Not Bad, in My Opinion. No Hate, Please
These are books I like. I don't know if you'll like them too.
Season One: Recommended Classics in the Siheyuan Era Genre
A curated selection of Republican-era and siheyuan fanfiction. Personally vetted by an experienced reader, guaranteed quality.
Urban Fiction Without Fantasy: A Female Reader's List of Male-Oriented Novels Featuring Dreamboat Leads
Mostly urban male-oriented fiction. I don't like Eastern or Western fantasy, or xianxia. The protagonists have a golden finger. This is a book list from a 20-year veteran reader, a female reader's list of male-oriented fiction 😁, and also a kind of reading journal! No greasy male leads! No simping male leads! No lustful male leads! (The protagonist doesn't have to be devoted to one woman, but he won't be swayed or manipulated by beauty 😂) No overpowered, arrogant male leads!

When writing fanfiction, be sure to carefully read the original series and avoid making common-sense mistakes. Many fanfictions are really embarrassing to read because the authors don't even know the original series. There are no good people in the courtyard house, but there are no heinous criminals either. There isn't much fighting and killing; it's mostly about everyday family matters.
I have no idea how this book passed censorship. The part about catching spies was barely passable, but the rest was all conspiracies and schemes against the protagonist. What were you trying to achieve by portraying the Communist Party and the country so darkly? The protagonist repeatedly makes great contributions, only to be met with suppression, scheming, and frame-ups from within the country.
I've read over 300 chapters. Looking back, I've done a lot of work and accumulated countless achievements, but I haven't received any real benefits. I'm still a deputy section chief, still a single virgin, still living in a small house, still not having grown much food, and the roc (my ancestral hall) isn't even finished. The story keeps shifting, but time and space are basically stagnant.
Very beautiful
The author must have enjoyed having affairs with widows and raising other people's sons in real life. Otherwise, he couldn't have written such a vivid story.
I was disgusted by the description of a widow washing her feet. Goodbye.
Surprisingly, nothing went wrong after watching it, but Widow Qin refused to accept the delivery! Thumbs down.
I want to keep watching, but it's not a single female lead, and I don't know if she has any romantic entanglements with the widow. I haven't watched this drama, so I don't really understand.
It's a bit boring. It's just riding the coattails of the "courtyard house" trend, and it doesn't seem very interesting. The title is enough; the first few chapters are all sunshine and rainbows, then it's all reversed, a bunch of trivial matters, investigating this and that. Actually, the author handles the details very well, and the supporting characters are also clever and not stupid.
I skipped through dozens of chapters, finally reaching the last one. It's about someone with a cheat-like ability handling the most basic counter-espionage case, and what they're really up to by using a courtyard house as a front for something else... It's a complete mess, a hodgepodge, and they just run away whenever they can...
This book gradually turned into a counter-espionage web novel, and the timeline was incredibly slow. Less than a year had passed by the time it reached 500 chapters, and the author couldn't continue writing until the very end, when only two years had actually passed.
