contents In this work, the interplay between non-Hermiticity, quasi-disorder, and repulsive interaction is studied for hard-core bosons confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice, where non-Hermiticity is induced by the non-reciprocal hoppings and the on-site gain and loss breaking the time-reversal symmetry. Although the energy spectra of the static system are fully complex, with the evolution of the initial state, the real part of the expectation value of the Hamiltonian under the time-evolved wave function changes stably. By means of the entanglement entropy and its dynamical evolution, as well as the inverse participation ratio, the many-body localization (MBL) is found to play the key role in the stability of the dynamical behavior of the real part of the expectation value, independent of whether the spectrum of the static Hamiltonian is real or complex. In the delocalization phase, the dynamical evolution of the real part of the expectation value is unstable. Meanwhile, the nearest-neighbor level spacings statistics shows the MBL transition accompanied by the transition from the Ginibre distribution to the complex Poisson distribution, different from the one in the time-reversal invariant system. In addition, the dynamical stability of the real part of the energy and the MBL transition can be characterized by the winding number, indicating that the MBL transition and the topological transition occur simultaneously, and the realization of the Hamiltonian is discussed.
