Purely personal taste. I love stories with an actual plot that aren't brainless. Let me sneak in a personal favorite: my top recommendation is One Mountain Cannot Hold Two Peerless Beauties.
Female Lead Growth Stories
Mostly yuri, with a few no-CP stories and a very small number of female-led romances with barely any romance (included because the stories are great and the romance takes up little space). Strong focus on careers and plot.

Good.
Women-Dominated Yuri
Stop saying Jinjiang only has one yuri novel with a female-dominated society.

Belated affection is worse than grass. The happy and happy ending is the beautiful and happy ending for Chu. Career and love will both be harvested. The prodigal son will come back. If he no longer wants to pursue a career but wants to fall in love, there will always be someone waiting for him. Before the comments were deleted, some readers believed that Chu Jun was a wise man who did not play with power. Saying that an emperor who was extremely controlling and excelled in every aspect of his power over his subordinates did not play with power, why don't you look at the people in history who have the reputation of being a wise emperor? Only Chu Jun is the white lotus among emperors? Didn't Chu Jun also acquiesce after knowing that Qingping was deceived by Xie Qi into sending an envoy? After all, sending Li Qingping to the Golden Tent would make Chu Jun's coup smoother and smoother. But when Chu Jun came back from rebirth, he still let Qingping go despite knowing that Ding Qian was in the envoy team and the mission would definitely suffer disaster. Sure enough, except for Qingping, who was rescued by Wu Ying, everyone else in the mission was dead, and they were also charged with treason. If Wu Ying hadn't waited for Chu Jun's men to complete their mission and then rescued Li Qingping, Li Qingping would have been skinned long ago. Although in the last scene, Li Qingping saved the day and didn't die, it didn't seem serious, but in reality? Li Qingping could die at any time on the way to escape on the Erlan grassland, and the plot of the Golden Account was unbearable to dwell on. In the Battle of Yunzhou, the massacre of the city could have been avoided. I exchanged a city's people for the victory of the war. I can't understand that the big chess party can recognize it. Fighting back and forth to death is better than being sent out directly to be used as a human head as bait. At that time, many comments were still being written in the chapter. Chu Jun himself told Li Qingping that people should not be too emotional. The so-called kindness only needs to repay the kindness without repaying the kindness. As a result, she went back on her word. In the novel, it is forced love, but in the larger version, it is sexual exploitation by the privileged class. Not only does Li Qingping have to dedicate himself to the Chu family, but he also has to give in to everything he wants emotionally and physically. With the ambition of serving the people, Li Qingping traveled around for many years. As a chess piece, he balanced the party and government for Chu Jun and eradicated dissidents. In terms of intelligence, he was not inferior to the reborn Chu Jun. Did anyone remember what Qingping did when he was cleaning up Chu Jun? Only Chu Jun's ambition is ambition, which is the world's pattern and family and country affairs. He uses everything around him to win the reputation of the master of ZTE in the comment area. And what about Li Qingping? It's just that I almost died several times. After doing so many things, my achievements as a criminal were reduced to zero. Almost all the people close to me in my social network died. There is not only a class imbalance between Li Qingping and Chu Jun, but also personality imbalance. In this relationship, Li Qingping is more emotional and weak. In the eyes of many readers, as long as Chu Jun is charming, the suffering Li Qingping suffered directly and indirectly because of her can be forgiven. It is not much different from the male and female protagonists in some romance novels. The plot of Cang Mang is very well written, but the main cp emotional line is much inferior in comparison. I am not an audience for forced love, and I also hate the word sexual tension. In this article, especially after Yunzhou returned four years ago, many conceptual conflicts between the two are resolved through the sexual tension that some readers love. Afterwards, no matter how big the conflict is after sex, Li Qingping seems to have lost his memory. Very serious things suddenly become less serious, but the essence does not solve the problem. In this relationship, Li Qingping fell in love more deeply, had a lower status, and was not as cruel as Chu Jun. He spent his whole life wandering around, separated from his relatives and friends, and finally became clear and hidden in the market. Except for Chu Jun, who came late, he had nothing. The indifferent desire for power that Chu Jun mentioned above means that being the emperor in his previous life was not enough. After being the emperor for more than ten years in this life, is he finally willing to let it go? Do you really believe that she let it go? It's just a matter of listening to politics behind the curtain, but Chu Jun was enough of the emperor, she wanted love, and he still gave her a good ending. Many things cannot be made up for later, let alone Chu Jun's perfection, so she should die alone and be nothing more than a selfish ghost with a halo in this relationship.
