When he's six, his older brother Ji Su kills off all the disobedient princes. In this vast empire, only two princes remain: one is eighteen, the other six.

   Curator note

   "Pseudo-Bone" features a super suspicious, feudalistic overbearing seme (top) and a laid-back, suspicious uke (bottom). It's a tale of scheming and intrigue, a tool for honing one's cunning, with satisfying tension and easy read-to-read-in-one. The romance might be slightly disjointed, but it's very compelling. The epilogue is slightly out of character.

2. 2 咸 The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Shadow Guard 咸鱼暗卫打工日常 Lu Shi鹿拾Danmei (BL)682k WordsCompleted [Pre-release: The blurb for My Intelligence Is Unclear, but My Luck Is Incredible is at the end] Shijiu, an overworked office worker, accidentally dies after pulling an all-nighter. When he opens his eyes, he discovers he has transmigrated to ancient times. Before he can celebrate his new lease on life, he receives some devastating news: He has become a shadow guard.

   A cool-faced, adorable cat-like bottom x a cunning, sly fox-like top; the couple is quite cute. Haven't finished reading it yet, more to come... Giving it five stars for now, will revise after finishing. [Okay]

Apparently, he was a real troublemaker, making him just what this world needed to strengthen its underpowered villain faction. He would make his entrance as the second senior brother of Shenhua Sect, the strongest immortal sect, returning from his travels. With his own two hands, he would turn the sect upside down and leave it in chaos.

5. 5 殿 Why Is Your Highness So Flustered? 殿下为何如此心虚 Watermelon Stir-Fried with Meat西瓜炒肉Danmei (BL)542k WordsCompleted In the twenty-third year of the Xuanqing era, the Crown Prince died, and the capital was thrown into turmoil. Shen Chiyi had transmigrated into a book, but as a bit-part character, a useless young lord. The imperial power struggle had nothing to do with him. He kept up the appearance of a sickly, good-for-nothing fool, while secretly traveling to Jiangnan under an assumed identity. By chance, he met a noble young man who had fallen on hard times. The young noble was refined, graceful, handsome 429.5kFavorites376.3kClicks/ch1MGifts

   Curator note

   The young couple is quite sweet. The romance is about 60/40; the love story is well-written, sweet and without any angst. The plot is good in the beginning but average later on; the villain's departure and the ending are handled quickly. Overall, it's acceptable. Objectively 4 stars, subjectively 5 stars, because 11 is so cute [cat emoji]

6. 6 女 After Crossdressing and Provoking Long AoTian 女装招惹龙傲天后 Magical Girl Tu Yingjun魔法少女兔英俊Danmei (BL)802k WordsCompleted Yu Qingtang transmigrated into a book, becoming an anonymous passerby in a tiny sect who barely appeared in the story. A full-text search turned up his name fewer than three times. The book might as well not have existed. He thought he had nothing to do with the plot and could simply enjoy life as a cultivator. But when he was twelve, his sect couldn't scrape together four female cultivators, so he missed the women's skills (mahjong) competition among the immortal sects. His eldest senior siste 315.8kFavorites462.9kClicks/ch459.3kGifts

   A sweet romance novel featuring a pure and innocent young couple. It's a cultivation-themed story with well-developed characters, clear logic, and a flawless plot. [Cat emoji] Everyone is great, the couple's love is truly pure, and it's sweet throughout.

8. 8 穿 I Turned into a Cat and Was Taken in by the Demon Lord 穿成猫后被魔尊养了 Chiran炽然Danmei (BL)155k WordsCompleted [The complete story costs just 2.8 yuan. I beg you to support the official release.] Xu Xili transmigrated into a book. He ended up in a formulaic cultivation novel as a spirit pet who offended the main villain, the Demon Venerable, right at the beginning, then got slapped to death by him before even surviving a chapter. As soon as Xu Xili transmigrated, he found himself locked in a cage. At the same time, he heard the Demon Venerable, seated above him, say coldly, “Kill it.” “...!” Seeing tha 43.4kFavorites82kClicks/ch14.7kGifts

From the moment he was born, he occupied an extremely exalted position. His third brother, the emperor, never suspected him and cherished him like his own heart. His wonderful life continues until he learns that his third brother is King Zhou from Investiture of the Gods. Zi Sheng stares blankly at his impossibly strong third brother, who is affectionately ruffling his hair. Determined to change the fate of the Y 120.9kFavorites294.8kClicks/ch241.2kGifts

   Curator note

   A story combining elements of the prehistoric era and the Investiture of the Gods, featuring strong protagonists and satisfying plot twists. The romance isn't handled very well, but the overall storyline is decent, and the main characters' sibling rivalry is quite good.

10. 10 还 Such a Good Thing Exists? 还有此等好事？ Yi Cong Yin一丛音Danmei (BL)583k WordsCompleted Wu Lingchan was a prodigy renowned throughout the Three Realms, until his Golden Core shattered and his fellow disciples schemed against him during a secret-realm trial, leaving him gravely wounded and on the brink of death. When he woke, he was in the Demon Realm. The good news: he was actually the long-lost youngest son of the Demon Lord. The bad news: his father’s title as Demon Lord was all but empty, and the one truly in power was his adoptive son, the older brother he had in name only. H 344.8kFavorites321.4kClicks/ch671.9kGifts

    The main story is complete, happy ending. It's a pseudo-incestuous brother-sister/older man relationship, and the character Kunkun is really cute [cat emoji]. The plot flows smoothly without major flaws, maybe a little bit angsty (but personally, I think it's alright and not too much). The characters are all well-developed, and the male lead's character is quite interesting—a hypocrite who's not proficient in the six arts, which feels quite rare [glasses emoji]. I feel the romance and plot are about 60/40, the pacing is brisk, and the boss dies pretty quickly. In short, Kunkun, you're truly worthy!

11. 11 穿 I Became the Only Hatchling in the Dragon Clan 穿成龙族唯一的幼崽 Nan Shu婻书Danmei (BL)986k WordsCompleted The Divine Dragon Clan is born powerful, the foremost of the demon gods. Even the Heavenly Emperor holds them in awe. In the Three Realms, they can practically swish their tails and strut wherever they please. Of the fifty paths of the Great Dao, the heavenly way derives forty-nine, leaving one opening for all things. The powerful Dragon Clan has one fatal weakness: producing offspring is difficult. It’s so difficult that no new dragon hatchling has been born in nearly ten thousand years. Whenev 174kFavorites420.5kClicks/ch337.3kGifts

    Second reading. A story about raising a child and being pampered by the family; the dragon cub is adorable. The plot is relatively flat, sweet all the way through, no angst, no major upheavals, a satisfying read, and the main characters are truly pampered by the family.

    Curator note

    I followed this story for a long time after experiencing writer's block. The protagonist is reborn, having suffered greatly in his previous life. The character design is good, the romance between the main couple is sweet, and the love story has no major flaws. The main villain's character is very well-developed and memorable. A few plot points are a bit awkward, but overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits. Personally, I'd give it a 5 out of 5, and objectively a 4. [Cat emoji]

13. 13 修 A Cultivator's Separation 修真式分居 Big Dumpling大圆子Danmei (BL)246k WordsCompleted Five years ago, the Qian Kun Secret Realm opened, and every sect in the cultivation world sent its finest young disciples there to gain experience. Five years later, the secret realm closed and everyone returned. But Mu Lingshen, former young master and now sect master of the Bingxuan Sect, had gained an adorable daughter as cold as snow: his own flesh and blood. Everyone speculated about which immortal maiden was the child's mother. