My tastes are all over the place. I read everything except Republican-era stories and yuri. Infinite-flow is my favorite, though this list has more than just infinite-flow. Everything is rated four stars because the site won't let me create a list with five-star ratings.

Books I Finished on Jinjiang Over the Years
I've been an avid reader for over ten years. Every book here gets five stars (even though I can't give them five anymore).
Women Disguised as Men
I check out any story where the heroine disguises herself as a man. I don't like her identity being exposed, so I drop the story as soon as that happens. My thing is male leads who agonize over it, then convince themselves they're gay. I can't stand delicate, fragile female characters who attract everyone.

There's flirtation, but it's not quite romance. The female lead prioritizes her career.

The male lead has to be a delicate, gorgeous beauty, or an obsessive little puppy!!! Historical or modern settings are both fine, but please don't recommend GB or male pregnancy. I still want something more traditional!

Jumping from 218 to the ending... As expected... The writing style is obviously "degraded" and the ending is unsatisfactory. The heroine deserves a better and broader sky, at least one that can make a difference in the follow-up. But... It seems that I can only stay in the deep palace. And... Why is the heroine's daughter ugly? It doesn't matter if the heroine dislikes her, why should the palace people have to gossip about her. The heroine belittles her daughter like this. Even if she doesn't want her child to be an emperor or her daughter to be a queen, why should she treat her with such an inexplicable attitude? And... Why do you want to portray your daughter as a "nymphomaniac"? Still a "nymphomaniac" with low looks I just have a cheap hand. When I was serializing, I felt that the mentality of the heroine was wrong and the direction of the trend was wrong. It happened that I was too lazy to wait for the update. After I gained weight, I looked at the catalog and knew that there was a knife, so I just waited to read it later. But I haven't been able to start. It should have been forgotten like other fattening articles, instead of wanting to read it every now and then, and then come here today. Absolutely no. Even if it stops at 218, why do we have to watch the ending like this? The male protagonist must be unclean and the female protagonist must be clean. If the logic is reasonable, I can barely accept it, but... …Forget it if the heroine's career is gone. Why belittle your own children! ! ! ! ! ! ! Tmd is still a girl. And the other boys who were not born to the heroine are still sensible, right?
Although I haven't fully subscribed, I have read about 80% of it. I feel that the characters in the author's article are quite distinct, but Mikazuki's character is really broken. How can a person who is so tolerant and has both intelligence and strength be so rough on the heroine? He has been observing the heroine for 3 years. Doesn't he know how to attack the heart? I feel that Mikazhi's existence is because the author has unified the thoughts of the male and female protagonists. There is no problem with being censored, but this character has internal contradictions. It is really uncomfortable to watch. Moreover, the character of the heroine is also a bit broken here. Oh, what can I say? I am upset. I feel like I have wasted my time reading these 2 million words.
I was recommended to read this book and was deeply moved after reading it. What I like most about it is that it's very real. Maybe this is why some book friends find it difficult to accept or feel that the relationship between the male and female protagonists is not perfect. But another outstanding part of this book is the plot, which is narrated against a complex and turbulent background. When talking about emotional drama, one must consider it in this context. Ying Ye could risk his own life for Tao Yao, but Murong Hong had a country that he couldn't help but defend. It was his brother who sacrificed his life for him to be a leisurely young man in Taohua Mountain. Chang'an's feelings for Murong Hong were ups and downs, some of which were unacceptable from a modern perspective, and some of which were mixed with the inability to control the situation at the height of intrigue. Therefore, the decisions they make in this environment are hardly arbitrary. It is this kind of reality that makes me feel very painful. With the pain, the characters in this book are no longer just paper figures, they are alive in my heart, as if they really exist in the world, crying and laughing. Chen Ruolin is also in my mind. Even though his feelings for Chang'an were not pure, the description before his death showed that he was somewhat sincere. However, he caused a lot of harm to Chang'an, and he was able to violate other women in front of the memorial tablet. Is this his fault? Certainly. But Chen Ruolin is also a patient. Wu Mei also said that he was worse off than Hong Mei, so Chang An couldn't let go of her guilt for him in the end. Chang An might have been able to save Chen Ruolin and slowly heal the effects of the disease, but