A happy ending that bridges the gap between the two people after more than ten years of separation. Rather than saying that those suspicions and resentments have been relieved, it is better to say that the years have buried the unbearable past, and the past feelings that emerge from time to time have remained fresh through repeated review. The trade-off between gain and loss almost runs through the story line. Chu Han mostly makes active choices, while Qingping can only passively accept it due to his identity and situation. After resurrecting his life, Chu Jun was familiar with the road, at least until he asked for the life pill. Although it is not known whether Chu Han personally visited the Golden Account in the previous life and how he obtained the Life Pill, it is obvious that Qingping, an unexpected person who did not exist, caused changes in the situation. Exchange the small for the large, which is the best. Not only could Chu Chen not be able to distinguish the truth from falsehood, he also didn't believe in the sincerity that Qing Ping praised. So she just kept silent, adding fuel to the fire and acquiescing to Qingping to join the mission on her behalf. Of course, from the perspective of others, Chu Han's decision is blameless. The abandonment of just one county in Anping is infinitely better than the situation in the last generation when wars ravaged six states. It's just a pity that trust, the most important thing that maintains their relationship, is like jade, it can never go back to its original state after being broken. As a wanderer in a foreign land, Qingping was sold as a servant and had no one to rely on but himself. Entering the official school, going to Yunzhou, being promoted to minister, and even being saved by Wu Ying, these blessings of fate cannot be refused, and then taking the corresponding price on his own initiative also pushes Qingping to move forward without stopping. Being loyal to others is a matter of responsibility. Outside of responsibilities, we should do things that we should not do, things that we should not do, and things that no one dares to do. This is to repay kindness, repay love, and fulfill righteousness. The rare sword sharpened by Qingping, with these complicated reasons, pointed at Chenzhou forever, cutting off the most stubborn and stubborn disease in this land, and protecting the lives of the detained officials. Transparency and kindness are the foundation of Qingping's character. The empty-handed Qingping when she was young overlaps with the Qingping who has only a sleeve of breeze left in her thirties. The passage of time and the change of things and human beings left by the years cannot stop her return. The dust has settled, the sun and moon rotate, spring passes and autumn comes. If we are separated for more than ten years and still have a trace of lovesickness, why not let go of grudges with a smile. Just think that the person who knocked on the courtyard door alone on a snowy night was just an ordinary person who had given up the responsibilities of the world and came to visit his old friend after leaving behind his own past and present.
In 2020, I came across this article. But I was young at the time, so I couldn't finish reading it, and I didn't finish it until today in 2025. When I read it again, I felt that every word was scratched in my heart. (The seal was so cute 7 years ago. Who would have expected that he would be exhausted physically and mentally after logging off Weibo... In real life...) What saddens me the most is that Chu Han understood Qingping from the beginning, but he never stood in her perspective and thought about her. Chu Han, do you still remember what you said? "In her heart, I'm afraid there is no distinction between master and servant; in her eyes, there is probably no difference between you and me. No matter who was in the fire that day, she would have saved it." You knew what Qingping was yearning for from the beginning, didn't you? But you are an emperor. "From the past to the present and the future. Her name will be engraved in immortal history and left to be sung by future generations. This is her innate responsibility, and it is the place for which she is not afraid of death. She will protect this land until the last moment of her life." So you can't give Qingping what he wants, and you won't give it either. But why don't you think about it, isn't it her equal and bright heart that attracted you to Qingping from the very beginning? If she was self-interested, greedy and afraid of death, maybe you wouldn't choose her. But she is not. You know her, you know what path her temperament will choose, so you let her stay by your side, you make her fall in love with you, and you let her seek life pills for you to explore the shocking place in Chenzhou. But you also forgot that she is also a living person, she is not your pawn. When she was young, she wanted to see the world. After seeking fame, she cared about the people. Her heart is always bright and gentle as jade. "If I really love someone, I will believe him, love him, respect him, respect him, and let him have whatever he wants, whatever I have." You know that she is a bird, but you naively think that you are her god. Because of this, you underestimated people's emotions from the beginning. You didn't believe in the depth of affection, so you sacrificed your life to drag Qingping into the situation. You knew that her repeated gratitude was not an empty promise, and you also acquiesced in her going to Xirong. Maybe you thought that this trip could help her accumulate prestige. But why aren't you tired? You underestimated her affection, but you did yourself a disservice. You know that you are an emperor, and if you make a choice a thousand times or ten thousand times, you will eventually take the same path. Even the final glory is just the rush after finishing the world. But why don't you feel pain? I think, since you know what an equal and bright person Qingping is, you don't know how to truly get along with Qingping. You just need to put aside your identity and be with her as a true equal. But you happen to be on the throne of the emperor, surrounded by wolves, so you can only continue to use Qingping as a chess piece. You just have to wait for it to be over before you run to her. You think, you are for the world. But how can you swear that the world will be peaceful for a hundred years after you? The ups and downs are endless, and life is short and ethereal. Qingping dedicates his life to you, and you dedicate his life to the world. But in this world, it is unknown how much possessiveness you have sprouted from your long reign as emperor. Good thing you finally let it go. If it is for possession, you will not look for an old friend. Like the late emperor, you will be obsessed with the path to immortality and seek to gain power and stability. At least you end up doing it for love. [Red heart]
