Five-Star Ancient-Era Danmei Worth Rereading
Wuxia, fantasy, and court politics.
Gong-Protagonist Novel Recommendations
Looking for a little solace in my later years. Probably nothing that’ll set Jinjiang on fire. I prefer old-school danmei and happy endings.
Reading Log (Male Protagonist's Perspective)
Read these before
Gong-Centric, Strong Gong (Not Sure About the Rest)
I like strong tops, mutual pampering, and tops who dote on well-behaved bottoms. Dealbreakers: weak tops, harem-of-one, clones, and robotic characters. I'll ramble and complain below, and I'll delete any story I don't enjoy.
Historical Danmei Spotlight
I’m especially fond of ancient-setting danmei with political intrigue and a lighthearted tone. I have fairly high standards for the writing and plot.
Completed Top-Led Stories
A fan of protagonist-top stories (completed). I haven’t finished a lot of them, a common problem with following ongoing stories
My Top Picks for Seme Leads
Top-focused, strong leads, no pregnancy, and incredible writing. Most feature mutual pampering, though some have the top pampering the bottom.
Business, Infrastructure, and Farming
As the title says, there’s everything from danmei to straight romance to no-CP. These are all books I’ve finished.

I started watching "The Story of Xiliuwan" and "Taijia" in the afternoon. After reading it, I was already in the white of the East, like a dream. I closed my eyes and one by one the names flew past my eyes: Zhang Jiawen, Yang Zhouqing, these are new Story; Sun Xiong, He Xihua, Xuanyuan Yao; Queen Wensheng, Duke Yingchuan, Gu Jing, these are "Waiting for Others"; Gu Bing, Xuanyuan Zhaomin, these are imperial policies; Xiliuwan, Qinhuai River, Jinchuan River, these are Nanjing. These are familiar texts that I have read, and they have long been tied to my youth. The day I saw Di Ce seemed to be yesterday in the blink of an eye, and also seemed like a long, long time ago. Nanjing was just the provincial capital back then, but now I have stayed there for several years. For a moment, it seemed as if the past six years were flashing before my eyes. I have been watching Danmei for many years, and I have seen many amazing and stunning dramas in the past, but now they are all tears of the times. Suddenly I looked back and found that Danmei has been writing, which is really a great joy. Not to mention that when I first read "Emperor Ce Chen Gui" six years ago, I decided that no matter how many authors there are and how many works there are, only the big and powerful articles are the most satisfying. I shamelessly share my feelings. You can see the literary quality, you can see the literary style, you can see the charm in the article. This kind of charming literary works is the most difficult to learn and the easiest to see sincerity. The ancient style is clear and subtle, the allusions are just right, and there are many understanding points and witty little cunning. I read it unforgettable and liked it very much. The modern writing also has an elegant and ancient charm. I can imagine the author's character and taste, and he should be a gentleman. When I was in school, I read the novel too quickly and too roughly, and there was a gap of several years. I can't remember many of the plot names (I will always remember the charm and the feeling when reading the novel, snickering). Today I saw many familiar names in Taijia. I remembered some, but I couldn't remember some stories. I felt a little guilty and shy. I planned to go back and review it. I will only give a superficial feeling here. If there are any fallacies, I can only run away with the lid on the pot. I just finished watching "Taijia" and I feel a little excited. I can't objectively evaluate it yet. I haven't rewatched "Deng Xilou" after its overhaul. The ancient style novels that impressed me the most were "Emperor Ce Chen Gui" and "Wait for Another Year". 2-7 Are somewhat like derivative works from the Emperor Ce era. "Wait for Another Year" is a new generation of new people and a new story. "Taijia" is another new generation of new people. There are talented people from generation to generation, and Qianlang died on the beach (x). Looking back at 1-9, we, Apocalypse and Xuanqi, have been a glorious dynasty for hundreds of years. I hope the stories of the emperor, ministers and scholars of the Xuanyuan family will never end. Bo Wangsun, I have never seen a better pen name than it. Whenever I see it in similar articles, I can't help but secretly compare it, and then turn the page with satisfaction. What else can be compared to Bo Wangsun for fun. Wangsun already has rich meanings. Adding the word "Bo" makes it interesting without losing grace. The charm of this article is good on several levels. The first is the family, the country, the world, and the livelihood of the people. The people and the country are concerned about their hearts. Those who serve as kings and ministers can remember that their responsibilities are in the world. From the perspective of emotional structure, this should be the most important, but why do I put it at the lowest level? No matter how the writing is about establishing a life for the people, fortunately there are not too few authors who have such ideas, and it is not unexpected. With the foundation of the temple caring for the people and the Jianghu worrying about the king, it can be regarded as a qualified ancient court style article. Of course, the author really unfolds the power struggle around the world of society, and it is admirable to really make the characters care about the livelihood of the people at all times. The Emperor's Policy series is quite good, but when it comes to the floods in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers and the diversion of the Yellow River in Taijia, the chaos of the Republic of China in Nanjing in the New Rich, the rescue of Sikuquanshu in Xiliuwan, the context of the Southwest Associated University, the bombardment of Huayuankou... It's too real and too heartbreaking. The second is the historical memory of the city. It is not about writing about a city or its locations, but about the memory of life and the traces of the city that are blended into the natural expression of the writing. Especially Nanjing, whether it is ancient style, the Republic of China, or modern literature, it is all written very well. Nanjing itself is a heavy book, and its atmosphere and character are well written. The spirit of the king of Jinling, the ten-mile Qinhuai River, the phantom of the Republic of China, the tragic encounters, the little blue whale under internal strife, can be jokingly called a broken house in an old man's shirt. We can't forget the bruises all over his body in the