    "Sorry everyone," Li Quan handed over the blindfolds, "The rest of the trip needs to be kept secret, so you'll have to wear them for now. You can take them off when we get there." The four men exchanged glances. Xiao Wang took the blindfold, touched it, and muttered, "This feels like a spy rendezvous…" Xiao Zhang was a little uneasy: "Brother Zhou, this…" Zhou Lei gritted his teeth and was the first to put on the blindfold: "Go ahead! Brother Li Quan won't harm us." He was actually a little worried, but thinking of his father's decades-long friendship with Li Hengwen, he chose to trust him. Seeing that the leader had put on the blindfold, the other three had no choice but to follow suit. After all four men had put on the blindfolds, everything went completely dark. Shen Ling took out the Golden Eagle Token from her bosom. She walked up to Zhou Lei first and put the token in his hand: "Brother Zhou Lei, hold this tight, don't let go." Zhou Lei felt a chill in his hand as he grasped a metal object. Before he could think further, he felt someone tugging at his clothes. "Return to the Void, Reverse the Flow of Light." Shen Ling silently chanted the incantation, and the Golden Eagle Token flashed— Zhou Lei felt his body lighten, as if he had instantly lost weight, and then quickly landed. The whole process took less than two seconds. "You can take off your blindfold now." Shen Ling's voice rang in his ears. Zhou Lei hurriedly pulled off his blindfold, and the scene before him left him dumbfounded. He was standing in a spacious, ancient-style flower hall! The hall was exquisitely furnished: rosewood tables and chairs, ink paintings of landscapes on the walls, porcelain and jade artifacts displayed on the curio cabinet, and intricately carved window frames. Outside the hall was a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, and in the distance, the outlines of buildings with upturned eaves could be seen. "This... Where is this?" Zhou Lei's voice was a little dry. At this moment, Li Quan also came over and put his arm around his shoulder: "This is the film and television base." Zhou Lei opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but didn't know where to begin. At this time, Shen Ling had already returned to the modern world; she was going to pick up the second person. The second person brought was Xiao Zhang. After the young man took off his blindfold, his eyes widened in disbelief: "My God! This is so realistic! The architecture, the furnishings... How much money must have been spent!"

    A super long book list recommendation. I've found many great books here over time, both ongoing and completed. I'll mainly introduce the particularly exciting aspects of these books & the character development of the female characters. 1. A recent favorite: I'd never read a Three Kingdoms novel before, but this one kept me hooked. The female lead's ability to recruit subordinates is almost 1v1, with characters like Cai Zhaoji, Diao Chan, and female generals. The author also created original female characters, and the plot is very well-structured. [Admiration][Admiration] Set during the Three Kingdoms period, the female lead enters the Central Plains as a legitimate woman, controlling You, Qing, and Ji provinces. She initially disguises herself as a man, but after winning over her core subordinates, she reveals her true identity and wins their complete submission. The author writes this particularly well and smoothly. 2. Ongoing: A four-person protagonist group, three women and one man, all ruthless and taciturn. I haven't read such a smooth (road trip?) Survival novel in a long time. The city-based scenario is truly brilliant. The main characters have great chemistry; they cooperate to overcome difficulties, remaining calm and restrained while caring for each other. The team has a strong sense of kinship, even stronger than family, which is truly wonderful. A very exciting combination of female-only romance, intellectual battles, infinite flow, survival game, ensemble cast, and a villainous squad. Those who enjoy this genre should definitely give it a try. 3. Ongoing, the female lead becomes the undisputed base captain thanks to her water-based superpowers and leadership qualities. The book's concept of power upgrades is particularly brilliant and unique. Superpowers don't arise out of thin air, techniques aren't fabricated, and everything relies on [objects] and [imagination] to achieve upgrades and breakthroughs. The author's conception and deconstruction of superpowers are excellent. The portrayal of both male and female characters is also well-balanced; looking forward to future developments. 4. Ongoing, female-only romance + ancient infinite flow!! Who knows? This is the first time I've seen an infinite flow novel with an ancient setting, and it's completely original and each story is unique and exciting. Some dungeons are purely ancient, while others combine ancient and supernatural abilities. The battles of wits and courage in each dungeon are absolutely amazing. Moreover, the dungeons all have strong metaphorical meanings, and the bosses in different dungeons (the matriarch, the porcelain maker, the God of Wealth) are basically all female characters! [Sending hearts][Sending hearts] Completely female-centric, the female characters each have their own image and charm. The positive character descriptions throughout the text are always "they," and the negative ones are always "they." 5. So many people have recommended it, I don't need to say more. You can check out other people's introductions. This is also an absolute favorite of mine, and its place in my heart is irreplaceable. 6. Serialized, female protagonist without a romantic partner, updates are slow but it's very long, enter with caution. Western fantasy academy + disguised noble + female protagonist fortune teller + micro-group portrait? + Path to godhood. The female protagonist's personal charm is very strong [Cool][Cool] Reading this book is like witnessing the female protagonist collecting subordinates, improving her abilities, and vying for divine power step by step. I'm really looking forward to the future development. I especially love the academy content and the female lead's unique Eastern aristocratic temperament. It's absolutely stunning in a Western fantasy setting; she's so charismatic! 7. Completed, with a romantic pairing. A space-themed mecha military academy novel with lots of science fiction elements, reminiscent of *The Three-Body Problem*. Science fiction fans shouldn't miss it, especially since this one combines space exploration with an ensemble cast! The book features many outstanding female characters; the female lead is intelligent and witty, especially interesting [smirk]. And the romance is surprisingly well-written. 8. Completed, perhaps not entirely without a romantic pairing? In the end, the female lead becomes a powerful minister, not marrying anyone, but she has a close male friend. It started strong but the ending was too abrupt. I suggest stopping after the female lead becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination. The main content of the early and middle stages is academy studies, polo matches, and the imperial examinations. [Heart emoji] The time spent studying at the academy was pure and beautiful, the polo matches were exciting and thrilling, and the imperial examinations were a journey of continuous learning and advancement. These parts were all well-written. Later, after the characters were assigned to local official positions, I stopped reading to focus on other novels. [Face emoji] It ended quickly, and the character rose to become a powerful minister. The book features many female characters' growth and development, and the excellent guidance of female elders, but there are also some stereotypical female villains, which is a downside. Otherwise, it's very good. The main problem is that there are too few novels focusing on women, the imperial examinations, and a group of academy characters. There are several more that I can't introduce all of; I'll put them in the comments section when I have the chance.

