    Finding books on Taobao is so difficult! These are books I've selected from over a thousand reads, all with excellent writing, well-developed characters, and exciting stories | Taobao's "Gold Rush" Series 1: (Completed) 1: A female protagonist transmigrates into a male character, portraying a romantic and talented young man like a white moonlight (which shows that what everyone likes is a handsome boy with a female soul). 2: A story about a strong female protagonist who escapes disaster and farms without a space, system, or messy romantic relationships; her strength itself is very attractive. 3: The early part is very good, and the story segments are all interesting. Based on the stories of many women being oppressed, it vividly portrays the girls' rescue and being rescued. 4: A very clear-headed empress; not a traditional "feel-good" novel, but the author's writing is excellent. 5: Also a rescue story; there aren't many well-written BL novels on Taobao, and this one is definitely one of them (if you disagree, you're right). 6: The writing is smooth, and the characters are very well-developed and compelling; worth reading. 7: Not a traditional "true or false heiress" novel; the author has a very imaginative and imaginative mind. The prison section of this book is a bit controversial, but personally, I think it's the most outstanding part.
