Beautiful, strong, and tragic bottoms, lovesick bottoms, saintly bottoms, spoiled rich-lady bottoms who love making a fuss. I enjoy treating male characters like dolls. I can't guarantee the top is human, but I can guarantee the bottom is perfect. This is a personal reading list, not a recommendation list.
2026 Reading Log
My reading log on this site so far in 2026.
Free Tragic BL Stories: Reading Log
Angsty stories, but I'm too old for the kind that breaks your heart. I prefer mild angst and usually avoid stories where the top is a scumbag or abuses the bottom. I like plot-driven angst, and most of these have happy endings.
Books I’ve Checked Out
I read all sorts, depending on who fits my preferences. The most basic requirement is good writing.
Great Free Reads (Updated from Time to Time)
They're probably all decent. I haven't read some of them, either. They're free, so they all get five stars. This list is no help as a guide, so check the warnings before reading. My personal tastes are all over the place; I'll read anything.
Free-to-Read Novels
A record of the good BL novels I've read that are free to read. These reviews are purely based on my personal impressions, so apologies in advance.
Stories I Kept Reading
Books with an engaging plot that make you want to keep reading.
Free Reads
Some decent free stories I've read, both popular and obscure, in all kinds of genres. I'll keep adding more.
Drunk on Dreams of the World
Historical danmei about life at court, with lots of romance! I focus on the characters, worldbuilding, and pacing. I don't need much political intrigue, but I can't stand characters acting stupidly. Cat Claw has its own special charm~
Free Hidden Gems
Some pretty good free novels. I’m piling them up here for now; most are BL or have no CP. I’ll keep digging and write reviews little by little… (currently slacking off)
Novels I’ve Read~
Record
Completed Stories with Fewer Than 50,000 Favorites
Both BL and BG, I’ll read anything, really. For romance, I lean toward historical Chinese settings, palace and household intrigue, imperial examinations, and that sort of thing, but they’re not always from the female lead’s perspective. Danmei is even more varied.
Back to My Teenage Years on Jinjiang (BL)
Recommendations from a 30-year-old longtime reader. I can't stand today's rankings anymore. Old-school novels, great writing, strong stories, and a little of everything. Includes transmigrate into a book, quick transmigration, historical settings, and cultivation.
Fully Purchased, Rated 9 or Above: Bottom-Protagonist Stories, Part 1
It's been so long since I read many of these that I don't remember the plots, so I'm filling in the ratings first. I'll add comments as I reread them, though they'll be extremely subjective ramblings. I generally don't read alternate-universe stories.

Worth Subscribing to in Full, Never Gets Old
I buy as I read, which is a bad habit, and I love skipping chapters. I have bought several hundred novels, but very few have kept me from skipping a single chapter all the way through.

Great stories, read and enjoyed
Rereads from My 15 Years as a Reader
The more I read, the pickier I get (not saying I have sophisticated taste); all kinds of genres are mixed in here; I’m not particularly fixated on any one thing.

