- 152 Siheyuan: The Local's Rise 四合院：土著的逆袭 This book mostly borrows the setting of a courtyard-house drama as a thin disguise. What it really depicts are various aspects of that era. It has little of the usual hostility, and the plot starts very late: even after at least 500 chapters, it still hasn't gotten underway. It's a decent period piece, but not a proper courtyard-house drama. If you like fights and black-market pardon letters, this isn't for you. But if you enjoy history, you won't regret giving it a try. 4Reads8.0Score—14d adds
