is the premise of an innocent older woman being expected to care for him in his old age. Everything else is fine.
Just you wait and see, they're all completely silent. 😏😏
It's a pretty good book, but there are many missing words. I suggest the author read it after finishing it and keep up the good work! Don't stop updating!
Very good, strong sense of logic