I really can't stand some of the comments. I hate a character and then insult all the readers who like this character, and use bullshit reasoning to attribute all the mistakes to Chu Hao (the mistake here does not refer to the fault between Qingping and Chu Hao, the only pure fault between the two of them is Chu Hao. It refers to It is the departure and regret of some people in the whole book) In the end, even without Li Qingping, Wu Ying was on the wrong team and involved in a major situation. Yan Jinghan took the path given by Bahuang. When the overall situation is decided, wouldn't they have died? Wouldn't Anping County have fallen without Chu Jun? In fact, without Chu Jun, more people would have died. After all, there are only so many things that human power can change, and many things are certain, so why blame one person. Some people are saying that it is like Chu Jun designed to make Wu Yingyan shocked to death and Anping County fell, just like deliberately playing power, devaluing other people's aspirations of He Qing Haiyan and world peace as worthless. If there is a debt of affection, it is said that there is a debt of affection. It is rare to blame all regrets on one person at once. We, Chu Jun, will not bear the blame.
The emotional line is a bit blurry. There is too little communication between the two. Most of the time it is done in bed. It is understandable. After all, we are monarchs and ministers. It is difficult to truly confide in each other. Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. As a monarch who has been killed once, Chu Han is destined to be on guard against everyone around him. However, it is undeniable that the plot and writing style of this book are both top-notch in the Lily District. Even though the expression of the case of Biluo City is a bit confusing and confusing, I have to read it several times, but the shortcomings are not concealed. The overall rhythm is still good, especially in the early and middle periods. At the end, I thought that according to the setting of the main cp, BE would bring the article to a new height, but in the end I couldn't bear it (if this was a BE article, I wouldn't have clicked in at the beginning) Chu Jun was born to be a king. She is a wise king. She has mastered the art of the emperor. She has the world in mind. She has a dark hole and a candle far away. She selects talents and uses ruthless methods. She endures humiliation and bears the burden. She pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. The most exciting plot in this book is what she gave. She thought that after she ascended the throne, her dealings with her mother and emperor sister ended, everything would be settled. But in fact, like every new dynasty established in history, there is peace on the surface, but undercurrents are surging, and it is difficult to move forward. It can be said that after ascending the throne, Chu Han's game of chess was only half won. Chu Hao was moved without knowing it and treated Qing Ping as a pawn. I think the biggest abuse point is that Chu Hao did not trust Qing Ping. When I realized this fact, I really felt that it was not worth it for Qing Ping. I had paid so much and suffered so much in Xirong. "I turned back and wanted to live and die with you." When Qing Ping said this, Chu Hao had not realized that Qing Ping loved her. It was too slow. Such a smart Chu Hao was so insensitive to feelings. To put it nicely, she is too far-sighted. She is wary of everyone around her. That's right. Being a monarch is like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you take a wrong step without paying attention, you will be shattered into pieces in the abyss. How can she not be careful? How can she not be suspicious? What's more, Qingping is also surnamed Li. One of the many aristocratic families in Bahuang is also surnamed Li. When Chu Fan finally wakes up, Qingping is already disheartened and can no longer believe her. It's so sad. Chu Hao came to Qingping after he faked his death. Qingping's first thought was why she came to him. Is there anything else he could do for her or be used by her? It was very heartbreaking. Chu Hao's muttering to himself and explaining his sincerity all seemed so weak and pale. In the end, the two of them had never trusted each other. So I think Chu Han, who hurt Qingping so deeply, doesn't deserve such a happy ending. She should live alone forever, trapped in the palace and never be free. Qingping can meet a good person who didn't take advantage of him and treat him sincerely from the beginning. It's such a painful ending, but this is indeed more profound, and it's not a deliberate pursuit of be. Having said that, the author is still very considerate of the battered Jun Ping and the readers, and still gave them a happy ending, but they are also he. Many other supporting characters did not die well. I was not particularly sad when Wu Ying just died, but then Qing Ping's words "lost close friends" made me burst into tears. Yes, Wu Ying is really good. If Wu Ying didn't rely on the secret guards sent by Chu Jun, I'm afraid there would only be one corpse left when Qing Ping was found. Wu Ying gave her life to protect Qingping. What a deep friendship this is! And what are you, Chu Han, doing at the moment? You are seizing the country. Between the country and the beauty, you choose the country. This is your responsibility, and only you can bear this responsibility. In that case, why don't you want to let the beauty go? You want to catch both of them. You are really greedy. "In front of this official, I am always more discouraged. The officialdom is unpredictable, and my close friends are scattered. I really have no energy to hold on anymore." Chu Jun, Qingping has been led by you all his life. She is your chess piece or an abandoned piece. Why do you want her to be your wife? Qingping can't do anything. She is always the one in the game and can only let you defeat her.
