   A piece of advice from old bookworms: there is no best period writing, only better. I recommend treasure works. The writing style is very good and has a strong sense of the period. I will say the key points three times. There is no AI. It is purely hand-written.

    Sisters! I recently found a treasure! This book "The Detective of the Siheyuan" really broke my guard 😭 I thought it was an ordinary cool novel, but I couldn't stop it once I opened it! 👉The male protagonist's soul is transformed into a silly pillar, and he brings modern memories to start a business in the courtyard. The plot is so exciting! Every time I see him quarrel with those weird neighbors, I feel so relieved! ✨What struck me the most was the ledger! It's not cold numbers, it's all about human feelings! Seeing every account he recorded for Qin Huairu, I really couldn't control my tears💧💡But a friendly reminder: this book is still being serialized! It was really frustrating to catch up on the latest chapter, and I was waiting for the update every day (the author should look at the children!) In short, this is really the best period novel I have read in recent times. I like this kind of warm and refreshing sister novel with closed eyes! It doesn't look good, come hit me!
