Long Xuanhuan Novels, at Least 900 Chapters, Female Leads Who Ascend to Another Continent
I'd like to read books like Mu Qianxi. For example, female leads like Mu Qianxi, Yin Nian, Su Lengyan, or Bingxue. I want well-developed characters, and preferably not too many of them. I'd like a female lead who always gets even. I've read too many already and am out of things to read. If there aren't any, stories with a female lead who always gets even are fine too. Just looking for something to read.

The first part is pretty good, the heroine has a distinct personality and is especially decisive when getting married. Later, I fell into the convention of chronicle writing. The male protagonist hunts in the black market, the female protagonist collects herbs and digs ginseng, and is good at cooking and sewing. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat and suture surgical wounds with Western medicine. According to the development of the plot, the next step is to go to college and buy a courtyard house in the capital. If you don't buy a courtyard house, you won't be able to sleep peacefully. As I write, my ambitions and desires become bigger.
It is a very comfortable book to read. The female protagonist does not have a big golden finger, is not very smart or evil, and works hard in her ordinary life. The male protagonist is very family-oriented, has a business mind, dares to think and do, and the male and female protagonists have not taken the college entrance examination. It is really good. It is the best book I have read recently. I recommend it.
This is an author I like very much. Each of her works is relatively pragmatic and not exaggerated. I like her writing style very much. One of the best books is "My Dream Baby in the 1960s". I really recommend everyone to read it. It is very beautiful 🥰
It's just about ordinary household chores, neighbors, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the warmth and warmth of people. It's very in line with the characteristics of that era. As the author himself said, there are no big ups and downs, just some trivial things in life. The characters' personalities are very three-dimensional. I personally think it's pretty good 👍
The existence of golden fingers is very small, and the existence of space is the same as not having it. A very ordinary life in the Northeast, the writing is pleasant to the ear, and there is no fault after listening to it smoothly. The heroine's serious life makes people relaxed and yearning for it. Both her husband and wife love life very much. They love each other and work hard to do what they like. They are tolerant and considerate of each other and have the consciousness of being married. The male protagonist is responsible and responsible, which can give the female protagonist stability and a sense of security. He works very hard, has endured hardships, and is smart. He also has his own way of dealing with the world, so he has a good brother to accompany him along the way, and he also has long-term connections to help him. In short, this period article, no matter how plain, is not boring and can make people listen to it smoothly.
A very plain and heartwarming period piece. The female protagonist is an educated youth, and the male protagonist is the youngest son of a team captain, who did not take the college entrance examination. The female protagonist has a good personality, her natal family is very good, and her husband's family is also good. She even met a good sister when she went to the countryside. The male protagonist is also very good, there are some top quality, few, but not bad, you can watch it.
A very down-to-earth book. It's very real and reflects the story of that black land. It's all about ordinary things, and it doesn't have so many bloody plots like many novels nowadays. It would also be great if made into a TV series. The content is very attractive and can resonate with ordinary people. The story written by the author is very good!
This is the author's third book I've read, and it's as good as ever. I almost missed it because of the title, and didn't turn the page until I saw the author's name. The whole text is eloquently told, warm and beautiful, without any ups and downs, and it makes people feel comfortable to read. At the end, I saw the author saying that because his life had no major twists and turns, the novel was a bit dull, but I felt it was just right. I don't like novels that are choppy and full of twists and turns. I just found that the author's occupations are a bit restrictive: doctors, railway workers, and police officers appear too frequently 🤭
The writing style is good, the article is warm, I want to read it, and it is unconventional. However, the author is probably from the south and doesn't know much about the north, especially the place close to Lao Maozi. Crops are harvested once a year, only the autumn harvest, not the wheat harvest.
The article has the feeling of a slow stream, and as you read later, you can feel that the author writes better and better. In the torrent of the times, they adapt to the development of the times, but maintain their original intentions. They are a family together, guarding the happiness of the ordinary people in an ordinary way. The more I read later, the more beautiful it becomes. I want to know the future development of their family and what will happen to their village later.
