Good Reads I Love, A
Historical romance. Lots of melodrama; I prefer sweeping, fast-paced plots.

I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.
Into Brooding, Possessive Men and Faux-Incest Romance? Come On In!
I'm a fan of pseudo-incest, so here are some books in that genre I've read on Jinjiang. My reviews may be heavily influenced by personal preferences, so take them with a grain of salt.
Adoptive or Step Siblings, Uncles and Nieces, Fathers and Daughters, Masters and Disciples [Full Access]

Some Brother-Sister Stories (Purely Platonic)
I searched for brother-and-sister romances, and the first result was a BL list. I can’t take it anymore, so I’m making a pure romance list for stories I’ve read about non-blood-related adoptive siblings, pseudo-siblings, older men, and childhood sweethearts.

It is a very comfortable article. I read it in one sitting. The author has a strong grasp of the rhythm, his writing skills are mature and eye-catching, and his language and writing skills are also very good. It has a sense of ancient writing without the illusion of being modern! Pei You'an is completely unparalleled in the world of Mo Shangren Ruyu Gongzi, a literary character and a humble gentleman. Because she is a pure ancient heroine and not a time traveler. Zhen Jiafu's thoughts are in line with the moral standards of women of that era. I don't agree with the "beautiful wife" mentioned in the comment section. Apart from the male and female protagonists, my favorite is the old lady. She is neither humble nor arrogant, she is wise, sophisticated and has unique insights. She can always see things through to the sharp point and is very tolerant of the younger generation. I have read what she said to her son and daughter many times, and I especially like such an old lady. The scene where Zhen Jiafu resolutely went to the bitter cold place and smashed the letter on Pei Youan's face moved me deeply. Is this what love is probably like? We support each other and trust each other, and we are each other's most important people. There are no flaws, it's very fresh and I like it very much.
Jiafu and Youan should be happy in every time and space [please]
The male protagonist, the Great Bodhisattva The heroine loves her brother The emperor is an old dog
Afu and her eldest cousin want to be happy [hug]
And don't be too double-standard about Emperor Xiao Lie's status. If he loves someone, he can ignore his duty as an emperor to recruit heirs to the harem? Previously, Emperor Tianxi couldn't risk his life as an emperor, so he couldn't go to Ci'en Temple to accompany Wen Jing. A lot of people accused Xiao Lie of being infatuated, so he could ignore his responsibilities as an emperor? He is infatuated and can be understood no matter what he does? It's really funny. His infatuation was after his imperial power. At best, it was due to a combination of circumstances. At worst, if the late emperor had asked him to choose between the position of prince and Pei Wenjing, he would definitely choose the position of prince. Didn't he love to force his son to make choices again and again? Now that he is reborn, I really hope Seeing that he was asked to choose between the throne and Pei Wenjing, don't keep saying that he can give up his life. The throne may be more important to him than his life. Unfortunately, the author was not willing to let him choose. Instead, he made the son of the enemy, Pei You'an, give up his spirit/soul to fulfill his love. The author is also considered a biological mother to him.

Didn't he love to force his son to make choices again and again? Now that he is reborn, I really hope. I hope that he will be asked to choose between the throne and Pei Wenjing. Don't keep saying that he can give up his life. The throne may be more important to him than his life. Unfortunately, the author is not willing to let him choose. Instead, he makes the son of the enemy Pei You'an give up his soul to fulfill his love. The author is also considered a biological mother to him.
Seeing the person who cleared Xiao Lie's name, he actually said that Pei You'an's tragedy was not caused by him. It's really a bullshit. Even if they were in love at the beginning, he couldn't control his lower body and had a relationship with his sister-in-law and the queen before leaving at the end. As a result, Wen Jing was unable to get pregnant and had an abortion, so she had to give birth to You'an and died of hemorrhage. From then on, You'an started to have an illegitimate child. Wasn't this Xiao Lie's fault? Okay, let's not talk about this. He said that later he found out that the young emperor was still alive. He pretended to You An and said that it would be better to take Xiao Yu as a prince than to live in exile. Then he turned around and drove You An away to kill Xiao Yu. After You An pleaded guilty, he actually used his cousin and his cousin's family to threaten him in order to force him to reveal Xiao Yu's whereabouts. This is what I can't tolerate the most. Fortunately, Being resolved by You'an with the jade seal, Xiao Lie had no choice but to break the oath he made to his grandmother on her deathbed. He immediately told You'an about his life experience in vain, so You'an told him Xiao Yu's whereabouts, and then sent You An outside the Great Wall with his decisive words. At this point, in order to force You An to reveal Xiao Yu's whereabouts, did he treat him as a son? No, all he wants is absolute obedience to his imperial authority. Later, Xiao Yu took the initiative to surrender to Xiao Lie in order not to implicate You'an. He saw that Xiao Yu really had no intention of the throne, but he took advantage of this and planned early to force You'an to put Xiao Yu under house arrest again, but this time he exchanged Xiao Yu for establishing Ci'er as the emperor's grandson. In the end, he once again hypocritically said that he was willing to give up to Xiao Yu, but in fact he already knew Xiao Yu's choice when Xiao Yu came to him. This is the love of a father for his son. Anything short of calculation is calculation, so what qualifications do the spectators have to ask You An to recognize him? Pei You'an is a gentleman, but he is not a holy father. When Xiao Lie was dying, he told his cousin that he did not deserve such a son. He knew himself, so onlookers should not whitewash him.
Very good, he is not Xiao Lie's son after all. My cousin's parents are very good. From now on, I will live happily with my father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, and don't do anything for Xiao Lie anymore. He is not worthy of being a minister or a horse.
I finally finished reading it. My impetuous heart was deeply attracted by this article, and I read every chapter carefully.
Excellent work! Watched it several times. When will the author publish a new article?
