    The first book: A special forces soldier transmigrates to a courtyard house in 1945, continuing the resistance against Japan in Beijing with his sister. It's a system-based story with intense battles, starting with a revenge plot after his parents' murder, offering plenty of thrills. The author's descriptions of old Beijing are detailed, and the battle scenes are visceral. 🌸 The second book: A transmigrator discovers his entire family are "traitors," a surprising plot twist. It's a spy thriller where the protagonist appears to be a traitor but is actually fighting against the Japanese. 🌸 The third book: The protagonist transmigrates into an enemy agent and uses a safe house system to defeat the enemy team. It combines the convenience of a space-based cheat system with the tension of intelligence battles between spies, and offers a high degree of realism in depicting life in a courtyard house in the 1950s.
