   December 25, 2023: I'm interested in the story, but honestly, the writing style still has a lot of room for improvement.

2. 2 娇 Can a Pampered Couch Potato Really Be Pope? 娇气咸鱼也能当教皇吗？ Han Shu寒菽Danmei (BL)386k WordsCompleted One day, His Majesty King Hazel brought home a baby. Though the child's birth mother was unknown, he doted on the little one like a precious treasure, overrode every objection, and stubbornly named the baby his heir. The people speculated about how lowborn the little Crown Prince's mother must be for her identity to be kept secret. What's more, the newly appointed Pope Xuefei didn't even condemn this violation of tradition! How could Pope Xuefei tell anyone that the baby was his own child...

So he clung to Bliss, doing everything he could to trick the human into signing a soul contract with him. When Modai first appeared, he was the picture of righteousness. "I simply admire your face. Don't slander me." Bliss thought, Do you really think I'll believe that? Later, when he got the chance, Modai grew bolder and rubbed up against his master.

   I caught up with it in two or three days on December 25, 2018. It's quite good. The story involves solving cases, getting promoted, and doing business while simultaneously uncovering the mystery of one's origins.

4. 4 厂 That Sissy at the Factory 厂里那个娘娘腔 Listening to Rain Last Night昨夜听雨Danmei (BL)381k WordsOngoing [Updates at midnight. I've been very busy lately, so the schedule may be irregular. Don't wait up; you can read in the morning.] Looking back, the thing Zhao Fenggen regretted most in his life was sneaking into Su Qinshu's dormitory in the middle of the night: He learned an ugly secret he shouldn't have known, and from then on became a thorn in someone's side. The marriage arrangement he'd had with a girl he liked also became a complete joke because that damn sissy interfered. He would never f 2.7kFavorites2.6kClicks/ch6kGifts

   25.12.10 This is a 2010s-era story with excellent writing, full of life and realism. It features a rough, straightforward Northern man and a refined, cultured Southern man. It's quite realistic, and both the male and female leads have personality flaws, bordering on homophobic. Potential triggers: The male lead is chaste, while the female lead is not (this is mentioned because it's not in the synopsis; it's not the author's or my trigger, but I hope those who don't like this genre won't read it). The male lead is very straight and wants to marry a woman; he has assaulted the female lead two or three times. I'm deducting one star purely because I'm so frustrated by the censorship [helpless]. Chapters 19, 25, 29, and 31 each contain several sections that were cut due to failing censorship. I checked the author's Weibo for chapters 19 and 25, but it seems the author was too lazy to contact them privately for chapters 29 and 31. Chapter 31 actually has more censored parts, but I don't care; you can use your imagination. Honestly, on Jinjiang, either be a master of censorship or don't do it at all. I once saw a particularly outrageous one where almost the entire chapter was "deleted" or "completely deleted," which was incredibly frustrating.

5. 5 他 He's Done Being a Dutiful Husband 他不做贤夫了 Star, Water, Wood星水木Danmei (BL)462k WordsOngoing [I'm retiring. Goodbye, Host.] These were the words Zhou Du heard in the sixth year after he was reborn. He looked reluctant on the outside, but was thrilled on the inside. Six years ago, Zhou Du died and was reborn in the body of an unknown nobody in a remote star system. To stay alive, he followed the System's instructions and won over the original story's villain. For that, he became the villain's partner and diligently played the role of a virtuous husband. Finally, in the seventh year, th 1.7kFavorites1.1kClicks/ch2.2kGifts

6. 6 哥 My Brother's Male Lord 哥哥的雄主 Cai Cai Flying Everywhere菜菜满天飞Danmei (BL)328k WordsOngoing On the day of his triumphant return, the Empire's youngest general, Yser Lancaster, fell in love at first sight with his older brother's male spouse. To make him his, he closed in step by step and resorted to any means necessary, setting a trap called "love". But he forgot one thing: The best hunters always appear as prey. Who, exactly, will be caught in this trap called love? From the day Sells was forced to marry into the Lancaster family, he began plotting his escape.

   December 4, 2025. This is so exciting! You can tell from the title that it's about stealing someone's partner. An ensemble piece, a very long story, multiple couples, and the ending seems a long way off (I feel like I've fallen into a pit and am about to cry).

   Curator note

   September 4, 25th. This is a Zerg novel that even non-Zerg fans can enjoy. You can feel that the author is carefully building a Zerg world, with various settings written in detail and logically. 12.02 It's no exaggeration to say that the reason I made this book list is entirely because I wanted to recommend this story. I also considered posting it on Xiaohongshu, but I couldn't figure out how to write it. Luckily, other readers recommended it, and the number of favorites increased. This story definitely deserves more favorites; I estimate it could reach 20,000 to 30,000, but 50,000 might be a bit risky, since this genre is relatively niche. There are also some "triggers": it's not suitable for those with a strong preference for the seme or uke (though those with a low preference for seme or uke might be able to read it, as I don't really understand what "preference" means). The uke, as a female soldier, initially appears as a handsome young boy (a limited version in the early stages). The seme initially appears as a human and is forced to escape the clutches of the Insect Emperor Lao Deng in chapter 39 (the Insect Emperor is a very charming character, but not the main heroine). Later, the Insect Emperor will become pregnant with the seme's child (this child was mentioned in the extra chapter released in advance at chapter 100, but the uke hasn't become pregnant yet). Okay, I think I've covered the potential "criticism points." Now, it's time for pure subjective praise. I believe this story has the potential to break into the mainstream and attract readers like myself who are outside the Zerg fiction community (I was scared away from many overused Zerg stories and haven't touched them for years). It truly captures the terrifying and cruel side of the Zerg world. (To be continued)

Luckily, Yu Shu saved his life, and he made it back alive. Grateful for the favor, Gu Yuting brought Yu Shu home with him. Yu Shu had lived in the mountains since childhood, cut off from the world. He knew nothing about social customs or how the world worked. That was all right. Gu Yuting could teach him, little by little.

   November 26, 2025. I've been looking forward to this story for so long, and it's finally here! I didn't expect it to have supernatural elements; the CEO seme can divine, and the clueless uke is incredibly strong. They're living together after only three chapters, haha, it's kind of like a semi-raising relationship.

   November 23, 2025. It's been a month since the last update. Author, please come back and finish it soon (trying to summon your spirit in cyberpunk). I really loved the beginning; the characters and plot were so engaging, truly amazing. Unfortunately, the author's inspiration seems to come in bursts. The recent chapters felt rushed, maybe because the author is busy in real life too… Following the serialization is painful! I hope to see the author return and finish it. 11.24 What you hold in your heart will surely come to pass. The author really came back to update, waaaaah! The author disappeared again on December 6th. [Laughing and crying emoji]

Hu Xiqing is a fox who has lived for a thousand years, from ancient times into the modern era. Poor thing: a thousand years ago, his inner core was shattered, and for a thousand years he hasn't dared reveal his true form. Kun Chen is a Qiongqi who has lived for four thousand years. This Qiongqi is a god who fled the celestial realm, and he too has had a hard time: after living for four thousand years, he was imprisoned on a sacre 3.2kFavorites2kClicks/ch4.2kGifts

    25.11.13 It took me a few days to catch up, let's talk about it briefly. As a story in itself, I would say it's a captivating tale that makes you eager to read on and see how it unfolds. However, it doesn't seem to be as appealing as mainstream novels. I think the main reason is the ensemble cast plus a lot of flashbacks. A thousand years ago, the fox (the bottom) used a secret technique to interfere with the change of dynasties in the human world, creating a butterfly effect, and a thousand years later, he has to correct those variables. The flashbacks are set in a chaotic world with a large number of characters, and when the battles start, a bunch of place names pop up (I'll have to make a simplified map sometime, otherwise I won't understand how they're fighting for territory). There are also side couples, such as Wen He and Gu. Wen is too ruthless, and I personally hope Gu has a good ending; there's also a couple that seems to have some potential but probably won't develop at all. Actually, each character is very vivid, but with so many characters, it means the main character's screen time will be reduced accordingly, which depends on personal taste and acceptance.

More than twenty years after the imperial bloodline died out, a young stowaway is suddenly found to possess imperial blood. To go from an ordinary person of humble origins to a distinguished member of the imperial family, even as a powerless puppet with such low mental strength he can't pilot a mech, is still the kind of incredible good fortune people envy. Only the stowaway himself 4.6kFavorites2kClicks/ch6.3kGifts

    October 25, 2022. The protagonist's mental strength is only D-rank, but he's incredibly arrogant, haha. He might actually be the true prince. January 26, 2012. The writing is very detailed, interspersed with inner monologues and additional background information, so the plot progresses relatively slowly, but it's still quite enjoyable.

Their homes have been destroyed and order has collapsed, and they must also contend with large numbers of mutated beasts and diseases brought by radioactive clouds. Some humans have been affected by radiation and have "evolved" into vampires, whose food is human blood. The surviving humans have fought back, building a powerful network of safe zones to protect themselves from nature and other creatures.

    October 25, 2020. A group portrait; the cover shows the "evolved" form of the protagonist, whose black hair turns white during evolution, reminding me of the Yellow Springs sword turning white-haired. A supporting character died, which was heartbreaking; I feel like there will be more angst later on.

Then, in the seventh year, the eldest son of the lion family in Dawn District One was murdered. 17kFavorites9kClicks/ch52.1kGifts

    Curator note

    September 5, 2025. I read half of the previous story, "Fei Hong Zuo Xue," and while the writing was good, I didn't finish it because I disliked one of the more troublesome supporting characters. The new story's premise seems quite interesting; the characters exhibit animalistic traits due to their innate genes—for example, the seme has a snake tail, and the uke has ram horns and a ram tail. Currently, both are pretending to be someone else.
