Siheyuan: Reborn, Silly Zhu Has the Power to Read Minds 四合院：重生后，傻柱有了读心术
This book isn't especially dark in tone. The protagonist's personality is kept as close as possible to that of the original character, and the plot is designed to fit the historical setting. People won't be killed or crippled at the drop of a hat, and there are no disgusting scenes like falling into a cesspit. This isn't the kind of power fantasy where the protagonist fights or kills whenever he feels like it! He Yuzhu, who was drained dry by Qin Huairu and ultimately died alone, has been reborn
