    This is truly a masterpiece. Of the 30+ books I've read about courtyard houses, this one is the best. It avoids unnecessary entanglements, breaks conspiracies, infiltrates the national security system to eliminate spies, and even powerful figures like Wang Zitai are not to be trifled with. The protagonist's name is He Yuzhu, and yes, he's no longer a cook.
