   This book is great! It's unsystematic, morally bankrupt, and has no bottom line. He doesn't marry and ignores everyone in the entire courtyard. I love Sha Zhu's personality! 😍

   Having transmigrated to the world of a traditional courtyard house, I didn't immediately move into that "beastly courtyard." Instead, I was abandoned in a rural village in Northeast China where temperatures plummeted to tens of degrees below zero. Hoping to survive by relying on my foresight, an unexpected incident turned me into a thorn in the side of the entire village, who chased me for three whole blocks with hoes and sickles. In this icy wasteland, I not only had to evade the villagers' pursuit but also cope with the harsh natural environment, and prepare for my future return to Beijing to face the "beasts" in the courtyard. When I finally returned to the courtyard house, covered in wounds and with sacks full of food, what expressions would those who once looked down on me have? "The Courtyard House: Starting in Northeast China, Being Hunted by the Entire Village" will show you a different kind of courtyard house story.
