As the title says. The four-star ratings are all because of Jinjiang’s rules, but unrated books don’t count as valid scores.
Stories Set in a Bygone Era
Building this list while searching for books. I love reading stories set in a particular historical era so much, they deserve their own list.
All the Romance Novels on This List Are Ones I've Finished
Pretty subjective and eclectic. I made this list to make it easier to revisit old favorites. The star ratings don’t reflect the writing quality. Five stars just means it really hits my personal preferences.
Stories Set in a Specific Era
Stories spanning the 1940s and 1950s through the 1990s, focusing on each era.
Well-Written Period Novels
Stories set in a bygone era give ordinary people a rearview mirror on history: revisiting those passionate times, making up for regrets, dreaming of getting rich, and experiencing the warmth of local life.
Reading Tickets
Stories with lots of hefty chapters combining three chapters into one, usually worth 30 coins or more. For use during double-nutrition-liquid events.

Reading Notes and Off-the-Cuff Negative Reviews
Honestly, I don't think these are really negative reviews. If you disagree, please don't bother me. I'm still updating this, but lately I can't get into most novels. In a reading slump.
Stories I'm Following or Finished in 2025
A mixed reader of BG and BL.
Recommendations from a 15-Year Bookworm
Every one is a gem. I love strong female leads.
Interesting Reads
Just leaving this here as a memento
Period Pieces
The protagonists transmigrate into the original characters' bodies, but the original characters' whereabouts are never explained. That's a common problem with transmigration stories. The 2006 classic Dawn by Zhou Erfu.

What can I say, the author's article is very nice and eating melon is very fun. But once it got to the end, it was unfinished, or I was in a hurry to finish it and skipped it without explaining anything. Or give you a weird plot, where Wang Yicheng can't stand being with this Jiang. His ex is obviously much better, and the reason for breaking up with Qin is also very confusing... Also, the author often forgets some of the plots he wrote before, such as Chi Pan'er who ran away before, but ended up in the village again in the next chapter... All in all, this author's article is still very interesting. If you see the thunder at the end, if you like this style, you can change to another author's article and read it again.
When the rescue point came in, I saw Jiang Minsha...
Three times~I love my dad so much~
The author's series of articles are very good~
Okay, I haven't watched it for so long and it's finally over. Bao Ya and Gao are finally together [Pigeon]
The whole story is very interesting, but I personally don't like the last one's characters and the way they get along with each other a little bit.
I really want to watch a forum extravaganza. This experience can shock most people.
It's a bit disgusting. He and Jiang Minsha
Suddenly I came across a welfare episode
There are really few emotional scenes between Bao Ya and Gao Zheng, I haven't seen enough [crying]
