Looking for books similar to Hong Kong Dramas: Yan Xi. Ideally one featuring Zhang Yaoyang. I'm really out of books to read lately. Also, no male-oriented stories, please. Female-oriented quick transmigration stories crossing over into film and TV dramas. Thanks, everyone!
Looking for Truly Good Books. No Immature Stories!
I've read too many books, and most lose me after a few chapters. The writing is so immature, as if it were written by a kid with only a middle-schooler's thinking skills. I want to read good books, truly good books!

Looking for books like "The Story of How I Pretended to Be a Noble Young Master of the Southern Dynasties".
Looking for Stories With a Powerful, High-Status Female Lead Who Takes the Lead in Love Too
Looking for stories where the female lead is powerful, high-ranking, and wildly successful in her career, a true person in power. She handles romance with ease, and the male leads or love interests have less power and status than she does, love her, and do their best to please her. All male characters must be sexually inexperienced. 1v1, 1vN, girl-boy, or matriarchal settings are all fine.

Looking for stories like Transmigrated into the Supporting Female Character Who Takes Advantage of the Male and Female Leads' Breakup.
Stories With a Strong-Willed Female Lead Who Always Loves Herself Most
① The female lead has her own career and goals beyond romance. ② She has a few men for fun, but they must be clean. ③ Among the side characters who get face-slapped, there should be more men than women. ④ Ideally, the ending has no CP, or is open-ended and gives everyone a home. ⑤ No misogynistic content.
Hidden-Gem 1vN Stories with a Clever, Capable Heroine, Highly Recommended
I want to read something similar to Her Game of Thrones.
For When You're Out of Books! It's Been Ages Since I Stayed Up All Night Reading!
Looking for books similar to My Skills Are a Little Overpowered. The premise is really fresh, and it feels like its own subgenre (though that may just be because this is my first time reading this kind of novel). Aside from the ending stopping abruptly, everything else is top-notch. I stayed up until five in the morning, something I haven't done in a long time.

Trigger warnings: None of the male leads are virgins, and two of them are womanizers; the female lead's first lover is an older man, and although there is only physical contact, there is indeed a romantic storyline between them. Strengths: The female lead is highly capable.
The content is quite profound, reflecting the author's deep understanding. The plot isn't the typical light novel type; in fact, it incorporates many "cringeworthy" elements that most readers wouldn't enjoy. While it requires a bit of brainpower (I've been reading too many mindless wish-fulfillment novels and my brain isn't working properly anymore), the pacing is consistently good, preventing a…
This is a very realistic story set in a bygone era, at least a 9.8 Out of 10. I'm underestimating it by 0.2 Points; the remaining 0.1 Is a humble way of giving credit to an older, more experienced author. For me, it's a perfect score. The author respects the limitations of the era, the story unfolds realistically, the protagonist grows through hard work, and even the supporting characters have…
Actually, it's quite well written. The protagonist's starting point is relatively low, but it doesn't feel too depressing. There's nothing wrong with women in that era using the resources they could access to climb the social ladder. It might not be a super satisfying story, but it's still pretty good. And it's not an AI story, so I'll give it a thumbs up.
Seeing that it's caught up, I finally couldn't resist commenting!! The author is amazing!! I'm sure this is truly a very, very strong female-centric, satisfying novel. I've seen many comments from readers mentioning the "uncleanliness" aspect, and while I respect everyone's individual preferences, I still can't help but say a few words on behalf of the author 😢 Many novels provide the female lead…
It's quite good, leaning towards realism with a touch of wish fulfillment (it's hard to survive without it), and the female lead is rational and self-reliant. The author's writing is good, and it's not a formulaic story. The low score might be due to the male lead's alleged impurity, but realistically, in this kind of environment, it's unlikely that someone with power, wealth, and good health…
Oh my god, this is so good! How come the rating is so low? Although the three men who appear so far aren't exactly pure, they all reform and prioritize the female lead after meeting her. Also, this isn't just a pure romance novel; it's a story of the female lead's business empire plus past loves.
This is so good! I finished it in one go. I would never normally read a novel with a birth system, but I clicked on it because the title said the children would all take the mother's surname. Although that's the title, the main storyline is actually about the female protagonist building her career.
My goodness! Why is this book rated so low? It's incredibly good, so incredibly good, I just feel like I haven't had enough, could the author write more? The background of this book is very much about the struggles between gangs and chambers of commerce in Hong Kong in the last century. It's definitely a female-centric story, it's not traditional or gender-based, but rather a matriarchal society.
This book was indeed let down by its title and the fact that the male characters weren't entirely chaste. While the male character's chastity was a minor flaw for me, I was willing to tolerate it for the sake of the book's core message and writing style. The author's writing is very mature and flavorful, and the female protagonist's rise from the bottom is truly satisfying.
