    The first book features a protagonist who lives next door to a traditional courtyard house but rarely interacts with the other residents. All characters are original creations by the author, focusing on everyday family life, though it's a bit filler. There's no female lead. The second book is not a courtyard house story. The protagonist has just returned from his time working in the countryside near Beijing and, through connections, becomes a train water supplier. He earns money by traveling to various places for work, and there are also some interesting everyday family stories. There's only one female lead. The third book features a protagonist who, while living in a courtyard house, also rarely interacts with the residents. His role is different, and the main plot revolves around catching spies and solving cases across the country. The most satisfying part is taking down Nie Haifen, a master of torture and wrongful convictions. There's no female lead. The fourth book features a protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a simpleton, immediately distancing himself from the widow. He rises through the ranks to become the logistics director thanks to his exceptional culinary skills. The story also includes an original female lead (a supply and marketing cooperative employee). The protagonist avoids causing trouble, doesn't engage in much boasting or face-slapping, and doesn't get into many messy situations. It's a single-female-lead story. The fifth book features a protagonist who initially goes to the city to take over his deceased uncle's job at a steel mill, but instead ends up at a scrap yard. He collects antiques, gets promoted, and fights against the monsters and demons in the courtyard. In the end, the monsters and demons either die or are sent to labor camps.

    These are the only three I could finish reading... 1. First of all, they're not 10/10 works. If you're reading a 9.3, You won't be so conflicted. I haven't read "Full House of Love," but this one is okay. 2. Don't overthink it. I like the "golden finger" trope. Later on, the golden finger becomes very powerful, helping the country's military strength advance by leaps and bounds. I really hope that's true in reality. 3. It has a golden finger, and it's the only good one in the "Full House of Love" series. It has a single female lead and she's devoted to one man.
