    Reader note

    I'm currently experiencing a reading slump, so I'd like to recommend a few books. Perhaps there are even better period dramas on Tomato Bookstore, but I haven't found any! I think "My Sister-in-Law" is the best; the beginning is fantastic! However, perhaps due to some reason, the outline had to be changed, leading to some shortcomings later on. Nevertheless, the author is very talented; the character development, relationship building, and plot logic are all handled very well! The second book is about crime-solving, with a single female lead! I'm not particularly fond of crime stories, so I don't have high expectations for the rigor of the cases! Besides, the protagonist has a cheat code to help solve the case! Overall, it's a good and captivating story! The downside is that the ending is too abrupt; it's over before you even realize it's finished! The third book I read a long time ago had an excellent beginning, reaching over 9 points at one point, but the later parts were a bit weaker! The last two books are more suitable for casual reading! Fanfiction itself doesn't have much depth or inherent meaning; as long as the story is well-told, it's a good book! Why write fanfiction? Fanfiction is basically just for enjoyment—it's all about the thrill!

    Reader note

    "Young people full of youthful vigor are especially prone to making mistakes." "Qin Huairu, I believe you understand what I mean." As she spoke, the deaf old woman's gaze fell on Qin Huairu. Hearing the deaf old woman's words, Qin Huairu's face flushed even redder. The deaf old woman's meaning was crystal clear. But wouldn't such an action damage her reputation? "Grandma, this... This is too damaging to my reputation." "I... I'm just letting Chen Fan take advantage of me!" In Qin Huairu's mind, if she was to make a sacrifice, she had to get something in return. The deaf old woman simply rolled her eyes at her and said irritably. "Qin Huairu, you and Zhu Zi should discuss this matter carefully. I believe my good grandson will definitely agree." "Besides, there's no need to rush. Let's wait until Zhu Zi is discharged from the hospital before implementing it. After all, you just had a falling out with Chen Fan, and he's been bullying you." "That would easily make others notice something amiss." Upon hearing the deaf old woman's words, Yi Zhonghai quickly chimed in, "The old woman is right. This matter needs careful consideration." "It's not too late to implement it after Zhu Zi is discharged." In Yi Zhonghai's mind, the current foolish Zhu Zi was like an enraged eunuch; he would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, a eunuch would do anything for revenge. ... The next morning, Chen Fan got up early to prepare breakfast for himself. He prepared fresh chicken porridge, its rich aroma naturally whetting the appetites of even the most gluttonous beasts. "That Chen Fan is really not good at managing money! He actually cooked chicken porridge this morning! How can anyone live like this?!" "He finally got the money back from the Jia family, and he's spending it like crazy!" "This chicken porridge smells so good, I want some too! Chen Fan really knows how to eat." In the former Uncle Yi's house, Yi Zhonghai stared at the bowl of plain white porridge in front of him, his brows furrowed. As an eighth-grade fitter at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Yi Zhonghai's salary was naturally very considerable. But now, his only thought was to regain his position as Uncle Yi in the compound, and to get back to his original post, he naturally had to bribe officials. Bribing officials would inevitably cost money. That's why he had instructed Aunt Yi to cut back on breakfast this morning. But the chicken porridge Chen Fan made was just too delicious, making the plain white porridge in his bowl seem tasteless to him. "Bang..." Yi Zhonghai slammed his hand on the table and cursed under his breath. "That Chen Fan is truly despicable! If it weren't for him, I could be living the high life." Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Aunt Yi's facial muscles twitched several times. In her mind, she couldn't help but mutter, "Pah! Your salary is certainly considerable, but don't let the people in the compound think you're rich just because you always claim to be the 'Big Boss' of the compound." "What we eat is barely enough to fill our stomachs; as for meat, that's out of the question." Although Aunt Yi thought this in her mind, she dared not voice her true thoughts. "Zhonghai, that Chen Fan is so wasteful. He's even going to university now, which will cost a lot of money." "With his extravagant spending, he'll soon be crying." "When that time comes, he'll definitely need our help, and then we'll teach him a lesson." Aunt Yi said to Yi Zhonghai. Hearing his wife's words, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and chuckled. "That's right, we'll deal with him later." ... In Liu Haizhong's home, Liu Haizhong was humming a little tune, his face full of smugness. In front of him was a plate of fried eggs and a small plate of peanuts. Normally, these eggs and peanuts would only be enjoyed at dinner. But Liu Haizhong had been excited all night, and he was in a state of high excitement. This was because Yi Zhonghai had been dismissed from his post. He had waited for so many years, and finally, he had a chance for advancement. And today's breakfast was his celebration. But Chen Fan's chicken porridge was so delicious that he suddenly felt that the tender and delicious eggs were insignificant. Liu Haizhong put down his chopsticks, looked around at his three sons, and said, "What do you think we should do to deal with Chen Fan?" "Your idea is good. I'll give him half of these eggs." As soon as Liu Haizhong said this, the three Liu brothers' faces lit up with joy. Although the eggs weren't as delicious as chicken porridge, they were a luxury for them. Liu Guangfu spoke first, saying, "Chen Fan is indeed quite capable in a fight, but if the three of us brothers join forces, we can definitely subdue him." As soon as he said this, Liu Haizhong slapped him across the face. "All you ever do is fight and kill! Have you forgotten what happened to Sha Zhu?" "Sha Zhu, no matter what, was the war god of our courtyard. Even Sha Zhu wasn't a match for Chen Fan. If the three of you ganged up on him, were you thinking of ending up in the hospital?" Before this, using violence against Chen Fan might have been a good option, but after witnessing Chen Fan's methods against Sha Zhu, Liu Haizhong naturally wouldn't let his three sons take the risk again. Liu Guangfu, slapped by his father, dared not argue, but the image of Sha Zhu's miserable state in the hospital involuntarily flashed through his mind. Now, Sha Zhu wasn't just lying in the hospital; more importantly, he had become a eunuch. For a man, becoming a eunuch is undoubtedly the most painful thing in life, bar none. Seeing Liu Guangfu suffer, the eldest son, Liu Guangyuan, was secretly pleased. He quickly said to Liu Haizhong, "Dad, I think you'll soon become the new 'Number One Grandfather' of our compound." "Congratulations in advance!" "Number One Grandfather..." As soon as Liu Guangqi uttered those words, Liu Haizhong's smile was brighter than a chrysanthemum. Becoming the new Number One Grandfather was Liu Haizhong's lifelong dream. Especially hearing his son call him Number One Grandfather was sweeter than honey. "Brother, what does this have to do with how we deal with Chen Fan?" "You mean that after our father becomes Number One Grandfather, it will be easier to deal with Chen Fan?" Liu Guangfu asked, puzzled. In Liu Guangfu's mind, whether his father became Number One Grandfather or not seemed to have little to do with dealing with Chen Fan. After all, even the former Number One Grandfather, Yi Zhonghai, was no match for Chen Fan. In terms of methods, his father, Liu Haizhong, was far inferior to Yi Zhonghai. Even Yi Zhonghai was no match for Chen Fan. For Liu Haizhong to cause trouble for Chen Fan was simply courting death. "Don't you all think about it? If our father becomes the new First Master, then Yan Bugui will become the new Second Master, won't he?" "In that case, the position of Third Master will be vacant, won't it?"

    Reader note

    The first book features a system but isn't overpowered, a spatial ability, and isn't mindlessly addictive. It's a fusion of TV drama themes: a courtyard house, the Zhengyangmen Gate, bloodshed, and the "iron rice and steel" trope, with minimal resentment and a slow-burning plot. Multiple female leads: as the story unfolds, the main female lead is Lou Xiao'e, the second is Yu Li, the third is Zhou Xiaobai… others are yet to be determined. The protagonist, Zhao Dahai, after a night of heavy drinking, transmigrates to the 1960s. As a transmigrator, he doesn't have the ambition to change the course of history; he simply wants to work hard to live a slightly more respectable life.