she still chose Murong Hong. Because they both had a miserable childhood and were both isolated and helpless, Murong Hong's sincerity towards her was far inferior to Chen Ruolin's sincerity when he left Fuzhou. "The Husband", which Wumei spent two years carving out, really touched my heart. Wumei said that this book was about how difficult it is to fall in love. Yes, Wumei also wrote about how wonderful it is to fall in love. Ying Ye and Tao Yao, Zhang Junbai and Ji Qingtong, Tao Xingmei and Murong Hong, Hongyao and Chang'an... I shed tears, but I am no longer afraid of falling in love. And Xian Bao is indeed Xian Bao, and I think his ending is also very satisfying. I know that real life is already difficult, so everyone always likes to watch simple cookies, and like to watch the male and female protagonists being in love and united. In the framework of such a real and somewhat cruel story, I think Chang'an taught me to move forward bravely, and Murong Hong taught me to take and give up. Finally, I would like to thank Wu Mei for this story, which touched my emotional world that has not stirred for a long time. (Bow p. S. Can any readers tell me which article Mrs. Wu Mei said falling in love is not that difficult? Thank you very much!
Fully booked, so disappointed. I don't understand the point of the author destroying the character in order to force him to do it. Moreover, whether it is Murong Hong or Chang An, both are in a state of being whitewashed by mistresses, which makes people think of the early Qiong Yao drama, Heartbroken for Three Days
My three days! If you encounter sweet rain, you will live in peace for the rest of your life. I can even imagine the heroine letting go of the hero, slowly calming down the violent emotions of three days, giving birth to a child, and the family of three enjoying the mountains and sea in Fuzhou, wearing beautiful clothes and angry horses, feeling free and at ease.
The red medicine is a red lotus, which blooms tall and straight in the mud and is not stained by dust. Ying Ye and Tao Yao are the Overlord Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, and Chen Ruolin's ending is the saddest...
When I first read the article, I didn't want to read this extra chapter, so I didn't buy this chapter. After re-reading this book a few years later, I still liked it very much and was filled with emotion. I wanted to finish the whole story, so I ordered the last chapter and after reading a few pages, I realized... I still don't want to read the story of Zhong Xian and others! ! ! This is how the second male lead is. It's a pity to see him die alone, and it's not okay to see him with others. Let him belong to the readers, hahaha
I felt quite uncomfortable after reading this... I have written the third male lead to this point. What is there to love about the male lead?
After reading the whole book, I was in a daze for several days. I was so deeply involved in the book that my mind and dreams were filled with the storyline. After reading the book and reading the reviews, I became more and more obsessed with it. How many unflattering comments were made about different characters! When I'm in a daze, I don't dare to comment. Today I'm sober, so I'll tell you some of my thoughts on this book. Many people commented that because Chang An and Hongmei got back together, Chang An was not worth it. In fact, from the whole article, Changan is a definite winner in life! At the beginning, Chang'an gave me the impression of a naughty, selfish person who would risk everything for power. Her chatting up and teasing Zhong Xian and Hong Mei were all purposeful. Later, as she grew up, she gained a soul, a heart of great love, and the ability to love (not referring to rights, and she had love in her heart). And all of this stems from Hongmei. It was Hongmei who gave her the rights and the ability to love! She has someone who loves her in this life, a righteous life-and-death friend! With the emperor's heartfelt dependence and affection! Have a perfect lover! There is also love from two women! However, with every gain there must be a loss. Changan received so many emotions, but she only had one, and her response was limited, which resulted in so many shortcomings! I think it is inevitable that Chang'an will end up with Hongmei! Because Chang'an initially had all the beginnings of what it would become later on, it was inseparable from the support of Hongmei's rights. The two of them were smart, strategic, and courageous, and they were the most compatible partners in their careers! Hongmei gave Changan rights because she was his favorite. Among the three people who had emotional entanglements with Chang An, Hongmei was also the one who was most compatible with Chang An.
The plot part is really interesting and suspenseful, but the emotional part is a bit boring, mainly because of the heroine's character. She just thinks she's cute, makes jokes, teases people, and uses obscene language. But when I look at it, I think this character is really not cute at all. She always thinks about taking advantage of others and eating the second male lead. If the gender of the heroine were reversed, she would be a greasy and obscene man.
