No-CP Reading List
No-CP novels I'm currently reading or have finished. Also looking for no-CP stories with imaginative premises, nuanced emotions, and good writing. I'm an omnivore, I'll read anything QAQ
Thirty: For Reading Voucher Tasks
Reading vouchers (I can't select the starred ones since I haven't bought them yet, after all)
For Heroines’ Biggest Fans (Plot-Focused)
Female-lead-centered novels, primarily plot-driven. No female leads who just stand around like cameras. Even the romance-focused stories are mainly about the female lead driving the plot.
Novels with Female Leads
Mostly no-romance and romance stories. These are all ones I recommend after finishing them. The writing is decent, though I'm not particularly picky about writing style.
Female-Lead Wish-Fulfillment, Utterly Satisfying
Female-oriented feel-good stories with radiant heroines. I love women
Stories I've Read at Least Twice
I read GL, GB, female-top, and female-dominance stories from time to time. I’m a female-lead enthusiast and prefer older tops. The writing must at least be fluent.
I Read Every Single One of These!
Interstellar, historical, farming, xianxia, mecha, infinite worlds. Every one is carefully chosen.
What Should I Call This?
I have a habit of forgetting a book as soon as I finish it, so whenever someone asks for recommendations, I can never think of any. Not anymore! I'm adding the books I love here and recommending them like crazy!
Editor's Picks
Really, really good (I follow a lot of ongoing series, and sometimes I catch up and stop reading because updates are too slow. That's why I haven't bought every chapter of many of these, but they're genuinely great.)
Stories I Forgot Were So Good, but Keep Thinking About
I’ve forgotten what made it so good, but even after all this time, thinking back on it still makes me feel it was amazing.
Currently Reading
Some thoughts from while I was reading, so I don't forget. Completed books I haven't fully purchased yet and ongoing books are all here. I'll remove them once I've purchased them in full. All kinds of genres, and my opinions are very subjective.

My tastes are all over the place. A good read is a good read, no matter the genre. This list is updated regularly.
Personal Recommendations, All Genres Welcome
I tend to like stories set in a particular era, with hoarding, niche tropes, career skills, strong plots, and smooth prose. No overly simplistic writing.

As the title says, these are all original stories
An 800+ Collector’s Reread List for Books I’ve Read N Times
I read everything except danmei. A must-have for when you’re out of things to read~ ① Early on, I was willing to overlook the prose for the plot; rereads get a stricter cull. ② Mostly lighthearted books I’ve reread many times. There’s also a complete five-star list on my profile.
Truly Independent and Self-Reliant Strong Female Leads
Strong female leads with career storylines, not brainless wish fulfillment. If you don't like stories where the woman is strong but the man is even stronger, move along.

I'm about to film a drama [Split]. Now I'm extremely afraid that someone will fall in love with a certain male co-star through the drama, and then scold Xiao Zhu, or charm the man through Xiao Zhu. I'm so desperate.
The second brush is over, what a great article! I'm very happy to be able to make it into a TV series, congratulations to the author!
Is this book going to be made into a movie? Big congratulations. I hope the producers can respect the original work and whoever can perform it, I wish it would be awesome
This is a really strong book. I followed it as a serial at the beginning, and after a long time, I can watch it as a drama. Some of the confrontations and quotations have to be interpreted by the sisters in the comment area. The characters and actions are very relevant, and it is like a drama without being too boring. It often uses cold humor, narrow-minded but not out of touch. There are many details and echoes. When you understand it, it feels like you have solved a riddle left by the author. It is a great sense of accomplishment, and you can also rely on the comments section to explain it. There are many male characters (because most of the chapters are about court and local governance) but there is no "male protagonist" in the sense of a romance novel. Yes, there is no "male and female emotional line" in this article. Most of this article is about a woman pretending to be a man (not the kind who wears this layer of skin and is in love). In the later stage, after operating for most of her life, she finally became the "king of land" in remote areas, and then she stopped. However, she did not use this as a gimmick, but only worked to improve people's lives. In the beginning, it was because his biological father was unreliable, and he got involved in some things to save him. From then on, he was swept away by the wheel of history. At first, he was trapped in prison by a dandy who could almost not come back with just one sentence. Later, he entered the court step by step, and then was assigned to a remote area (further than the exile of criminals) to govern the local area, recover the barbarians in the mountains, fight wits and courage to discuss... He chased him all the way, and he was frightened and applauded all the way. The characters in the book are all three-dimensional and real. The noble man Zheng Qi at the beginning pulled Xiao Zhu into the officialdom because he was a nice person? It's to form cliques and give yourself more support. Saying that others are bad, he really tried his best to plan for her. In the later period, the complicated interest relationships and partisanship could no longer be summed up in simple terms of good and bad. The true gentleman, the Prime Minister, saw Xiao Zhu's brilliant mind and Zheng Qi's use of her, and advised her to study more. Later, before the storm of the inheritance, he tried his best to send some young backbones far away to experience, so as not to get involved. Then Xiao Zhu opened a new map for the separatist party. It's not like you have a golden finger when you get to the place (this article is non-transformation, rebirth, no golden finger), all kinds of difficulties and obstacles are very real (such as the struggle between superiors and subordinates due to language barriers and acclimatization)... The children Xiaozhu takes in also have their own characteristics, some are smart, some are not smart, they are very lively... Highly recommended to check it out! There were a lot of quarrels in the early comments, but after more than a hundred chapters, they were mostly about interpretation of details. I have never been very good at rating and sorting (the top 100 gave me a headache, so I just put them together in one genre, and the ones at the back may not be inferior). I wish I could pile up all my favorites in a folder, in no particular order (just sort them by genre or style), because I feel that ranking subjective preferences is wrong, and objective reviews and ratings are not professional or qualified. But if I could only recommend one book to others, I would recommend this one and enjoy it! I'm not saying that I like this book for everyone, but this one is very genuine. I followed Xiao Zhu all the way, especially the serials, and I got stuck in it... There are no surprises (even if I look at some angry people or sad plots), and even some scenes I still read over and over again when I recall them. Sometimes when I see someone liking my previous comments, I will click on that plot to review it again. Because this part of the content is not conceived in a systematic, logical and framed manner, it is a combination of several times. I never thought that I would read it so many times and accumulate so many random thoughts, so it seems long-winded and confusing. The summary is - it looks good, go watch it!
In fact, after reading it, I was moved by Xiao Zhu for the first time, but I paid more attention to Su Zhe and Zhou Wei the second time. Xiao Zhu is like a genius who is humane, sophisticated, martial arts and IQ, so she rarely makes mistakes. Su and Zhou are more like ordinary people, so they will be confused and make mistakes. Of course, mistakes depend on personal position and family background. I am often angry. What would happen to them without Xiao Zhu? If they can also dress up as men, they will expose themselves like Xiao Zhu. , I guess not, they are not strong enough, but if so, I don't want to blame them at all. We are always too harsh on women, even our compatriots. Why, even if they are not elites, they are much better than those drunkards in the court, but it doesn't matter, walk slowly, Xiao Zhu will teach them, protect them, one day they will become the next Xiao Zhu, they will become very powerful people
I'm very happy that it's being made into a TV series, I love it! [Compare hearts][Compare hearts]
I saw the news that it will be made into a film and TV show
My favorite novel is finally available on the screen. I'm looking forward to it, but I also hope the changes won't be too outrageous.
Where have you been eating meat? Are you still back to write a book? I wish this book is very good [please please]. Will you be able to make new mistakes in your lifetime?
Will the simplified Chinese book be reprinted? Can I still buy it?
