101 Ways to Turn the Tables on Someone Above Your Station
My list got shut down, which feels awful. So now I'm making a bit of a spectacle of it. These are all books with fairly low initial ratings; let's see how they develop from here.
Books I've Finished, All Highly Rated
Completed
I Love Feel-Good Reads, but I Don't Like Sugar-Free Cola
Romance. I like power fantasies where the heroine starts off in a tough spot and struggles to make it on her own. I enjoy transmigrate-into-a-book, reborn, and historical-era stories. No overpowered veterans steamrolling the beginner village.
Books I've Finished
I finished the whole novel and wanted to recommend it. If anyone shares my taste, I’d love a recommendation or two in return.
Currently Following (Includes Rants)
I'm an omnivore: I read BG, BL, and no-CP. The protagonists' values and the worldbuilding matter a lot to me.
Annual Reading List
I read all kinds of things, mainly BG and no-CP stories, with the occasional BL thrown in. I usually follow ongoing series, but if one goes on hiatus for a long time, I might lose interest and stop reading.
No Angst, No Dragging, Just Great Reads, Updated Regularly
Mostly romance, with stories set in the past, time-traveling from ancient times to the present, the future, and mysteries.
No CP or Little Romance, In My Opinion
This started out as a Mid-Autumn Festival task list, but now it's a collection of stories I personally think are good. They all have no romance, or are romance stories where dating isn't a major focus. I'll keep adding to it.
Independent Heroines
Mostly independent, self-reliant, career-driven protagonists. There may be no romance, or only a little.
Non-Fanfiction
Crime investigation, cultivation, an alternate ancient setting, star marks, sentinels and guides, magical girls, historical eras, fantasy and xuanhuan, modern competitive sports

After reading the whole book, I feel that the relationship between people is just like that. No matter who they are, there seems to be a layer between them, whether they are parents, children, or partners.
Ah Lu's next novel is "The Merchant's Daughter". Interested book friends can click and add it to your collection! The copy is here: (This article is also known as "The hero of the concubine's counterattack is my father" and "The heroine of the concubine's counterattack is my cousin") Shen Hui came from the Anlu Shen family, a well-known official family. Her grandfather was an official of the third rank in Gansu and Shaanxi Province. His eldest uncle won the imperial examination and was quite famous. His second uncle became a scholar and married a noble girl. They are the only ones who have three wives. Their father is a concubine and only has the reputation of being a scholar. Their mother is a concubine and is not valued by her grandfather. Although her brother has great ideas, he is still too young. When their grandfather was alive, they could still lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. After his grandfather died, the three-bedroom family property received the least share. For the sake of the family, my father had to abandon Confucianism and become a businessman. The family gradually became more prosperous, but the third family was looked down upon by the clan members, who despised them for being contaminated by the smell of copper and tarnishing the lintel of the Shen family. But Shen Hui thought that it didn't matter whether others looked up to her or not. Living comfortably at home was better than anything else! However, it was difficult for her to think about her own little life. Her great-grandmother passed away, her husband-in-law showed up, her eldest cousin favored him, her second cousin regarded him as a piece of cake, and her fourth cousin secretly poached him. Shen Hui sighed inwardly: Guys, please continue, I just want to watch the show, don't drag me into the game!
+1 For a great article written in one go. The article always has a unique narrative style and a sense of fate. It's so beautiful and I like it. Please continue to create good works~
I like the big words, the writing is delicate, the water flows smoothly, it's beautiful!
No wonder Miss Dong is so soft, not like the powerful people in her family. It turns out that she grew up in a small place and environment when she was a child.
This is a masterpiece of farming literature with the core of the social class rising through farming, reading and passing down family traditions. First of all, its main plot is not a specific house fight or power plot, but the long process of how a refugee family, with the efforts of one generation or even several generations, establishes its foothold and straightens its back bit by bit. This steady narrative rhythm may be considered dull by some, but it is precisely the unique charm of the work. It does not pursue dramatic conflicts, but shows how a family accumulates strength, improves its life, and enhances its status bit by bit in daily trivial matters. This way of writing makes readers truly feel that the crossing of classes is never achieved overnight, but requires the continuous efforts of several generations. Secondly, the four words "Gengdu Renjia" contain profound cultural connotations. Farming to build one's body, reading to clear one's aspirations - this is the most respected ideal of civilians in traditional Chinese culture. Feng Li persisted in studying while making a living, and became an official in the imperial examination. This was exactly the life creed of "farming, studying and passing on the family". The novel is named after this, which just points out the work's affirmation of the traditional value of hard work and enterprising, and changing one's destiny through reading. "Farming" in the novel is not limited to farming, but generally refers to all ways of making a solid living; "reading" is not limited to imperial examination fame, but also an improvement in vision and structure. A real farmer and a scholar have both a material foundation and a spiritual pursuit. Once again, Yingniang's rebirth is not only to change her own destiny, but also to protect her family and help the family climb up. Although she is still young, she shows maturity beyond her years in terms of housekeeping, financial management, and dealing with others. Her self-reliance and self-improvement are not to achieve an earth-shattering career, but to live confidently and keep her true nature in ordinary life. In addition, the novel describes the coexistence of the harshness of the world and the tenderness of the world. Through the description of relatives and neighbors, the novel truly reproduces the warmth and warmth of human relationships in ancient urban society - there are good-hearted people who lend a helping hand in times of trouble, and there are also snobbish people who tend to follow others after they gain power; there are family ties that are thicker than water, and there are also calculations that are unjust for profit. In the process of climbing up, Yingniang's family not only enjoyed the warmth of human kindness, but also experienced the harshness of the world. This kind of realistic writing without filters makes the work more thick and real. In short, this novel reflects the author's consistent standards and is worth reading.
After finishing the pursuit, it was a bland article with no twists and turns, which was quite boring.
I haven't seen such a good article in a long time [hug the thigh][hug the thigh][hug the thigh]
The directory of the maidservants in the palace cannot be opened.
Why does the final extra episode feel like the sentences don't make sense?
