S-Tier Reading List (Updated Regularly)
I like books that combine good logic and good writing. Please recommend some to me too. Thanks!
44: Twenty Years of Reading, Gone in the Blink of an Eye
Mostly historical romance, with the occasional modern-day one.
Hidden Gems I Personally Love
My go-to list for finding stories. I've avoided the famous bestseller-chart titles and picked completed, lesser-known works. I'll keep adding ones I've read and enjoyed.
For Personal Use: Family, Child-Rearing, and Growth
Most of the kids are adults mentally but children physically, though there are also genuinely young kids. Reincarnated in the womb or transmigrated into another body, with growing-up and healing themes, and a serious tone.
A Grand Gift for the Emperors
Infrastructure-building, changing history, and spoilers broadcast on the sky screen. The whole point is to change history and create a better life. I only recommend stories I've finished and bought in full. I'll add more over time.
Ancient Court Politics
Both the male and female leads have viewpoint chapters, with a preference for serious drama. The romance line is relatively limited, ranging from romance to no-couple stories.
Reread Three Times: Quality Reads
I don't read bad endings. Everything I recommend is worth rereading, so if our tastes overlap, feel free to recommend something to me too.
A Rare Complete Read: A Mixed Bag by @Big Pot Rice
Stories that once passed you by. Hope to meet you again this cozy winter, with a stockpile of novels to enjoy.
Farming / Imperial Exams / Infrastructure Building
Stories about farming, food, adorable pets, cute kids, being doted on by everyone, imperial examinations, infrastructure, court politics, turning things over to the state, and spreading culture.

BG Stories I Like
Plot-focused, with a female lead who stands on her own. No putting the female lead through the wringer.
A Level-Ten Farming Fiction Fan
Broadly speaking, stories about farming, infrastructure building, food, and running a business. Any orientation is fine; if the author writes well, I can put up with any dealbreakers.
Crown Prince Rivalry and Imperial Examinations

I'm here to review it again. It's my favorite imperial examination essay.
I re-read Wenhuang and read it from the beginning. This article is so magical. There are no ups and downs in the plot. It is smooth and flowing, but I can still read it.
I like stories that are bland and don't rely on themselves. Some of the protagonists are ridiculously distracted.
It's so beautiful and so self-disciplined. The protagonist is not a genius. He has reached this point entirely due to his own efforts, self-discipline, perseverance, and caution. There is no shortcut to success, but few people can persist all the time. Luck also requires you to be able to grasp it.
I love this article so much. I have read the whole article several times. When will the author publish a new article?
Hahahahahahahaha the national football team has won the Hercules Cup many times [laughing and crying] hahahahaha suddenly turned into a fantasy novel [dog head]
Finished in one swipe. I have seen the results before. Due to various reasons, I only watched the beginning. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
Are there any other articles like this that you recommend? Not top-notch or stupid
A hundred years of life, in a blink of an eye!
I came across this novel by chance many years ago. Over the years, I clearly remember the protagonist's self-discipline efforts and have never forgotten this novel. Many years later, I deliberately made up for it and read it carefully again. This time I felt extremely sad for the death of relatives and friends around Qingyun. Watching familiar people leave one by one, I was extremely impressed. It seems that these things have not left any trace in my memory many years ago. I am very happy to accompany Qingyun through his entire life again. Thank you very much to the author for his great creation! ! !