    Reader note

    A super long book list recommendation! I've found many great books here over time, both ongoing and completed. I'll mainly introduce the particularly exciting aspects and the character development of the female characters. 1. A recent favorite: I'd never read a Three Kingdoms novel before, but this one kept me hooked. The female lead's ability to recruit subordinates is almost entirely 1v1, featuring characters like Cai Zhaoji, Diao Chan, and female generals. The author also created original female characters, and the plot is very well-structured. 🥰🥰 Set during the Three Kingdoms period, the female lead enters the Central Plains as a legitimate woman, controlling You, Qing, and Ji provinces. She initially disguises herself as a man, but after winning over her core subordinates, she reveals her true identity and wins their complete submission. The author writes this particularly well and smoothly. 2. An ongoing series: A four-person protagonist group—three women and one man—all ruthless and taciturn. I haven't read such a smooth (road trip?) Survival novel in a long time. The city-based setting is truly brilliant. The main characters have great chemistry; they cooperate to overcome difficulties, remaining calm and restrained while caring for each other. 😘😘 The team has a strong sense of kinship, "more than family," which is truly wonderful. A very exciting combination of female-centric, no-romance, intellectual battles, infinite flow, survival game, ensemble cast, and a villainous squad. Those who enjoy this genre should definitely give it a try. 3. Ongoing, the female lead, with her water-based superpowers and leadership qualities, becomes the undisputed base captain. The book's concept of power upgrades is particularly brilliant and unique. Superpowers don't arise out of thin air, techniques aren't fabricated, and everything relies on [objects] and [imagination] to achieve upgrades and breakthroughs. The author's conception and deconstruction of superpowers are excellent. The portrayal of both male and female characters is also well-balanced. Looking forward to future developments. 4. Ongoing, female-centric, no-romance + ancient infinite flow!! Who knows? This is the first time I've seen an infinite flow novel specifically set in ancient times, and it's completely original, with each story having its own unique brilliance. Some dungeons are purely ancient, while others combine ancient elements with supernatural abilities. The battles of wits and courage within each dungeon are absolutely amazing. Moreover, the dungeons all have strong metaphorical meanings, and the bosses in different dungeons (the matriarch, the porcelain maker, the God of Wealth) are almost all female characters! 💕💕 Completely female-centric, with each female character possessing her own distinct image and charm. Positive character descriptions throughout the text use "they" by default, while negative ones use "they." 5. So many people have recommended it, I don't need to say more. You can check out other people's introductions; this is absolutely my absolute favorite, irreplaceable in my heart. 6. Serialized, female protagonist with no romantic pairing, slow updates but very substantial content, proceed with caution. Western fantasy academy + disguised noble + female protagonist a fortune teller + micro-ensemble cast? + Path to godhood. The female protagonist's personal charm is extremely strong 😎😎 Reading this book is like witnessing the female protagonist gradually gather subordinates, improve her abilities, and vie for divine power. I'm really looking forward to the future development. I especially love the academy content and the female lead's unique Eastern aristocratic temperament. It's absolutely stunning in a Western fantasy setting; she's so charismatic! 7. Completed, with a romantic pairing. A space-themed mecha military academy novel with lots of science fiction elements, reminiscent of *The Three-Body Problem*. Science fiction fans shouldn't miss it, especially since this one combines space exploration with an ensemble cast! The book features many well-developed female characters; the female lead is intelligent and witty, especially interesting 🤭 and the romance is surprisingly well-written. 8. Completed, perhaps not entirely without a romantic pairing? In the end, the female lead becomes a powerful minister, not marrying anyone, but she has a close male friend. It started strong and improved, but the ending was too abrupt. I suggest stopping after the female lead becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination. The early and middle parts mainly consist of academy studies, polo matches, and the imperial examinations. 💕💕 The time spent studying at the academy was pure and beautiful, the polo matches were incredibly exciting and intense, and the imperial examinations saw the protagonist steadily rise through the ranks, all of which were well-written. Later, after being assigned to a local official position, I stopped reading to focus on another story 🤦 and it ended quickly, with the protagonist rising to a powerful minister. The book features many female characters' growth and development, and the excellent guidance of female elders, but there are also some stereotypical female villains, which is a downside. Otherwise, it's very good. The main issue is that there aren't many stories focusing on women, the imperial examinations, and a group of academy characters. There are several other books I can't review all of them; I'll add them in the comments section when I have the chance.
