Siheyuan: I Only Want to Live a Quiet Life 四合院：只想平淡过一生
This book is dedicated to my younger self, to the chaos of those days and the loneliness buried deep inside, and to everyone who can't help looking back on the past.

Siheyuan: Lin Jiu Lives in the West Courtyard 四合院之林玖住在西跨院
Someone once said, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” I couldn’t agree more. In my first work, I didn’t dare delve into the individual reasons, so I could only follow the common thread. Lin Jiu lives in the western side courtyard, and the only way to find happiness is through hard work. It won’t be very long, just 300,000 words as planned. Since it’s not long, I can promise I won’t pad it out, and I haven’t used any writing tools. The original courtya