Chu Hao is difficult to evaluate, not in a bad way, but literally. She is worthy of the country, but she is sorry for Qingping. She owes her nothing in her lifetime. As a comment above said, has Chu Hao lost anything from the beginning to the end? No. In her next life, she strategized and calculated everyone equally. She has achieved both career and love. She has no intention of repenting and never feels that she is wrong. She has never apologized or even comforted her. What about Qingping? She lost two close friends, lost her seniors who treated her well, lost her sincere heart and passion when she was young, watched her ideals being strangled by reality, worked as an official for half her life and finally found out that she was just an abandoned child, repeatedly used and abandoned by the people she loved... I find it incredible that Qingping didn't change his temperament drastically. I always wonder, when Qing Ping was tortured in Jin Zhang, picking her wounds again and again, and telling her name, didn't she hate it in her heart? Doesn't she really feel resentful after being used and abandoned again and again? But nowhere in the entire text does it clearly state whether there is utter hatred hidden in her eyes. (Chu Yan actually hates Qingping, which is in line with her self-centered temperament) I personally think that the best ending for the two of them should be that Chu Han continues to be her emperor, and Qingping continues to do what she wants. The two do not interfere with each other, but Chu Han still comes to find her. I have mixed emotions when watching this ending. Although I don't like to watch BE as I am older, I don't like this kind of HE either. This is unfair to Qingping, as if she really can't fly away.
When I first read the novel, I felt that Qingping was a bit too forbearing and too loving. I was almost broken when I read it. I felt that they were really inappropriate. Qingping gave too much and the relationship was too unequal. But after so many years, when I looked back, I felt that when it comes to love, if you want to pursue equality, you give half and I give half. This love Love cannot be talked about, Qingping loves Chu, and their separation is not in line with her true inner needs. Although it is very vulgar, I have to say that love is really a matter of knowing whether you are warm or cold. The final result meets your own needs. Don't be too serious. Relationships are inherently unfair and not a competition. You cannot treat it with a win-lose mentality.
When I read more than 100 chapters a few months ago, it should be Wu Ying who rescued Qingping? I can't remember it clearly, so I can't stand it. It's not that it doesn't read, but it feels too depressing, and I feel like Qingping is having a hard time. Every time I want to open this novel again, I will become sad with the memory of reading it before. And there were so many lock seals that I completely gave up the idea. I feel sorry for my own mentality. This must be a rare and good work, but I don't have the confidence to finish reading it. I don't know why, but even the slightest emotional fluctuation will make me cry. I can't see be, and I can't see he, who is full of pain. Qingping, Qingping.
I went to climb Mount Huashan the day before yesterday, and I was lucky enough to see the sea of clouds. The first thing I thought of was the title of this book. When Chu Jun climbed high, he was also thinking about the vast sea of clouds. Akui, where will we find you in the future555
When the bright moon comes out of Guanshan Mountain, you can see the vast sea of clouds. After watching it, I suddenly wanted to replay Ming Dynasty 1566. This article is not just about love, there is so much more. I admire the author. His first article was written in college, and he is very talented. I like the scenery described by the author, which coincides with his mood. Along the way, Qingping's growth and thinking about life. In the world of life, you are like a traveler from afar. What do you want, freedom, love, ambition, responsibility... These all vary from person to person. Different ways don't work together.
