The scheming queen of green tea, an Oscar-winning actress in the eyes of the public. She could act cute, throw punches, feign innocence, and play the pure, white lotus. In short, she was not a good person. Eventually, she paid for her actions: she died on her twenty-seventh birthday. As she lay dying, Lin Feilu reflected on her two decades of playing the green tea, and felt deep remorse and regret. She swore that if she got another life, she would 802kFavorites1.4MClicks/ch861.6kGifts

   It's alright. The female lead was quite cute when she was young. The plot is simple and doesn't require much thought. It's sweet and refreshing, and good for passing the time.

   No time travel, no system, no transmigration into a book, no rebirth—it's a very authentic and classic ancient Chinese romance! I absolutely love the female lead; she's resilient, strong, and has a soft heart. The political intrigue isn't simplistic either; the author has put a lot of effort into its portrayal.

   It's a slightly silly fantasy novel with a rushed ending. I can't remember the details of the plot, but overall the reading experience was quite enjoyable.

4. 54 修 The Cultivation World Forbids Species Discrimination 修真界禁止物种歧视 Evening Frost暮沉霜Romance866k WordsCompleted [The print edition goes on preorder at 7:00 p.m. on the 27th.

   I didn't get into it at first, but it got better and better as I read on. The author is great at writing ensemble pieces, and the friendship storyline is especially well done! The romance storyline isn't explored much, only mentioned in a few chapters in the extras. The main storyline is mostly about the female lead and her best friends, with the male lead in the background. Overall, the female lead gets the most attention, which is great.

   So good! A sweet and heartwarming period drama, without any melodrama, vicious supporting characters, or female rivalry. The male and female leads both focus on their careers and get better and better. It's a rare story where both the plot and the romance are engaging!

   Is it only novels written by Yuan He Gu that are this good?! Although it's a romance novel, the male lead is just a background character; there's no romance in the main story, I just love watching the female lead focus on her career! I've already read it three times!

   I followed the serialized version and finished reading it. It's an ancient food novel with very delicate writing and meticulous descriptions of the food. My mouth was watering the whole time while reading. The romance has a bit of a sister-dog vibe; the male lead is so innocent that he blushes easily and his legs go weak at the knees after just one kiss, which is kind of cute.

    I love it! The female lead transmigrates into a book, and the male lead is reborn. The female lead transmigrates just as the country falls, and as the crown princess, she is to be executed. The male lead is the founding emperor, who, after his death, is reborn three hundred years later as the crown prince. The two escape from the capital, start a rebellion in a mountain stronghold, and eventually rebuild the country. The plot flows smoothly, the villains aren't stereotypical, and even minor characters have their own character arcs. The female lead is resolute and decisive, gradually maturing. The military and political maneuvering parts aren't mindless; the logic is sound, making it a thought-provoking read.

    Curator note

    Overall, it's good. I thought it was a typical period novel, but the main storyline is about the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War, with most of the plot taking place in Hong Kong. The plot and romance are both well-written, featuring both love and nationalistic themes.
