In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊
I have high standards and don't like melodramatic plots. I'm looking for an ancient-era romance. Please avoid the trope where the male lead chases his wife after losing her.
What's Your Number-One Pick? It Has to Be an Ancient Romance
I've Been Reading for Ten Years and Have Run Out of Books. I'll Take Anything, So Send Me Your Recommendations!
Beast-world, farming, palace intrigue, youth, sweet romance, school life, or a strong female lead are all fine. Please recommend lots of books, my dears!
Looking for Palace and Household Intrigue Novels with Both Leads' First Times
Looking for well-written novels where both the male and female leads actually speak their minds.
Novels Where the Female Lead Has Been Through Hardship and You Need to Keep Your Wits About You While Reading
Looking for books like Young Master Gu's Dearest Darling: Did She Reveal Her Secret Identity Today? I want something full of brain teasers and one mystery after another, with a major conspiracy behind it and very little romance. A fresh premise would be great too.
Looking for Reborn Stories Like Warm Winds Can't Compare to Your Deep Affection
Looking for High-Quality, Old-School Angsty Romance Set Entirely in Ancient Times
I'm looking for books like "The Moon Locks the Tower".
A Collection of Novels Saved Here to Read Slowly When I Have Time
This topic is for my own use. Please don't recommend books here. Thank you!
Great Books Even a Picky Reader Like Me Rarely Finds
Looking for books like Scheming for Love. I want a cold-hearted female lead and a male lead who's aloof and doesn't understand love at first, but treats her as someone special. It made me cry. He doesn't know where his feelings came from, but he can't live without her. They rely on each other, and it's so heartwarming.

Originally, this was a good book. I really liked Fol's personality. If it weren't for that ambiguous extra chapter, I think the ending would have been that the official rewarded Xie Shu with fake wine, and he and Fol would have lived a secluded life as a divine couple. That must have been it.
That's amazing! The story has a great atmosphere, and the female lead is very likable. If you removed the latter part and made it into a TV series, it would probably have a completely different feel. I'm looking forward to it.
The writing is good, but the story structure is quite unique; it starts with patriotism and national sentiment, then shifts to the ordinary world.
Five stars. The author's writing is good. The only problem is the somewhat unusual concept; the two parts, both real and fantastical, don't have a clear resolution. If it weren't for the later part that fleshed out the earlier parts, it would have been a masterpiece!
The author's writing is superb; this is one of the few novels I've read that I truly enjoyed. 👍👍👍👍 [Upvote][Upvote][Upvote]
This is a highly recommended book. The author's writing is fluent, the plot is engaging, and it portrays both grand love and small emotions. It's very good. The low rating is probably due to the abrupt ending, which left the reader feeling unsatisfied. 😆😆😆
Judging solely from the romance, it's alright. However, some transitions in the relationship feel abrupt and unnatural. The plot is cleverly designed; the love in the dream world is epic and passionate, filled with patriotism; the love in reality is more mundane and focused on small, everyday things. I like the female lead's character, but the male lead's characterization is a bit lacking.
It's truly a wonderful book; the beginning was truly amazing.
The writing is fluid yet delicate, maintaining a perspective from the protagonist that isn't overly self-absorbed. The author handles it very well! Personally, I feel that the second story's Er'er is there to make up for the lack of family love she received in her previous life—from her parents, aunt and uncle, and siblings.
I've finally found a good book! The writing is excellent, the story is fast-paced, and the logic is strong. There are so many books these days, but truly good ones are so few, aside from the classics! Why are so many books written these days so unreadable? I'll follow this author. Thank you!
