   Curator note

   Highly recommended!!! A very healing and liberating story, completely light and almost devoid of angst. After reading it, all you'll remember is the vast world, the scenery along the way, and the different people you meet. The emotions flowing between the two characters are very natural; Xiaoming is truly charming, and Miaomiao is a steadfast, almost inhuman character (they are very straightforward). The story has a touch of ensemble writing, which is part of the charm of road trip stories. The author is very witty, and the story is so good that everyone who reads it will love it.

   Highly recommended!!! It truly lives up to its reputation as a great read. The logic is rigorous, and it's humorous and entertaining. As you gradually uncover the truth behind the tragedy seven years ago, the entire story, from the main plot to the epilogue, is exquisitely crafted. It features a completely female-centric world, the villains are well-developed and detestable, and the main characters' emotions and the explicit scenes are both nuanced and enjoyable. It's impeccable; just read it and you're good to go! [Thumbs up]

3. 3 被 After the Court Officials Hear His Inner Thoughts 被朝臣听到心声后 A Cat Hidden in My Sleeve袖里藏猫Baihe (GL)338k WordsCompleted ◎ New novel: The Pretend Consort is now being serialized. After spending five years as a puppet emperor and failing to fight back nine times, Zhao Jialing had completely given up. Just as she was settling in to lie flat, she dreamed one night that the sun fell into her arms. Then something called the Wise Ruler System bound itself to her. After listening to the System's endless nonsense, Zhao Jialing thought of the daily grind of getting up before dawn to attend court and firmly said, "No." Wis 13.4kFavorites14.1kClicks/ch15.9kGifts

   This article demonstrates a strong historical foundation, even including annotations of classical Chinese quotations [clasped hands], which is truly impressive for science students. The style even resembles a large-scale documentary, suggesting the author has a deep understanding and appreciation of political history. So, I didn't expect to be reading about the emperor and prime minister's romance, but my biggest takeaway is that it's packed with valuable information [facepalm]. The romance is quite interesting; the young emperor is very well-matched and confident, while the prime minister is cautious, idealistic, ambitious, and talented. Their relationship is free of misunderstandings and setbacks. The seemingly carefree young emperor grows into a wise ruler, sharing the same ideals as the prime minister on their path to maturity, ultimately creating a prosperous era together.

She always played by the rules, yet harbored a crush on someone she could never have. Shen Tingwan was warm and radiant, someone's beloved ideal in the eyes of many. Believing that “a crush is one person's business,” Sang Ning had known her for years without getting close or disturbing her. She simply watched the moon from a corner. Until one day, a downpour trapped them together. Shen Tingwan asked, “Do you 95.8kFavorites93.2kClicks/ch191.1kGifts

There were five years left until she died for her. - Perhaps Li Kai really did have what it took to be an actress. Her eyes were so captivating that she could make even a dog look devoted, if she wanted to. But Qian Huahua knew she would never fall in love with her again. She just had to hold on for one more year. Once the college entrance exams were over, she and Li Kai could go their sep 21kFavorites25.4kClicks/ch33kGifts

   Highly recommended!!! It's full of witty remarks; I didn't expect it to be this good. The slice-of-life scenes are very interesting, and the bittersweet past parts are very touching. You can tell the author carefully chose their words for key plot points, which often moves you. It's so entertaining that you'll want to read it several times. Of course, some extra chapters would be even better! [Good luck!]

   Curator note

   Highly recommended! This is a super long novel, a meticulously crafted work. It's plot-driven, not overly depressing, but offers many insightful portrayals of humanity and the human condition. The romance develops slowly and steadily. From its word choice to its pacing, this story has a "classic" feel—a truly excellent piece with a very high level of completion. The synopsis mentions male characters, but I think they're only mentioned briefly in the early parts; the author likely intentionally reduced their screen time later on. Compared to an ensemble piece, this one feels more like it has multiple main characters. The rich plot is so dense it's almost overwhelming, though that might not be the most accurate description. The story is packed with substantial content, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys long novels.

7. 7 救 Help, I’m Being Forced to Marry a Frail and Sickly Immortal Doctor! 救命，被病弱医仙逼婚了！ The Moon Slants, the Stars Shift月斜星移Baihe (GL)522k WordsCompleted Ning Ru Que's swordsmanship is unrivaled beneath the heavens, and she is but one step away from ascension.

   This is so good! The goofy sword cultivator and the white-haired cat healer—this cat and dog romance is so sweet! There's a bit of an ensemble cast; the three dogs in the group of four are just too adorable. Overall, it's lighthearted and humorous, with vivid and interesting details. Although the ending felt a little rushed due to the author's health, it didn't detract too much from the overall experience; it's still a very fun and enjoyable read. [Panda head emoji]

8. 8 首 The Richest Woman and Her Little Princess 首富与她的小郡主 A Warm Breeze有暖风Baihe (GL)1.3M WordsCompleted When Zhao Yi was twelve, her father, lying on his sickbed, used the last of his strength to kneel and beg her for one thing. To bring home and care for the child he'd had with a prostitute at the Chunsheng House. Zhao Yi's father was a live-in son-in-law. Her family had never mistreated him, and her mother was a renowned beauty, virtuous and gentle, who had never even raised her voice. Yet even all that hadn't stopped this man, who lived off his wife's family, from controlling himself. After 10kFavorites8.5kClicks/ch9.2kGifts

   Curator note

   Highly recommended!!! A highly polished work, unfolding the court intrigue like a meticulously unraveling mystery. From the initial assassination attempt to the final revelation of the truth, it was truly amazing. The overall tone isn't heavy or oppressive, maintaining a relatively light atmosphere while skillfully balancing delicate emotional entanglements with the intricate web of political intrigue (even a few lighthearted moments). It features a small ensemble cast and two side couples, both very engaging. I'm sure the author put a lot of thought into the main characters' development; Zhao Yi isn't an omnipotent, exceptionally intelligent character, often forced into situations, and occasionally seems a bit naive (not really). Zhao Hui isn't just someone who's all about being cute and flustered; she possesses intelligence and strength, and the balance between these two aspects is excellent. The romance is sweet without being cloying, greatly enhancing the reading experience. A fantastic work, highly recommended!

   It's a wonderful read. The author's dedication is undeniable; they've created a beautiful and heartwarming love story for two wonderful people. It's about the innocent first love of two already wonderful individuals, and their belated realization of love after many years. It's sweet and healing. (I've edited and revised it many times, but I still feel at a loss for words. The author's subtle regrets make me a little sad. Because of this sadness, I'm always hesitant to think too much about the sweet everyday moments later on, otherwise I'll feel even sadder. Anyway, I still hope the author can be happy and joyful, sob sob.)

    Highly recommended! An interesting premise: a ruthless person tries to save a world riddled with holes. The writing style is humorous, so funny you'll often wonder if the author is mentally sound. It features an ensemble cast, many side couples, a minor angst but not overly tragic, and a smooth main plot. There's some intrigue but not much. It's easy to read, fun, and a pleasure to read. Highly recommended!

    Highly recommended!! A free short miracle story! The author wrote it out of love, so it's not angsty (though there is a tiny bit), but the characters remain in love and stay together. I enjoyed the author's rambling thoughts at the end, which explained the origins of the setting, and the Easter eggs added a lot of room for imagination. Although the author herself said it's more about technique than emotion, it still feels very flavorful, like perfectly cooked braised food with exquisite plating and a smoky sauce—absolutely delicious!

Important note: The early chapters mainly focus on the two characters’ growth. Chen’s perspective will feature more often, though there will also be chapters from Xie’s and other characters’ perspectives. A clean, wholesome story. Everyday coming-of-age, with an extremely slow-burn romance. Happy ending. Chapter comments are open. Theme: Find your own path. 20.2kFavorites19.3kClicks/ch43.5kGifts

    Highly recommended!!! The beauty of a pure love warrior collapsing in admiration [clasped hands] After reading it, I checked the author's page and exclaimed: No wonder it's so good! I really love this story. It's about two unhappy people healing and supporting each other. The logic is very rigorous, and every moment of attraction feels natural. The problems they encounter are also very realistic. I highly recommend it to people who are confused about long-term relationships, uncertain about the future, unable to reconcile with their parents, or prone to self-loathing. It's very instructive, and those with positive values ​​can use it as a textbook. After reading it, I feel that we all deserve a beautiful life and have the energy to strive for a better future. After all, even seemingly rational and strong people have these worries behind the scenes. (Is this really not based on real life? I feel like these two people really exist in the world, it's so real, sob sob sob. Whether there's a real-life counterpart or not, they will always be happily together!)

    Curator note

    Highly recommended!!! This is so good, my friends! At first glance, I thought it would be another typical story, but it's surprisingly a story full of rustic charm. The writing style is humorous and whimsical, yet still delicate, perfectly matching Shen Lian's personality. I absolutely love this style. The character design is unique; the "madwoman" is genuinely crazy, and the other character isn't just pretending to be weak—she's genuinely naive. The plot revolves around how a princess gains power and explores the challenges women face in the world. The world needs leaders who strive for progress, but it also allows for those who slowly awaken from their apathy. It strikes a beautiful balance between harsh reality and extreme idealism. I always feel that authors who strive for this balance are truly compassionate, sowing seeds of hope in cruel soil to create memorable works. You can feel the author poured a lot of effort into the early and middle parts of the story, and the later parts are also excellent, though a bit rushed. However, these flaws don't detract from the overall quality; it's still a very, very good story. Highly recommended!

    Highly recommended!! A friend recommended it, and it's quite good. This story is about how to be a dog for a bad woman. It includes various mathematical puzzles; if you're interested in this kind of thing, you can spend a lot of time studying the problems the author provides. If you're not interested in that, the changing relationships are still worth reading. Healthy love is certainly blissful, but twisted feelings are just too delicious!! It features a certain proportion of ensemble cast, but the two main characters are incredibly brilliant, each with their own unique charm. After reading it, who wouldn't want to be a dog for a hundred-dead grass!

    Curator note

    Highly recommended! However, as the synopsis says, this story is really dramatic and geared towards adults. Kids shouldn't read it, and those who prefer pure love stories are best off avoiding it as well. But it's perfect for those with discerning and eccentric tastes. I had to double-check if this was Jinjiang Literature City several times. Aside from the countless scenes of characters going off-screen, the plot is quite dramatic, but not angsty at all; in fact, it's somewhat healing towards the end. The explicit scenes are also satisfying without being greasy, with a wide variety of content (wow!). I really enjoyed the scenes of love triangles. If you like excitement, go read it; you won't want to say a word once you start.

The meticulous portrayal of the ensemble cast is pure dedication. This story is about love, selfishness, and hope. As always, it strongly emphasizes female agency; every character has their own charm. Ah, I'm so lucky to have witnessed the rise of this yuri (lesbian) author! Now I'm just waiting for the next installment, and the one after that, to see what kind of story it will present.

Although it's an ABO story, it doesn't feel cheesy or overly pampered. It's more like a fairy tale about mutual healing. After reading it, I decided to forgive the world for a minute.

    Highly recommended! This is a long fantasy novel, divided into several volumes. The early parts are a typical fantasy coming-of-age story, while the middle parts begin to depict a large ensemble cast, culminating in a major team battle. A unique aspect is that the two main characters are rare examples of innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. Even though you know the mastermind is among a few people, the plot twists are always surprising. Every time you think you've guessed the truth, the depth of character development pulls you off course. Your perspective is woven into Xiao Xie's; her feelings are your feelings. Equally unusual is that even in the finale, with everyone locked in a fierce battle, there are zero casualties. It's quite enjoyable, and I hope there will be more epilogues later on.

    Highly recommended!!! A story about unrequited love, truly about "meeting someone too stunning in your youth." The writing is still delicate and tender, every word brimming with the bittersweetness of unrequited love. Given the consistently high quality of each of her works, this one shows significant improvement compared to her earlier pieces, proving she started at a very high level. While reading, I genuinely wondered if someone who has never experienced unrequited love could write so poignantly. An introverted, "ordinary," and quiet girl is actually a stubborn and ambitious woman, wanting only to live the rest of her life carrying the memories of that person she loved, only to unexpectedly receive all of their love. On every level, it's a story that perfectly captures the delicate, conflicted, and poignant love of lesbians. What a talented author! I hope she releases new works soon.

    Highly recommended!!! A very well-crafted political intrigue novel. The overall theme is a realistic portrayal of an emperor's rise to power, focusing on how the first female empress established herself. She faced several life-or-death situations, which brought me to tears. However, because the author is very compassionate, despite the immense difficulties the women faced, they steadily progressed towards success. The author is sincere, humble, and possesses strong literary skills; the writing style is quite healing and humorous. The most controversial aspect in the comments is probably the secondary couple. The author can't fully capture the difficulty of choosing between clan, ruler and subject, and ideals; only the women involved truly know how arduous their journey was. Ancient women often faced many constraints beyond their control. Before getting caught up in internal strife and mutual blame, they should consider where their true path lies. The plots of action-packed novels rarely apply to women whose lives are consumed by intrigue. After finishing the book, I felt a sense of loss.

    Highly recommended!!! An ensemble piece about choosing between duty and personal feelings in times of crisis. The style is lighthearted, and I loved watching the main characters' banter. All the female characters have their own charm. Halfway through, I wanted to praise the author, mainly because I didn't expect such a significant improvement. I read several of the author's works from a few years ago, but I didn't finish most of them. The setting and background were very compelling, and the author's knowledge is broad. However, precisely because there's so much to express, the distribution can feel uneven. I started reading with skepticism, but it far exceeded my expectations. The story is excellent, and what's even more remarkable is the detailed portrayal of emotions. Although perhaps limited by word count and the vast world-building, emotions are somewhat relegated to a less prominent position, the balance is still very good and fits the characters' personalities. It was a very enjoyable read. If there were more words, they could have explored the development and deepening of the bonds between the characters. But I'm being a bit nitpicky; this story is already incredibly good, and I really enjoyed it. The later epilogues are also exceptionally high quality. I hope the author continues to produce high-quality works.

    Highly recommended!!! It's truly amazing, amazing in every sense of the word. But a heads-up before you read: Xiaobai was spoiled and treated men like entertainment, but none of them lasted more than three months, and she never developed feelings for anyone. (I really do adore Xiaobai, please, she's so cute!) It's super good, both female leads are incredibly charming, and the writing is very delicate. It truly captures the unique conflicts, struggles, and family disagreements between two women. You could say that it's precisely because of their personalities that they didn't give their first love until their thirties, then separated because of their personalities, and then got back together because of their personalities again. The separation wasn't due to misunderstandings or coercion, but simply because they hadn't worked things out. It's not angsty, because their core values ​​are gentleness and courage, which are unchangeable, so they will definitely make some changes for each other. And since they truly love each other, of course they will stay together forever. The writing style is delicate, gentle, and humorous. Although it's a popular entertainment industry theme, it's written in a refreshing and interesting way. Even the script truly serves the two female leads. Towards the end, I was still marveling at how the initial script perfectly reflected their personalities. It's incredibly good, and the epilogue is great too! You should all go read it!!! (Remember to find the explicit content on the author's Weibo after chapter 90.)

    A great read. Although it's a modern story from 2018, it doesn't feel outdated or clichéd at all, demonstrating the work's sophistication. The characters are quite niche: a super socially awkward genius geek with PTSD, bordering on somatization. But throughout the story, all I found was how incredibly adorable Curly was, with his uniquely interesting thought process. There are many interesting little details in the story, like the security door scene with Panpan, which is quite amusing to savor. I feel that Curly's personality and language structure are definitely a part of the author's own, because the pacing, perspective shifts, timeline interweaving, and story logic all closely match Curly's way of thinking, giving it a quirky, eccentric, and highly intelligent feel. The plot is also interesting, and the love and friendship between the two couples are quite unique. When love, friendship, and reality collide, I almost thought they were about to have a major fight. None of the four are peacemakers; they're all sharp-tongued, but their bonds are incredibly strong. In the harsh and dark reality, there are always small miracles that keep them going. Many of the plot points are thought-provoking, and the ending has a poignant, almost abrupt, feel, like the beginning of a new chapter. I recommend it to anyone interested in this genre.

    Highly recommended!!! Seeing is believing. This is a gem among older works, and it's also the author's first novel. The care and delicacy are evident. The writing is as romantic and sentimental as the folklore of the Chu Kingdom; I even found it quite healing. Like the High Priest Qinglan, it was so heartwarming to see two beautiful people finally united. From a humanistic perspective, this book is a utopia, where many characters possess gentlemanly virtues. In recent years, the yuri (lesbian) community has been particularly resistant to male supporting characters and more sensitive to certain word usages. Due to the story's background and the era in which it was written, some vocabulary in this book might cause some readers to feel uncomfortable. However, I think it can be viewed objectively. In the world the author creates, gentlemanly virtues can exist, and they can be recognized as such. I think this is perfectly acceptable from the perspective of this story. Aside from this subtle point, everything else is perfect. I highly recommend reading it.

    A lighthearted read about two unlikely friends venturing into the ancient imperial court. The beginning felt a bit childish, but its humor captivated me. The pacing improved rapidly, and the later parts reached a high level in both plot and character development, holding up to some established authors with more works. The writing style is cheerful, full of jokes, and the short skits are entertaining. A very good work, highly recommended! (Hopefully, the author will have more works in the future.)

Warnings: Contains "unclean" content, so those with a lesbian complex or who can't accept the protagonist being bisexual should proceed with caution. If you're open-minded, you absolutely must read it, it's incredibly good, with a light and refreshing writing style. Although it's realistic, you can tell from the synopsis that it's about everyday life. Both female leads are incredibly charming, I cried several chapters, not because it was angsty, but because I know so many people have gone through similar experiences, and I felt so sorry for them. In the world, He Qiang is bisexual, but I don't think so. That definition is very narrow for He Qiang. Please, please read it, it's so good!

    Highly recommended!!! It's absolutely amazing! The word choice is exquisite, the background is well-developed, the characters are vivid, it's a masterpiece!! It features an ensemble cast, demonstrates superb cultural knowledge, and has a humorous and delicate writing style. It's a very high-quality novel. There are two main couples, each with their own unique charm. Jin Wang and Xie Shi are confidants who share common ideals. Jin Wang is domineering yet shy, while Xie Shi is seemingly pedantic but actually intelligent. She runs away while Xie Wang relentlessly pursues her. The egret, initially a shameless follower, relentlessly chased after the blacksmith. Though later self-conscious and restrained, it persisted, eventually winning the favor of the Moon Goddess. And then there's Bai Zhi Jin Hua—the character development is truly superb! The subtle details reveal the endearing nature of each character. The plot deals with the plight of women. Even in this fictional history, where women can marry and hold official positions, they still face workplace inequality and a lack of voice. Political correctness is separated from policy discourse by a vast chasm, much like our current predicament. A remarkable work, written with a light and enjoyable pace, all the characters are likable, and the subtle humor is truly entertaining. It's unbelievable that such a fantastic piece is free!

    Recommended! This book is surprisingly good. The synopsis made me think it would be one of those melodramatic, cliché-filled stories. Professor Xu appears to be a cold, manipulative woman, but is actually a vulnerable, tearful, and funny one. She cries after every breakup. The bittersweet plot is right up my alley. For me, around 300,000 words is considered a short story, especially in a modern setting. If it doesn't grab my attention at the beginning, I'm unlikely to get into it. Xu Mufeng's initial contradictions—seemingly a seasoned lover but actually a bit of a dork—even become quite comical later on. Overall, I recommend reading it.

    Highly recommended!!! No romance, the four main characters don't have a love story! (But you can ship female characters yourself.) One of the female leads has an ex-girlfriend (the villain). Warning: 1. One of the female protagonists, Feng Qingran, intentionally let go of the villain (who was also her ex-girlfriend) who had betrayed and hunted them in the early stages. This ex-girlfriend is ruthless, vengeful, and extremely good at escaping. She has existed for a long time. 2. This is not a wish-fulfillment story!! It is not a wish-fulfillment story! Many plots are too realistic and may feel frustrating, prompting reflection on human nature, but it is not angsty!! They are strong in combat, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Under the struggle for power and the strong pressure to survive, it is not surprising that people do anything. If you mind, please read with caution. 3. The characters are not perfect. Feng is a bit idealistic, Mo is somewhat reckless and aloof, and Liu is arrogant, sharp-tongued, and has a spoiled, taciturn personality. They will make mistakes, errors, and decisions they don't understand, but they are all constantly growing and always kind. 4. If you're from the yuri (lesbian) section, it's recommended to avoid reading the comments. If you're not impatient and accept that the main character makes mistakes, then this concludes the warning. Congratulations, you can finally read a masterpiece!! The warnings above don't apply to me at all. I absolutely love all four female characters as they grow and witness humanity in the apocalypse. This story is truly amazing, encompassing elements of raising animal pets, fighting insectoids, tribal infrastructure development, wilderness survival, the struggle between human nature, wormholes, and time differences—a multi-faceted female protagonist story. I don't want to say too much, but if you liked the premise but were annoyed by chapter 99, I suggest you read on. Following their perspectives until later chapters will make you understand. Firstly, there are indeed reasons behind things, and secondly, they aren't perfect saints; they make mistakes and have flaws. And compared to everyone else in the apocalypse, they are truly incredibly kind people. It's really good!!!

    Highly recommended!!! There are several excellent long reader reviews at the end of the article; I recommend checking them out. I've always believed that a good work conveys profound meaning with effortless ease. While I personally prefer lighthearted ensemble pieces, I have great respect for works like this one, which possess a solid core yet are expressed in a relaxed manner. Good works deserve careful exploration, and I was already thinking about how to recommend this book to everyone when I was halfway through reading it. In terms of writing style, although I don't know where the author is from, I kept hearing a Beijing accent as I read, a kind of teasing, colloquial expression, especially in the first half of the article. I found it novel. It's amazing how this writing style can portray a perennial character in the yuri (lesbian) genre: a cool and aloof designer. Usually, this style is more suited to the rebellious and flamboyant type, but to depict a cool and aloof "straight woman" with strong boundaries, a competitive spirit, and a humorous personality, and then bring her to life, is a fresh thing. In terms of subject matter, the workplace drama is incredibly well-written, offering a completely new perspective for readers unfamiliar with the industry. The portrayal of women's dilemmas and choices is superb. Xiao Jin's character also evolves from initially seeming like a pervert to becoming a clingy, sincere, strong, and reliable woman, gradually becoming more and more likable. Highly recommended!

As you read on, you realize it really is Xiao Song who has been reborn; if it were Xiao Wen, there wouldn't be this many chapters—she would have been taken away much earlier.

    This is an all-female story. The early part features lesbian hatred, a touch of farming and alchemy, and Xianxia elements. The middle part is a tragic arc, and the later part delves into various dual cultivation themes (it's somewhat erotic). It's a great read for those who enjoy dark and gritty fantasy elements. The writing is quite good, and the theme is novel. The early part is very engaging, with its unique character development, the non-harmful sword techniques, the pure and gentle nature of the female protagonist, the ability to communicate with spiritual energy, and the switching between two spiritual roots—all are incredibly captivating. Personally, I think this kind of growth story would be fantastic. However, perhaps due to the master's extremely high level of hatred (which is also part of the master's uniqueness—both love and hate are extreme), this growth phase is forced to be short-lived, which is reasonable. It's a shame that the protagonist is gone, and some plot points remain unresolved. But if you enjoy stories with intense, unresolved hatred, I still recommend it.

    Highly recommended!!! It's incredibly good, from the grand world-building to the smallest character details. All the foreshadowing is resolved, and the past and present lives feel very logical. A huge shout-out to the author; this was clearly a labor of love. Because I read it after it was finished, and I've always been a big fan of Qingzhou, I don't feel as heartbroken. The author's writing is excellent, and it's clearly very well done—a masterpiece. Because the first few volumes are written in the first person, the immersion is very strong, allowing readers to experience the confusion and struggle. It's undeniable that the childhood in the Marquis's mansion has a strong "Dream of the Red Chamber" feel to it—innocent childhood friendships, dependence on others, and being forced into a life of helplessness. However, as you read on, you realize that Xiaozhou is definitely the best. The others' various hardships ultimately stem from a lack of love. The senior sister is everyone's unfulfilled wish, but there are too many obstacles between them in their two lifetimes. In her previous life, she was born into a noble family and had no control over her own destiny; in this life, she has a tragic background and is dependent on others. Therefore, each time she makes a choice, she chooses a different path away from Runqing. My deepest impression is when they first arrived at the Wenxin Sect; that was when the senior sister was most open, without burdens or worries. From her perspective, it's only much later that she learns that she and Aman only had that one year together. She was indeed heartbroken, but as you read on, readers will definitely fall in love with Xiaozhou along with Runqing. Her love is so genuine, even Ayun's love is just as good—able to accept and let go, never hurting the one she loves. It truly means loving her and sharing her pain and sorrow. It's wonderful!!! Everyone go watch it!!

    Highly recommended!!! It's still a love story featuring "niche" characters. Given the current trend of lesbians being restricted by their education level, neither the previous factory girl story nor this one with a small-town boss is typical of mainstream yuri fiction. However, this down-to-earth nature makes it all the more relatable. The plot itself is quite common, but the author's writing is excellent. You can appreciate the uniqueness of the two female leads through small details, making ordinary events fascinating. This is probably the ability of a truly excellent author. You can also feel the author's love for their characters. I don't know if it's just my perception, but compared to the factory girl story, the author seems to have a stronger sense of doting affection for An'an and Cenxi, like a loving mother. The story is very healing; neither of them realizes that they already have feelings for each other from the very beginning. It's great, I love reading it, so much so much!

    This is a unique story about a CEO and a singer, quite novel in both character design and background. Initially, I thought it would be the typical feel-good story of a one-night stand in a social circle leading to a satisfying revenge on a scumbag ex, but it's completely different. The CEO isn't ruthless and decisive; instead, he's initially indecisive and submissive, remaining silent even after being bullied. The singer isn't purely vibrant and passionate; she's still wounded but still drawn to the flame of love. I initially expected a team-up to punish the scumbag and the other party's regret, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this is unnecessary. For them, the enemy isn't trash, but their own flaws—whether it's their acquired personality traits or the misfortunes they face. Compared to these, trashy people are nothing. The two slowly overcome themselves, supporting each other as they grow stronger. The secondary couple has a lot of sexual tension and suspense, which is quite realistic. In the adult world, it's rare to be detached from the physical, whether it's love or not.

    It's a good read, a bit angsty, but perhaps because you can feel that both female leads love each other, the angst isn't overwhelming. However, it definitely made me cry a lot. Dugu's character is incredibly appealing, a complete fantasy. Hate lasts longer than love; how could she endure the long years without it? I felt a deep tenderness for her. Looking at several worlds, I always thought, "Fish, please love her! She's on the verge of breaking." The smaller worlds are more exciting than the background world, especially the post-apocalyptic ones. The background world's plot is quite good, not having a bad ending, which is quite an achievement, considering how difficult it is to reconcile. Overall, the beginning is more captivating, which explains why she says in the epilogue that she prefers to be called Dugu Chiyan. Dugu leaves a stronger impression on readers, and those who enjoy this kind of character will really like this story.

I haven't read many quick transmigration novels because most of them feel rushed due to the limited length of the short stories, and the characters tend to be somewhat stereotypical. This book doesn't have this problem. Xiao Lin is consistently free-spirited in every story, and Xiao Zhu shines in every story—not necessarily grand, but undeniably brilliant. No need for further comment; it's very complete and nuanced. You'll know it's a masterpiece once you read it.

The plot is revenge-oriented, with plenty of sexual tension and good writing. It's a short, satisfying read, recommended.

    Highly recommended!! A modern suspense novel with a time loop. I usually don't read this genre, but this one is quite good. Neither character is perfect; they each have their flaws. It's a coming-of-age story, with characters growing stronger through the loop. The plot has many subtle foreshadowing elements and numerous highlights. It's worth reading a couple more times to find the Easter eggs. The angst is just right; it's the kind of story that leaves you with a lingering sense of loss after careful reflection.

In everyone else’s eyes, Shu Hua was the campus belle of Nanhai University, a prestigious school, ethereal and born into privilege. But the impression she left on Yu Qi was that she loved fake smiles, thrived on socializing, and was a hypocrite.

    Highly recommended!! A perfect modern novel, over 800,000 words and definitely worth it, a rare long modern novel. There's no revenge or underdog story, but it's still worth spending a few days watching their growth. The excellence of this novel lies in how you feel the characters are real people. Even though many novels attempt to achieve this, this one uses delicate strokes to realistically construct two imperfect, yet undeniably charming characters. Looking back at the beginning, with Yu Qi riding her electric scooter with the liar eating spicy skewers, it feels like it was just yesterday. This is a novel worth reading two or three times!

Off the coast of Guangdong, south of Nancheng, separated from the city by a narrow stretch of sea. Nan Island Middle School is a boarding high school ranked first in the city. It’s known as “the island’s pride,” yet it is directly administered by the city’s education bureau, and 90% of its enrollment places go to children from the city across the water. The island is poor, and its schools are short on qualified teachers. That year, only two students from Fangkou Village, 46.3kFavorites30.3kClicks/ch49.9kGifts

    Highly recommended!! I swear on my receding hairline, it's absolutely amazing!! It's beyond just a campus romance novel; I'd describe it as an idealistic documentary. If the subject matter allowed, I'd rent out the entire theater if it were made into a movie. Everyone should go see it!!! I don't want to say much more, it's just so good!

    Looking back, I realize that with this book, I've read eleven of Jia Zi's books. The quality remains high; there's no melodrama or clichéd plots. It's simply about two people gradually falling in love, experiencing healing and growth. After reading it, I felt a warm glow inside.
