   Although it's a traditional courtyard house, it's refreshingly unpretentious and devoid of any hostility. The protagonist is a bit of a naive character, seemingly taken advantage of, but you gradually realize he's scheming against everyone. It's not darkly altered or drastically changed; the characters aren't made stupid, the logic is rigorous, and the data is detailed. You can see how the characters' personalities and ways of doing things have changed over generations—a breath of fresh air in the courtyard house setting. Most importantly, the in-depth analysis of the characters, especially Jia Zhangshi, is very interesting.

    Tired of those time-travel tropes where the protagonist gains superpowers? Let me recommend something different. This story is set in 1990s Northeast China, focusing on everyday family life. The protagonist builds her career, while the supporting characters provide the humor—it's incredibly realistic! The female lead is reborn in the 90s. In her previous life, she suffered mistreatment at her in-laws' house. In this life, she starts by selling lingerie at a small stall. From a tiny shop, she meticulously calculates every penny and gradually builds her business. A few things that resonated with me: 1. The "golden finger" (superpower/advantage) isn't exaggerated, and the career development isn't half-hearted. 2. The romance isn't cloying. 3. The ensemble cast feels very real; it's not about one person dominating, but about the everyday lives of many. 4. It has a strong sense of edginess. Not everyone revolves around the female lead; she's not a saint, and she's tough when necessary.

    These are all high-quality period dramas (courtyard house fanfiction). I'm currently following the first one (which just started serialization). It's not overly violent, and the punishment of the perpetrators is swift and decisive. The writing is good, and I haven't found any major flaws yet. Although there's a plot device involving a protagonist with special abilities, the story feels very realistic. The protagonist's harmonious family background with both parents is seamlessly integrated into the story.