Chinese tunic suit, and we can't forget the noble dragon-veined grandson. I thought he was from Nanjing? Because a person falls in love with a city is a boring and superficial saying, but after watching T University's "Long Shou", I wanted to go to Tianjin, and after watching Lao Weng's novel, I wanted to visit Nanjing. I am ashamed to say that Nanjing is hard to resonate with emotions due to the attack from Shanghai and Hangzhou. Many Jiangsu students around me think it is a bit "Northern", but no one really wants to come to Nanjing. They were so irritated until my third year. , I often go out and walk around. The most famous scenic spots such as Nanbo, Xuanwu Lake, Jiming Temple, Linggu Temple, Qinhuai River, Laomendong, Zijin Mountain, Qixia Mountain... Have not been finished yet, and maybe I will say goodbye soon. So what exactly has Nanjing left in my heart over the past few years? What can I remember about it in the future and what can I tell others about it? I hope that this wave of epidemic will end soon, so that I can take a good look at this city, starting from the cute Buddhist-style it, to the tiger perched on the dragon's plate. Let me mention the large campus literature, which is very friendly and has the flavor of Jiangsu campus literature. The third is writing style. The ancient style of writing is in line with the ancient style, and there is no heaping of literary styles, which is extremely rare nowadays, not to mention the allusions and wit that can make people smile. When reading, you will suddenly feel like this. The people in the book are ancients, and the readers are also ancients when reading. In the examination of the imperial examination, from the time when King Wen was gone, Wen was no longer there, to the time when he turned to others and asked for advice. Eating can also be a fish. Shen Yanyao travels to the end of the world, believing that separation in the world is painful. In short, there are three hundred poems and innocent thoughts. It's a pity that I have read so many big books, and the only thing in common is that I work hard to eat more, from waiting for another year to eating Taijia. The larger scope is about the overall feeling, living furnishings and surrounding people. May Day is not logical and full of ancient meaning. It is really commendable to be able to write about ancient style without being limited by the ancient style and being limited by "ancient", but internalizing it into one's own style and language. The fourth is the character's character, temperament and emotions. Since the Emperor Ce era, each of them has had inner perseverance, which is not something they just talk about, but an ambition that cannot be moved or surrendered. The meaning of their lives is to help each other grow and get to know each other in the process of realizing the ideal of the country. When I first read "Emperor's Policy and Minister's Guide", I was more willing to say that Gu Bing and Xuanyuan Zhaomin understood each other well and trusted each other. These Xuanyuan emperors may be called lovers, but they are not confused in their hearts and have the world. Gu Bing, Zhao Xu, and He Xihua are walking on their own paths, a path that is far more important than falling in love. Maybe it's because I'm intolerant and write about beauty and "love", but I always feel unsatisfied. It is better to be a close friend and a little less mature than a lover. What's very valuable is that the author never let their characters collapse, even for a little while. Here, the character is suddenly in love, and his words and actions are not consistent with the Qingliu gentry or even just a normal male, which is an insult to the author's ability. But this kind of phenomenon is too common nowadays, and there are fragments of characters everywhere. If there is an article with a protagonist who is brilliant and has a perseverance in his heart, and can do business online from beginning to end, it will be really thankful and worthy of worship. It is also my little selfishness to indulge in beauty. The graceful part should have a little bit of "vanilla beauty" and "secret resentment to express the virtuous gentleman who cannot express his own suffering." I haven't left many comments for my beloved Da Da in the past six years. I am really lazy. I hope that in the process of reviewing the entire series from Di Ce to Taijia, I can write down more of my superficial thoughts and communicate with you. Finally, I wish you will continue to work hard! Compare your heart~
After reading more than half of the series, I feel like I have experienced hundreds of years of apocalypse and mystery with the characters in the book. I have so many emotions in my heart that I don't know how to talk about them. Well, my favorites are Gu Bing from Di Ce and Xiao Xiong from Taijia. Maybe they like to bring them in because they are older. I always feel that these people somewhat represent the interests of the common people and do practical things. (Of course the other characters are also very good.) I also like the plot setting of the character Ma Buyi. It is great to see the shadow of women holding up half the sky in ancient literature. Special thanks to the author for his hard work in bringing such a wonderful feast of words, please continue to work hard!
I haven't driven by Jinjiang for a long time. I looked through the author's collection and saw that my wife is still writing. I'm really grateful.
The Zhao family is relatively strong. The He family bullied me in the past, but now I won't let you go easily. 2333
It is the Great Baoen Temple where Tanhua Lang Dasu once picked the snow from the green mountains and presented it to Zhao Meiren! The past has faded away, but the pagoda and ancient temple are still the same. I really like this sense of historical travel. I want to read the story of the He family brother. I must let the brother who sincerely pays for the wrong have a happy ending!
Xiao He can still live like this. He is almost a saint. The Zhao family is very demanding.
By the way, when will the wife write a big congratulations article? I feel that he is so miserable. He is still leading the practice. After so many hardships, he will have a good result as soon as possible...
Xiao He was quite outstanding when he first appeared, but after returning to Beijing, his outstanding points dropped significantly.
I really prefer the little peacock haha
I checked again and found out that Little Peacock had 4 sons, one of whom died, and the next one was the late Emperor Little Bear's father, and then there were King Song and King Zheng. The sons of King Zheng and King Song are Xiao Xiong's cousins. Their grandson is Little Bear's cousin, with the prefix "Cao"
