I lean toward shou in CPJ. I love couples who are both deeply in love, and prefer romance without angst, especially when the gong pursues the shou. If the shou pursues the gong, the gong has to return his feelings. Even if he doesn't love him, he mustn't put the shou through too much angst.
Beautiful Male Leads, Male-Lead-Focused Preferred
A fan of handsome tops and strong bottoms. Handsome tops above all else. PS: I’m not particularly picky. Preferring tops or doting tops are just a bonus. Bottom fans, be warned before you dive into this list!
Great Reads I've Enjoyed Lately: Bottom-Focused
I can only accept tops who are completely faithful. I hope every author can write a one-of-a-kind bottom with their own charm, whether beautiful, handsome, cute, or muscular!
If I Get Into Historical BL, My Life Is Over
Control freaks and yumejoshi stay out. Violators will be executed immediately. I'll briefly note my deal-breakers, but this is fundamentally just a personal organizational list. I can't do anything about locked chapters at certain list levels, and I hate that book recommendations and completed-book ratings are linked.
Books with Great Plots and Romance
Some stories I really like, with great plots and couples who are a joy to ship. Both leads are completely smitten with each other (in a good way).
Historical Chinese BL
Peak perfection
The Years I Went Treasure-Hunting on Lǜjiāng (Mostly Obscure Reads)
A reading and ranting log by a picky but eclectic bookworm. I read both top-led and bottom-led stories. I prefer lighthearted reads that aren't dumbed down or mindless. Check out my other list for highly recommended serious stories!
Undeniably Great Wuxia
Both BL and BG.
Happily Ever After
I should read it again
Timeless Classics
Good old-school stories, though some may feel dated.
Wuxia Boys' Love
A roundup of gorgeous wuxia novels from Green River… Some are set in the jianghu, some in the imperial court.
Stories That Leave You in a Good Mood
Great reads I’ve enjoyed over the years and keep coming back to
Bedtime Listening
Bedtime reading only. No horror, no mind-bending plots, no melodramatic heartbreak. Just light, sweet stories to help me fall asleep.
Collection
A list of the ones I like.
A World of Irresistible Bottoms, Part Two
I'm not strongly particular. Adding recent reads: mild bottom preference, moderate bottom appreciation.
Historical
Some of my favorite historical danmei novels I've read
Ten Years of Reading: A Little of Everything (2)
I’ve reread every one of these at least once. I prefer plot-driven stories and leads who take the initiative in romance. There’s both BG and BL.
To Read Later
I'll catch up on them one by one. Can't believe it won't let me give them five stars - -‖
Apparently, He's a Tsundere Top
Collected from other people's recommendations. A bit of everything (there may be mistakes). Lots of tsundere and volatile tops (ratings are all over the place).
Clashing Swords and Blades: Roaming the World
Wuxia and xianxia: no cookie-cutter plots or terrible writing
Reading List Log
Recording the best books I read in 2015
Welcome to the Childhood Era of Chinese Danmei Web Novels
Ancient danmei novels published on Jinjiang before 2012. No personal ratings for these older works; this list is for exploration only. I couldn't give them five stars, so they're all rated four.
Chaste Tops
No unwanted seme pairings, no deal-breakers
My All-Time Favorites: Reread List
Everything here is something I've reread. There's romance, BL, fanfiction, no-CP, showbiz, sports, and top-focused stories. All are complete. Starting with these picks from my personal collection of 99 novels.

It's 2026 and Ji Qinglan is still hanging
Oh my god, even though Ji Qinglan is annoying, this hurts too much... And where is Ape Ahuan? The master has become a prisoner, how can the two little girls survive...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh since sincesssing me three or four follow-up chapters?
I remember this was the first book I read from beginning to end on this site. Before I read it this time, the last time I posted a review was 14 years ago. It's so emotional. Looking back now, I feel that Miao's character design has indeed shaped part of my aesthetics of paper characters, and Chun is the biggest surprise for me this time. I was too young at the time, and I didn't understand many of the psychological descriptions of Chun. His psychology is written very delicately and reasonably, and is highly consistent with his life trajectory. His avoidance and entanglement are actually due to the chronic illness left by his life experience. At the beginning of this article, he seems to have found a new home, and has integrated into the Demon Cult with his conscientious performance. However, in fact, his heart is still like a hollow bamboo, and he still maintains a rootless duckweed-like state. Fortunately, there is a wonderful thing. In terms of hardware, he is a comprehensive hexagonal warrior. On the emotional level, he goes straight forward almost from the beginning to the end, boldly showing love, stalking, and chasing after him. He fills Chun's body and heart with his endless passionate feelings. I couldn't help but feel oh my when I saw it. God, 14 years ago someone wrote an emotional line that can be summarized by the now-discussed sentence "Avoidant types need a lover they can't drive away", and they were written so well [Come on]. And the avoidant type in the last article also sincerely repaid his passionate feelings that were so heavy that he died of love to the lover he couldn't drive away. Well, some people say that the emotional line of Butter Cake is not well written, but I don't agree with it at all. 14 Years later, I am still as obsessed with the progress of their relationship as I was 14 years ago, and I can also taste the delicious food [milk tea] that I could not taste before.
This boss doesn't seem to have any bad qualities, but his strength and personality are perverted enough, and he feels quite difficult to fight. Among the people who fought against him in the previous generation, only the two elders are still alive. I wonder if he will come out to help the younger generation. But when it comes to saying a thousand words, you still have to fill the hole with cakes first [covering face, laughing and crying]
Although I don't like Ji Qinglan... But it really hurts to look at it...
This big boss... This big pit...! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This is an article I have read more than ten times. Can I still wait for the new playful series in my lifetime? I am willing to do anything if I am big enough qwq
The ancient pagoda of Nixi is rejuvenated. Wow~ This is my favorite part of the "Frozen Jianghu" series. I have read it five, six, seven or eight times, and I am so impressed~
I've finished reading it! ! Postscript: I feel like there are still a lot of great things to look forward to. I really hope that the "Frozen Jianghu" series can continue to be released.
