    I highly recommend this book, which I've been following for over two months. It's a blend of sweet romance, tech savvy, and industrial elements. The male lead marries Qin Huairu, takes Lou Xiao'e as a concubine, builds the East Courtyard, manufactures the Dongfang Engine, leads the development of domestically produced tanks, and ignites China's technological advancement. It's not mindless, brainless, or violent. The everyday life of a traditional courtyard house is perfectly integrated with the tides of history. It transports you back to the vibrant 1950s, making it a truly captivating and enjoyable read.