Like a romance that has been submerged. Very sophisticated writing style, the story develops in an era similar to the Ming Dynasty, focusing on the story of eunuchs and officialdom. The portrayal of the characters is very vivid and brilliant. There are many characters, but most of them only use a few words and incident selection to make each character's image and personality very vivid. At the same time, you can also get a glimpse of the outdated side of that era. Everyone looks at people with colored glasses. Eunuchs are high officials, but the literati look down on them, and the people also look down on them. The eunuchs themselves often look down on themselves, but at the same time they look down on prostitutes and actors. Everyone begs others not to look down on themselves because of their status, and at the same time they are looking down on others because of their status. They all look down on each other out of their own aloofness, showing sympathy for each other but looking down on each other. Being framed in a frame defined by social status makes people feel a little sad. What stands out to me most about Xiao Xie in this article is not that he always sticks to his heart, but that he has never been framed by these frameworks. I like the whole story of the article very much, it is like telling a story under the wheel of history. We are all imperfect and flawed people, and being an adult is no different from being a commoner. Even if Liao Jixiang is doing the most people thing, nothing has changed. Society has never changed due to temporary changes and has stubbornly followed its own course. If you look at the beginning and end of the article, a group of people sitting in official positions have changed, but the society seems to have not changed, and the people have not changed either. They respect all noble people, even if they are just drowned in the dust. Very sad background. I really like the early letters between the two of them. I feel a strong sense of confidant that I have never met before. The unexpressed emotions and thoughts are all condensed in those few pages of thin paper and a few simple lines of words. I long to be read and understood by another person, and I think that he will definitely understand. When watching it, I felt a very strong emotion coming over me. In fact, the person who misses the other person is probably because he has revealed a large part of his heart. My favorite characters are probably Zheng Xian and Jin Tang. Zheng Xian was really gorgeous when he first appeared, but the two sentences at the end seemed very pitiful. He seems to be always aloof, but in fact he still has low self-esteem. He is envious of Liao Jixiang and therefore jealous of Liao Jixiang. In fact, he just wants someone by his side who can love him and stand completely on his side. I feel that the eunuchs in the novel are a bit lacking in love. Perhaps it is due to their innate inferiority complex and they can give almost everything once they get something. What impressed me the most was the sentence: "Eunuchs are the most difficult to control, but if you can control them, they will cut off your head or even die for you." They don't like themselves, so they can sacrifice themselves. PS: Sometimes I feel that there are a little too many cars and that Liao is a little too soft. He has a strong heart and dares to sacrifice his life for righteousness. He has low self-esteem and is a little aloof and cannot be ashamed. So I feel that I suddenly soften next to Xie, a little too soft, too much wanting to get some comfort, but it feels just right next to He Mei. The other people's sex scenes weren't very soft, but when they came to him, they gave people a "delicate" feeling. There is one part that I read too fast and I didn't think about it carefully at first. Now that I think about it slowly, I can roughly understand: Why did Liao Jixiang's group of people commit suicide one after another before he was killed to be loyal to him, as if they just wanted to give him a little respect that was almost non-existent, alas.
I cried while watching it. Every pair of cps made people feel the pain of be. It can only be said that the eunuchs at that time were born at the wrong time and everyone suffered. And I was shocked that they pursued a deep love like moths to the flame. Fortunately, Liao Jixiang has Xie Yilu, who is crazy about love, and fortunately the ending is he. This article is so cruel that I can't bear to read it and put it down. What a great article!
I saw a comment by a sister before and thought it was very well written: "In addition to the protagonist, the whole supporting cast is a novel. Those who value love die for love, those who value righteousness die for righteousness, and those who are obsessed with power die for power. Liao Jixiang and Xie Yilu also lost everything in exchange for it. "In the long river, everyone is just a chess piece." It hurts so much. Thank you, the author, for bringing us such a good article with deep content and excellent writing. [Hug] [Cry] It only hurts a little bit when I read it. It was okay in the early stage, but every time a supporting character dies, my heart breaks again. It's so sad again. Those foreshadowings are like dense stitches buried in every dialogue and plot. No matter which chapter I click on, it's very sad. I can't be happy wherever I look [crying] [heartbreak] [heartbreak]
The stamina is so great that even though I only watched it once, I still remember the plot very firmly. I often start to automatically recall classic plots when I lie down and relax, whether they are good or bad.
They say Gong is a loser, but every time something happens, Gong will step forward.
So the monk who chants sutras for Wang Liuer is Meacha.
I always feel that Xie Yilu is quite useless. He is easily led by others, has no ability to resist, and is not tactful. He is a mediocre scholar, but when he looks at the back, he has to say that he is a true man who is infatuated!
I don't know what to say, it's like watching a drama come to an end, and they dispersed and left. A drama came to the end, and only the babbling words echoed for a long time.
In fact, it is also a change of attack in a certain sense. Suddenly, I found that Long Live Lord is still not suitable for us to cultivate spring.
Needless to say when you see this, the protagonists are a match made in heaven.
