Bottom-Led Reading List | Historical and Western Fantasy BL
I lean toward the receiving partner in BL and mainly care about how he's written. I want the giving partner to make the first move. I'm not too bothered by pretty or idealized giving partners, as long as the author doesn't imply in the narration that they want to kiss even if it means dying together. Check the comments for trigger warnings.

Beautiful, Strong, Smart, and Charismatic Male Leads
I can only guarantee that the bottom's characterization fits the title, not anything else. Any potential land mines will be marked. The bottom's characterization comes above everything else.
Wuxia Boys' Love
A roundup of gorgeous wuxia novels from Green River… Some are set in the jianghu, some in the imperial court.
Pretty Good
Some are so old that their chapters have been locked... I can't subscribe to the full story...
Books I've Reread Countless Times
I like stories with a bit of angst, serious plots, ensemble casts, growth, family and friendship, beautiful writing, and a touch of magic. Some have special meaning to me.
Good Stories
Some are written in a natural, down-to-earth style, with a little philosophy; some have a lot of unnecessary explanation; and some feel naive by today's standards. But they're all good stories once you've read them through.
Rich in Ancient Charm
Includes xianxia, jianghu, political intrigue, and times of turmoil. I like serious stories, character growth, ensemble casts, and sects. Not a fan of pure fluff. I prefer when supporting characters die. Romance is optional.

Old Favorites That Only Get Better With Time
A beloved favorite that holds up to rereading. Adding it to my list!
Reader comments 37

At the end of the novel, I wrote it for my favorite novel and my favorite protagonist, Ji Wudi. It is labeled as subject and subject, but after careful reading, I found that there is almost no description of Ji Wudi's psychological activities. The character is mainly represented by facial expressions, movements and language, which contrasts with the rich psychological activities of other "smart people", giving first-time readers the preconceived impression that "Ji Wudi is a idiot". Then when did you discover the clue? Is it the time when Ji Di Di faced the members of the Ten Evil Prisons and calmly blocked them with just one sentence? Was it when he let Yuan Ao Ce out of the cell door, raised his ax and was about to strike, but suddenly stopped, as if he had made a condition unintentionally? Or is it the time to blink your eyes and mention that Ling Yun is suspicious? These are all minor contradictions, but we can see that Ji Wudi is far from just a piece of "rotten wood" as shown in the writing and title. In the end, the truth came out, even the details of Ah Zhong's choice of Ah Zhong were ignored, and then he resolved the crisis of trust within the sect with great efforts. All these actions suddenly made Ji Wudi become the most wise and foolish person in my heart. Perhaps this is the charm of this novel. The memory points brought about by the contrast are too profound. When I look back and review the past, I find that I am just like the others in the Suppression Blue. I am only one-nth of the people who were punished by the enemy and played by the author~ I saw a comment before that said that Ji Wudi, who was waiting for Ace to come back with a thick quilt by the window on a rainy night, was the real Ji Wudi, strong and lonely. I couldn't help but feel shocked. I re-read this part and found that Ji Wudi only said two sentences: one to ask Ace when he would come back, and the other to ask the store clerk to boil a kettle of hot water. The usually chattering enemy now spoke concisely, politely, and distantly, not wasting a moment on matters that he didn't care about. I couldn't help but agree with the evaluation of "powerful yet lonely", but I felt sad at the same time. What kind of Ji Wudi is the "real Ji Wudi"? Is the smiling face that the readers see all day long completely fake? Some comments said that Ji Wudi has been wearing the mask longer than Fan Jijing, so he has become one with the mask. But I think it was because Ji Wudi wanted to be such a person, so he became it. Because he is strong, he is not afraid of being ridiculed for his incompetence. Because he is lonely, he longs for excitement and warmth. Regarding the question of whether Ji Huihuang's training method for Ji Wudi is true or false, the answer is almost equal to yes when the author does not give any hint of other possibilities. Everyone thought that Ji Huihuang was omnipotent, but Ji Wudi was the only one who endured the boundless destruction of his omnipotent father. If you say it and no one believes it, you can only fight it by almost destroying yourself. At such a young age, he abandoned his martial arts skills. Did Ji Wudi have any golden beans falling from his eyes at that time? In addition, I also like the other pairs of CPs very much~especially Cui Yuke and Hong Shiyi Niang, which reminds me of my parents, hahaha, everyone is very, very vivid. Thanks to Panzi for depicting such a playful and interesting world and saving me from self-destruction.
Let me review it again. I still like Master Lu so much. Why do I have to give my favorite cp the extra chapter (*?????) If it were a new series, I would really have no regrets in this life.
I. . . . I originally stood in Qingcheng, but when I think about Lu Qingyi, I seem to be lazy, so. . . Very reasonable
"You are here, what should I do when I go back?" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahaha, Lu Qingyi is so seductive, I love her so much!
To summarize the next chapter that is locked: Ah Zuo and Ah You are cooking.
After reading it, let's make up for it~ In fact, the journey between Xiao Cheng and Qing Yi has been deleted. Qing Yi almost made it to the last step (∩?_?)? In the end, he took the initiative to lie down because he was too lazy.
The green of Lu Qingyi is the city of Cheng Cheng. I have memorized this sentence for eight years, and every time I think about it, I just wonder why it is so wonderful, why it is so sweet, why is our Lu Qingyi so annoying?
The world is full of broken sleeves...
Every time I see the abbot and Taoist priest, I laugh so hard that I can't help myself
I particularly like this pair\\(≧▽≦)/ Lately, I feel like no matter how many times I watch the Flirty series, I can't get enough of it.
