Your Number-One Era Novel
In a Serious Reading Slump!!!! Nothing to Read!!!
I need something unconventional! Something that makes you want to keep reading!
The All-Time Best in the Era Fiction Genre! The GOAT
Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?
No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.
Looking for Down-to-Earth Stories Set in a Past Era, Nothing Too Over-the-Top
I'm in a reading slump.
Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.
Your Number One Farming Novel
Calling on longtime readers to share the most captivating farming novels they’ve ever read.
Any Understated, Sensible Period Novels? Not the Kind Where They Eat Lavish Meals Every Day
Looking for books like Making Others Happy? I'd Rather Make Myself Happy. Historical-era story with a female lead. It doesn't matter whether she transmigrates or has a golden finger, but it shouldn't be brainless or too showy. I hate those stories where she has a pocket dimension people can enter but insists on cooking outside, and is always...

The Cream of the Crop: Well-Written Stories Worth Rereading Again and Again
The heroine approaches the hero with an ulterior motive and doesn’t like him at first, but gradually falls for him. I want a story with a redemptive element and beautiful writing!!
Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

Having read countless period dramas over seven years, this one ranks first among them. The author's writing is excellent; sometimes, you become completely immersed while reading. The style evokes the feeling of Zhu Ziqing's "The Back View" (I cried while reading it when I was a student, and this rekindled that feeling).
This is a truly amazing book. I first came across it through recommendations, read the first chapter, and then put it aside. Later, I saw many more recommendations, so I read a few more chapters, but still put it aside. The third time, I persevered and read over a hundred chapters, then I couldn't stop. I guess it's a slow burner.
Actually, I think if it weren't for the lack of a romantic pairing, 009 would be a really good male lead. He's the perfect person for Jiu-mei; they have no secrets from each other, which is great. The author should really pair them up! Jiu-jiu couple 🥰🥰🥰
A very good novel. Uplifting and positive. The writing is smooth and the plot is logical. Most of the villagers have minor flaws, but they are all good-natured. The village has a united and friendly atmosphere. I'm going to search for other works by the author to read. If it's written so well, its other works must be good too.
It's a good read. I like Song Jiu's positive and ambitious nature, and I love how 009 becomes human to accompany and protect him. I'm not against pairings, but I don't like stories with too much romance. This story is exactly my style. I rarely follow stories and usually give up halfway through, but I'll keep reading Song Jiu's story. Keep it up! I'll update as often as possible.
This isn't a story about a time-traveling woman facing this cruel yet righteous world alone from a very young age! There are occasional heartbreaking and tearful moments! But the story is also a heartwarming tale of gradual growth. (I can only say, author, you've successfully made me follow your work!) Keep it up! 💪
Herding sheep, studying, taking college entrance exams… Ninth Sister grows up little by little, moving closer to her goals step by step. Along the way, there are hardships and warmth, confusion and struggle, making it both heartbreaking and moving. I love Ninth Sister; she's so real, positive, righteous, and simple. It's so good, please update! Author, keep up the good work! 💪️💪️💪️🌸️🌸️🌸️
The female protagonist is a local; the system will leave after a few chapters, and she relies on herself. The beginning was heartbreaking and brought tears to my eyes. The villagers are kind; they didn't bully the orphan girl. Some people sacrificed themselves for the country's development, while others, without blood ties, banded together like family.
This book's rating is a bit low; it's clearly a very good book. It's not one of those mindless wish-fulfillment novels where the protagonist gets whatever they want thanks to a cheat ability. Every step the female protagonist takes towards success is traceable. The descriptions of each supporting character in the story are also very detailed and touching, moving me many times.
Having finished reading chapter 275, I probably won't read the rest for now. Reading all of this in one go felt like my whole body was about to burst, with all sorts of emotions surging in. This is truly a work written with a sincere heart; the people and events depicted are so touching.
