   The first book is available. The author clearly put in the effort to research the material, and the writing is decent; the security department scenes are realistically depicted. The second book is more of an ensemble piece, with the protagonist giving ideas for Xu Damao to trick people and enjoying the spectacle. There's a funny part in the middle. After chapter 1000, you can switch books; it feels like the author hired ghostwriters after that. Overall, it's good, and the writing is okay. Both books feature original female protagonists who have a good relationship with Xu Damao, making them worth reading.

The entire courtyard is filled with my confidantes.

    These few are okay; the others are forgettable. They constantly talk about calling the police but then don't, and then there's the house-grabbing stuff—even a dog would shake its head at that [facepalm][facepalm]. I'd recommend the second one, but the updates seem a bit slow [thinking].

    "The Imperial Guard Commander in the Courtyard" carves a unique path in hardcore fantasy fiction with its dual buffs of "Imperial Guard + Modern Doctor," keeping readers thrilled and unable to put it down! The protagonist, Zhang Dahai, is a character of unparalleled skill. He possesses the martial arts prowess of a fourth-rank Imperial Guard commander from the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, the medical skills of a Qing Dynasty imperial physician, and the professional competence of a modern surgeon. Furthermore, he has a massive, time-traveling advantage—a hospital warehouse he has access to—allowing him to store everything from medicine and food to medical equipment, and even freeze time. This combination makes him incredibly powerful in the 1960s courtyard: when his cousin, Jia Zhangshi, throws a tantrum and tries to take his place, he kicks her away and smashes her with a shovel, each move deadly, directly breaking the unspoken rule of "moral blackmail"; when faced with Qin Huairu's predicament, he displays both the compassion of a doctor and the decisiveness of an Imperial Guard, providing both food and protection, showcasing a tender side to his tough exterior. This "actions speak louder than words" hardcore style perfectly matches the identity of the Imperial Guard, specializing in dealing with all sorts of awful characters in the courtyard. The plot is fast-paced, with frequent and impactful moments. Zhang Dahai, upon entering the courtyard, immediately encounters Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable behavior, which he crushes with force, letting everyone know he's "not to be trifled with." Using his spatial ability, he cultivates land on the mountain, stockpiles supplies, raises his sister Hehua to a healthy and plump state, and even provides for his family. Utilizing the Imperial Guard's throwing knife skills and martial arts foundation, he excels at hunting and protecting the courtyard; his strength of 400 jin in one hand and his three-meter jumping ability make the courtyard's beastly duo tremble in fear. His identity as a modern doctor gives him an extra "cheat code," easily treating Hehua's cold and improving their lives with his medical knowledge. Every scene is powerful, without any frustrating restraint, only exhilarating counterattacks, leaving the reader thoroughly satisfied. The book's portrayal of classic courtyard characters and its methods of humiliation are highly innovative. The fiery temper of Jia Zhangshi, the hypocrisy of Yi Zhonghai, and the helplessness of Qin Huairu are all vividly portrayed. Zhang Dahai's methods of humiliation are not merely verbal sparring, but rather a "crushing force"—he subdues Jia Zhangshi's tantrums with violence, and intimidates Yi Zhonghai's attempts to intervene by using his "mentally unstable" identity and background as a family member of a hero. This approach is both historically accurate and incredibly satisfying. The interaction between Zhang Dahai and Qin Huairu is particularly compelling; it avoids the mindless sacrifices of a simpleton like Sha Zhu, instead offering equal support and mutual redemption, making their relationship even more compelling. Most captivating is the chemistry created by his multiple identities. The iron-fisted nature of a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard), the gentleness of a royal physician, the rationality of a modern doctor, and the foresight of a time traveler are all perfectly integrated into Zhang Dahai. He possesses both the decisiveness of a Jinyiwei and the compassion of a healer; he understands the ways of survival and also has a deep sense of patriotism. This complex and multifaceted character allows him to navigate the conflicts within the courtyard with both the strength to break through and the wisdom to handle situations, avoiding a simplistic "brute force" approach and adding depth to the story. In short, this is a masterpiece of a courtyard-themed novel that combines hardcore excitement, period setting, and a variety of charming characters. It offers the novel experience of a time-traveling imperial guard, the exhilarating comeback thanks to a cheat-like advantage, and heartwarming moments of deep sisterly love. Zhang Dahai's story teaches us that only by becoming strong enough to protect those we care about and live a truly powerful life when faced with difficult neighbors and unfair treatment. For readers who enjoy hardcore, exciting stories, historical time travel, and courtyard-themed novels, this is an absolute must-read!
