2 刺 Assassinating the King of Qin 刺秦王 Intoxicated in the Bewitching Night醉夜迷离Romance147k WordsOngoing In his dreams, King Zheng of Qin used his ambition to keep a demon imprisoned. He mobilized his troops and searched the six directions, never knowing that at the break of dawn, that wisp of a soul would return to the palace maid kneeling in a corner of his hall, serving him with a fan in hand. … Wei Lingyang was the most unremarkable palace maid in the Qin palace, but she harbored a world-shaking secret. She could enter the dreams of the man destined to become the greatest emperor in history. 1.4kFavorites962Clicks/ch2.5kGifts

Curator note

Another novel about the First Emperor. The female lead's dream of forcefully seducing and teasing him is like everyone petting a cat—it's all about domination and forceful acquisition. This is how the powerful emperor of all time is going to be brutally humiliated! The initial tension was great, but the later plot twists gave me a headache. Sometimes I think novels shouldn't be given any specific meaning; simply telling a good story about love is also a wonderful thing (speaking of which, part of the reason I really like Shu Ning's BL novel with a beautiful supporting character is that it only focuses on emotional turmoil).

A very clever and interesting Three Kingdoms novel, with a rather niche male protagonist. Most Three Kingdoms novels are like chicken bones—tasteless but not worth discarding. But this one is truly captivating. The chapters about the female protagonist and Zhou Yu left a deep impression. The intricate history of political maneuvering rolls forward, the battle songs of swords and spears never cease, and in the possible, infinite blank spaces, the lover who has never met will cast a shimmering glance.

I skipped around and didn't finish watching it. It's a rare Japanese style, and I'd give it five stars even though it's a niche style.

The plot is wildly imaginative and full of quirks, featuring a cheat-like advantage that the author handles surprisingly smoothly. Currently, the chapters are primarily focused on quirks; the female lead is newly born, and her personality and abilities haven't been fully developed yet. I'm giving it four stars for now. Before adding it to my reading list, it was considered a promising entry, but later it reportedly became controversial.

Set in an alternate Heian period, the story revolves around Fujiwara no Toshiko, a court lady, and Genji, a character whose romance is purely physical and not emotionally driven. The plot is a bit hardcore, but watchable.

She can't memorize classical poems or prose, and she constantly mixes up historical figures and their stories. Her everyday complaints include, "This is driving me crazy," "I can't understand any of this," and "Why did they have to write so many poems when they had nothing better to do?"

Curator note

Lin Wuqiu, a hot-tempered and stubborn girl, transmigrates to the world of historical poets and experiences the birth of famous poems. It's a very interesting story, one of the few novels I've read recently. There's no romantic subplot between her and the poets; their interactions are more like Uncle Long and Xiao Yu (?). Some supporting characters have unrequited love, and while it's labeled a romance novel, it's more like a story without a romantic pairing. I like this book because the female lead is a vivid, flesh-and-blood person, not a pale, empty KPI-achieving machine. She's stubborn, doesn't deliberately flatter superiors (the poets), and doesn't arbitrarily insult inferiors (the various supporting characters). What impressed me most was when the female lead was doing a Li Bai mission; she had a good relationship with Yang Yuhuan. Due to a momentary emotional impulse, she chose to stand up Li Bai and stay with Yang Yuhuan, who wasn't understood by her family, because of a sudden impulse.

Ever since she landed face-first in the earth in the sixth year of Zhongping, the brief dream she'd once had has long since vanished. She has an unremarkable face, poor social skills, no family background, and a strange debuff that makes everyone hate her. Not becoming some warlord's unattainable dream girl isn't a big deal.

Sword in hand, a long howl echoes through the Qilian Mountains, a young hero's spirit soars through the spring hills. The female protagonist is Hua Mulan, and the male protagonist is Huo Qubing. Two adorable and heroic young generals, a female-friendly worldview, with characters ranging from high-ranking officials to commoners, all vividly portrayed. The author treats each character with gentleness, even killing off Huo Qubing and breaking the curse of Li Guang's inability to be enfeoffed, making it as beautiful as a Western Han Dynasty fairy tale.

Set in the Heian period, this novel blends elements of The Tale of Genji and Baku Yumemakura's works. The writing style is delicate and elegant, the characters are vivid, and it's worth reading multiple times. The female protagonist is Minamoto no Fuyuki, and the male protagonist is Abe no Seimei.

Born on the eve of a dynasty's decline, Wang Lang belonged to the foremost aristocratic clan. His father commanded armies but had no interest in military or political affairs. His elder brother was clever and capable, yet had no desire to serve at court. The only path before Wang Lang was to establish a military government and reclaim the Central Plai 6.7kFavorites7.2kClicks/ch4.9kGifts

Curator note

In line with the author's "Counting the Glories" (Eastern Jin Dynasty section), this work demonstrates a strong command of classical Chinese. The story, reminiscent of the swallows that once graced the halls of the Wang and Xie families, features a female protagonist born into a royal family. Intelligent, insightful, elegant, and erudite, she rises to the rank of general and helps recover the Central Plains. The male protagonist is Xie An (Xie Taifu, Hanxue Ri Neiji). Most notably, the author doesn't have the female protagonist become queen or empress, but instead attempts to promote a new political system. What's the point of becoming queen or empress? The dragon-slaying hero often becomes the dragon himself. Although the ending is somewhat rushed, the author's reflections on the dynastic cycle and political change are refreshing.

A hidden gem among works. The female protagonist is based on Hedy Lamarr, the "Mother of WiFi," and the male protagonist on scientist Feynman; it's a story of mutual redemption. The author possesses strong writing skills and an elegant style, like sipping mulled wine to the melody of a saxophone on a winter's day, lying in a rocking chair covered with a blanket, and memories slowly drifting back to the golden age of Hollywood.
