No system, no speed-up in the spatial realm—it seems like everyday family squabbles and antagonistic antics, but it actually hides a grand scheme of survival against the tide of history. A strong sense of national pride and patriotism subtly permeates the text, with foreshadowing elements worth savoring throughout. Aside from the writing style, feel free to critique the plot's logic and coherence—it's all up to you to analyze and find fault. Readers who enjoy sharpening their minds and uncovering details are welcome to unlock this epic tale of historical rebellion!

    The first three are all time-travel stories set in traditional courtyard houses. I personally prefer the fourth one, which is a female-oriented novel. My second recommendation in the courtyard house series is: the protagonist becomes Yi Zhonghai's biological son, lost during wartime and taken in by adoptive parents. In this turbulent era, his adoptive parents reveal his true identity before their deaths. Fortunately, he has a special space with a whole shop's worth of supplies.
