The protagonists' childhoods were so wonderful that even I was swayed by their memories... Kids, as long as you're happy... I'd be willing to read another hundred chapters just to see you all playing and laughing together as children...
2 Did Miss Zhu Fall into a Trap Today? 祝姑娘今天掉坑了没 I Want to Eat Meat我想吃肉No CP4.0M WordsCompleted Zhu Ying is someone who does whatever she wants, with no regard for law or heaven.

The story follows the protagonist as he rises through the ranks of officialdom. The writing is excellent, and the characters are multifaceted. For example, the protagonist's mother, though feudal and stubborn, truly loves her. Alas, parents' hearts are sometimes like that—they may seem contradictory, but their love is genuine (gestures).

The protagonist is so unlucky, he becomes a pawn in someone else's game, but luckily he has a partner who can make others a pawn in his game too. The protagonist wins! I rewatched it, and this episode best captures the theme: it's either about mutual love or romantic entanglements... The protagonist is a soft-hearted god, so the readers' doting on him goes something like this: Even if you're a cockroach, so be it, as long as you're alive, as long as you're happy... The love between the main characters and their partners is pure and innocent. If you ask me, the partner would dote on the main characters even if they were cockroaches. It's pure love!

Unconditional pampering because I'm the main character's only fan, Ah Ping, my Ah Ping... A genius author of classical literature; I've been reading his classical works for ten years, and even my mother has read them and says they're beautifully written. His profound cultural knowledge shines through every line of his writing. Ah Ping wanders around solving cases, getting promoted and demoted in a cycle of investigation and promotion. Our Ah Ping is just such a man who regards fame and fortune as external things and is wholeheartedly devoted to upholding justice. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] Ah Ping, you know I've always supported you opening your compound... Although I know you're too honest to actually make it work, that's why I'm just talking nonsense... But I firmly believe that as long as everyone is in Ah Ping's compound, the world will be at peace (what?).

My God, Your Majesty the Emperor. Jpg Such perseverance, composure, and imperial methods—I actually saw a real emperor in a novel! After watching this emperor's story, I feel that the court struggles of other emperors are far too limited in scope. I honestly agree.

Wait, you just mentioned ancient detective literature, right? Then I have to introduce you to Zhang Ping, the protagonist who is good at solving cases, straightforward, and quick-witted—he's my favorite… (gets dragged away) Although the details of ancient life remain, the scope expands considerably compared to the previous book. I mean, it expands to the point that a single case alone yielded a thirteen-page synopsis and 800,000 words. However, I'll indulge in it. Recent thoughts: What?! You mean my eight-foot-tall, double-hammer-wielding Miss Sea Hammer, who can fight sea monsters for three hundred rounds, doesn't actually exist?! [Crying] I don't accept this! [Crying] Give me back Miss Sea Hammer!

But according to rumors in the martial world, this is a man with a woman's beauty. He is highly skilled in martial arts and as cold as ice. His dagger seems capable of killing every living thing under heaven. He can kill a man every ten steps and leave no trace after a thousand miles, yet he has a fiercely independent streak unlike anyone else in the martial world.

Our A-Yue is an exceptionally kind, strong, and gentle little girl... In short, Fourth Sister, you and your friends must be happy... The protagonist transmigrates into the body of a hunted shark, escapes successfully, and is (forced) to stir up trouble in the martial arts world in order to maintain his peaceful daily life. And the author's unique literary jokes: outsiders see the family property and assume it belongs to gay men, only for readers to realize they're shipping lesbians, when in reality we all know they're both straight (trying not to laugh).
9 Chronicles of the Vast Realms 大千行观录 Green Robe Beyond the Pass关外青衣No CP9.7M WordsOngoing Novel blurb A not-so-serious introduction: Xu Muhan, the daughter of a drunken scholar, nearly gets sold off, but luckily she runs as soon as she hears about it. Then she wakes up with a tower of her own. That really does feel like she ran into a ghost. Well, there's a spirit floating around inside the tower, too, so yes, she really did run into a ghost...

It's rare to see slow-burning, long cultivation novels these days, where the protagonist is content to farm and earn only two low-grade spirit stones a month.

Chaotic and chaotic ancient Chinese literature about raising children—you know, sometimes people just have a craving for that kind of thing. The main group includes a male snake, but in my eyes, he's the epitome of a vicious beauty.

It's a slow-paced time-travel story, but it has a significant ancient setting. The protagonist is tragic, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a protagonist with such a fragile, canary-like (?) Quality.

In the context of feudal society, the imperial concubine and the empress form wings; this is such a bold writing style, I must spoil the author! I think the line that best captures the essence of palace intrigue literature is, "No, the Emperor's greatest love isn't me, nor is it the Imperial Concubine; he loves himself most." It powerfully exposes the exploitation of humanity, especially women, by feudal society and the harem. Their love is real, it's pure love, you two must be happy!
