   The first book, as you can tell from the title, is about the male and female leads spending their golden wedding anniversary together. The female lead is a bit simple-minded (but she gradually gets better later), and the male lead is initially quite clueless, thinking that marrying the female lead is just about settling down (without love or affection) (but it gets really sweet later on). The author's new book, "Remarriage," is also very good. I couldn't find the second book anywhere on the entire website [crying]. They're all really good (and quite niche). Sheng Ge'er is truly my ideal. The third book is very yandere-like; both the husband and wife have "illnesses," but they understand and tolerate each other (please, it's really sweet, okay?). It's also quite niche.

    Check out this book! It tells the story of mutual redemption among several teenagers (why several? Because the author initially only wrote about four people, but more will likely be added later). The female protagonist, Qu Lingxian, is a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) social butterfly with a sharp tongue and a penchant for abstract art, but she's incredibly caring and respectful towards her friends—a kind, brave, and adorable little angel! The plot revolves around these teenagers helping each other overcome their inner shadows. It's currently updated to chapter 39, almost completing the story of Chen Qitong, one of the four, overcoming the influence of his abusive and alcoholic father with the help and companionship of his friends. The writing is very engaging, the author's style is excellent, the plot flows smoothly without dragging, and each chapter is substantial—no filler content. The author is a newcomer, but now that I've invested, I'm a long-time shareholder! This author is definitely going to be a dark horse, sisters, let's go!

    The first book has a Möbius strip ending, with the story repeating itself endlessly. It's quite bizarre. The second book tells the story of a female protagonist who uses various means to take the male protagonist's identity for herself and lives a good life thereafter (the female protagonist is very cunning and a bit of a villain; she may harm others). It's a story of a peasant girl becoming a noblewoman; the female protagonist is skillful and knows how to win people's hearts. The third book is about a female protagonist who tries every means to obtain a better identity for herself. She's a somewhat pretty and intelligent illegitimate daughter who filters men of different backgrounds through various interactions and ultimately chooses a perfect princess identity for herself (the main story doesn't seem to have a main heroine, but there are many "what if" scenarios; choose your favorite couple to ship). The fourth and fifth books both fall under the category of "male protagonist killing" fiction. The fourth is a quick transmigration novel where the system selects the female protagonist to be a concubine, hoping she can accumulate points by being a concubine in various small worlds. However, the protagonist uses various means to kill the male protagonist in the story. The fifth book is about a female protagonist who is tormented by a conquest game until she finally kills the male protagonist at all costs (the male protagonist in the game is modeled after the company boss, and he is extremely difficult to conquer; the female protagonist dies 9 out of 10 times). The story revolves around the female protagonist using various methods to unite multiple forces to finally kill the male protagonist in the game (at the moment she kills him, she successfully conquers him and gets the game's prize money).

    I highly recommend this to history buffs. It's a gem! I really recommend this book! It tells the stories of Emperor Kangxi, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Wu of Han. I'm a history enthusiast, and this book is truly well-written (except for the first world setting, which I didn't particularly like). It's based on history but also has the characteristics of a novel; the author must have seriously researched that period of history [thumbs up]. I really love the worlds of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Taizong of Tang; the characteristics of the emperors are beautifully portrayed, and the female lead's personality is also very distinct.

    A new book with a very unusual premise, featuring two male leads. The protagonist (the uke) is a nightclub manager (his father died young, his mother is seriously ill, and he dropped out of junior high school). He becomes the other woman in a married couple's affair (the uke is unaware they are married; the other man and the woman are in an arranged marriage, the other man is old-fashioned and feudal, while the woman is a thrill-seeking modern woman—they don't get along). Anyway, it's a very unique and novel book with an unusual premise 😘

    This is a lighthearted and funny story. The female lead is an unregistered fairy who transformed into human form without permission. She's tricked into a pyramid scheme as soon as she enters society, and her quirky thought process and often surprising remarks make her incredibly cute. The male lead is a grumpy demon king suffering from insomnia for centuries, only able to fall asleep next to the female lead. The story is set against the backdrop of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the monsters in it are all adorable and brainless. [Laughing]

    This book gave me the feeling of Tomato (a famous Chinese author) reaching a higher level; the logic is clear, the emotional arc is well-defined, everything is traceable, and each element is interconnected. It's not a traditional time-travel story, nor a traditional apocalypse story, nor a traditional infinite flow novel.
