【Brief Comment】

He only has this book to his name, which took 152 days to write, has 139 million words and is currently being serialized. It has 1 leader and has over 50,000 collections.

The big name is confirmed, it's just the wind outside that makes it cool. He has written many excellent novels such as "Spring in the Red Chamber", "The Romance of the Bastard in the Red Chamber", "Drunken in the Red Chamber", etc., and he is very talented.

So I really don’t understand what’s the point of him using a pseudonym. Does he think his readers are stupid and newbies?
According to him, the theme of this new book about courtyard houses was something he never expected. He had previously looked down on it, but he never expected that he would become the person he disliked the most. Because, good grades are really good.

There have been several excellent books with tens of thousands of subscriptions on the Siheyuan theme before, and even more on other websites. The protagonist this time is very scheming, named Li Yuan, who comes from Qinjiazhuang where Qin Huairu lives. He is the youngest of eight brothers.

However, he had a personal space where he could store supplies and collect negative emotions, which he could use for prizes. In other respects, he was no different from an ordinary person. So, after five years of traveling through time, thanks to his eagerness to learn, he became an official Chinese medicine doctor at the factory hospital. He was now a cadre!

He was allocated a house next to Qin Huairu's house, the house her old lady had always wanted. In order to avoid getting entangled with her, the protagonist asked Director Wang from the Street Office to come in person, but he still got beaten up.

The protagonist also did this intentionally, getting a lot of negative emotions from the neighbors. During the courtyard meeting at night, he was even more mean, pointing out that the old man's family had no children, and the reason might be the old man himself.

The subsequent plot also revolves around this courtyard. Actually, I rarely read about this genre, and I've only seen a small portion of the TV series. I tried my best to immerse myself in the story, but I couldn't quite keep up. So, I have the same problem with this type of second-hand novel, but that doesn't stop many readers from enjoying it. As the author says in the introduction, the neighbors who vividly display the human tendencies of greed, jealousy, lust, gluttony, laziness, anger, and pride truly capture human nature to its fullest.

The author has realized the beauty of this subject matter, preserving the characters' personalities and images intact and moving the timeline forward by several years. In particular, the depiction of people's lives in the late 1950s is very vivid and realistic.

Moreover, the author's updates are very stable. The plot conflicts are very intense, but the rhythm is controlled quite steadily and does not go off track. It's just that the protagonist's golden finger is still too powerful, and he seems a bit invincible in an era of food and clothing shortages.

There's nothing wrong with it in other aspects. For those who like Siheyuan fan fiction or period fiction, this book is worth reading. At the same time, I also want to see if he will change his pseudonym next time.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.
