1. 1 星 The Starry Five Sons Development Plan 星耀五子养成计划 Steady Mai Mai稳麦麦Modern Romance591k WordsCompleted [Ensemble coming-of-age variety show + childhood friends + genius competition + Olympics] The Starry Five Journey is an unprecedented ensemble coming-of-age extravaganza, following its cast from a kids' variety show to a dating show and bringing together elite student athletes, academics, and artists. A reality show called The Starry Five Journey was planned to run for twenty-five years. When it was announced, it drew a flood of skepticism.

   Reader note

   "The Five Stars" has spent twenty-five years transforming skepticism into legendary status. No one believed a variety show could last a quarter of a century, until these five kids stepped into the spotlight—eldest sister Shen Miaoyun, shattering prejudice with her math competition trophy; second brother Nan Zhiyi, dispelling gloom with her paintbrush and bouquets; third brother Lin Zonglv, capturing everyday life like a trending documentary; Chu Zhaoming's journey from street skateboarding to the Winter Olympics ski resort; and Yi Xu's arc like an Olympic gold medal in badminton. The sweat of sports students, the pens of cultural students, and the lenses of art students collided under one roof, creating a wonderful chemical reaction: Shen Miaoyun would tutor Chu Zhaoming when he scraped his knee while skateboarding; Nan Zhiyi would leave a bowl of hot soup for Yi Xu when he returned late from a competition; and Lin Zonglv's lens always captured the most vibrant aspects of the four of them. From adorable baby shows to passionate pursuit of dreams side by side, from innocent feelings to the daily routine of raising children, they are not characters confined by a script, but the most vibrant footnotes to each other's youth. When Chu Zhaoming's gold medal and Yi Xu's award ceremony attire appear in the same shot, when Nan Zhiyi's painting sits next to Shen Miaoyun's trophy, you understand: this is not just a "growing up" story; it's five souls who, over twenty-five years, have become each other's light.

   In this ensemble piece, the spirited young men each possess distinct characteristics: Xie Qingfeng, eccentric yet reliable in crucial moments; the determined and ambitious senior sister; Ran Zai, loyal and adorable but with quirky tastes; Gu Xiuyan, the serious yet indulgent sect leader; Xiao Jiangjiang, a rebellious yet soft-hearted genius of demonic talismans who seeks to subdue the demon realm; and Su Su, a cunning junior brother skilled at binding people with his zither strings, who can be healed. They bicker and tease each other daily, enjoy "harming" their fellow disciples and assimilating the Six Upper Sects, yet their relationships are exceptionally close, each one a bit eccentric. The ending is a happy one; no matter how outstanding they become in their respective fields or how famous they are in the cultivation world, they remain young men who will still "friendly spar" together.

Sang Nian refuses. Reborn three hundred years later, she's forced to save Xie Chenzhou—the orphan of a divine lineage who has become a world-destroying demon—after being "mission-based" harmed by her and having his limbs regenerated a hundred times.

Sweet moments will make you smile like a doting aunt, heart-wrenching moments will bring tears to your eyes, and the happy ending is incredibly sweet!

    These are all ensemble novels, and they're all super good! The first one has a female lead and no romantic partner; it's a lighthearted and funny story with great relationships within the sect. Later on, some characters become more melancholic. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍 The second one has a female lead with a romantic partner, but they don't appear much in the first half. Later, an unknown sect rises to prominence and creates many legends, but the disciples rarely gather together and spend a lot of time apart. 😢 Of course, there are also some very funny and silly characters. 👍👍👍 If you mind if there's a romantic partner, you can read the first half. The third one has no romantic partner and is lighthearted and funny. The female lead starts by deceiving someone and ends up with a master. 😂 The master's storyline becomes somewhat sad, and the female lead's storyline is also quite pitiful. She has many past lives paving the way to overthrow the Heavenly Dao; you can read the book to find out the specific reasons. The third one does have a romantic partner, but this one is a bit angsty. It's an ensemble novel where many characters die or are injured in the end… 😢😢😢😢 If you can't handle angst, you can skip this one. I'm still reading the fourth book, but I still want to recommend it because it's really good!!! The female lead is a junior martial arts master who seems frail. Although she has a system, as you read on, her cheat ability is always herself. The plot is very tight, and the characters are all well-developed. It's a rare gem of a novel! 💕💕💕💕

    All the recommendations are ones I've thoroughly read! "A Millennium of Chinese History Recreated Within a Square Inch" ([Tianyi]) - I've read 600 chapters. A new plot mode, a good book whose title doesn't do it justice! [New Setting] [Heroic Chess Battle] Possibly the pioneer of this genre by Tomato (I'm open to criticism if I'm wrong). The plot is rich and strongly related to history, but it's not confined to historical timelines. Readers can fully immerse themselves in the story and imagine what a magnificent scene they would create if they were in Tomato's shoes! Synopsis: When chess meets hero battles! When civilizations collide, do you dare to challenge Tomato? Zhuge Yi, a time traveler, discovers that while modern China is prosperous and powerful, it knows nothing about its own history. "Tianyi" is a chess game centered on heroes and commoners, becoming a global mainstream. At that time, the Chinese chess world was weak, while Western chess styles dominated. Chinese chess players could only painstakingly trace the footsteps of historical heroes through decades of exploration, while the Western chess world could easily crush China by following established methods. Thus, the "Western supremacy" mentality began to flourish, Chinese chess academies declined, and Western-style chess clubs proliferated. Finally, Zhuge Liang emerged, and the chess world changed dramatically! With a single move, Confucius's words dispelled the false gods; as the tide turned, the Han emperor ascended the heights and sang the Great Wind. In the blink of an eye, the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties vied for supremacy, shaping China; black and white turned, and the Hundred Schools of Thought—Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism—contested, displaying their brilliance. As the curtain falls, what kind of world is this? Why do chess players hold such a high status beneath the heavens, and what secrets lie above the heavens? We invite you to enter the chessboard, join Xuan Chen in composing "The Heavenly Chess," and contend with the heavens.
