Book 1: Blame it on ourselves for spoiling the person who published the novel. Now nobody's following it anymore, there are no views, let's see how he tries to get away with it 😂! Book 2: It's good. There's no female lead yet, only a relatively important female supporting character. It's great that the male lead doesn't have any romantic scenes! Book 3: I think I always give it five stars!

"The Courtyard House" is an epic tale of ordinary people spanning thirty years. Lu Yiming, who failed his postgraduate entrance exam five times, finds solace and companionship with Lin Yutang under a jujube tree, upholding the warmth of human connection amidst rumors and setbacks. The book doesn't shy away from tear-jerking moments—raising funds to save his daughter, being forced to break up, and the passing of Grandma Miao—yet ultimately, it warms the heart. The moment the jujube tree is saved in front of the bulldozers, you'll believe: some roots cannot be uprooted.
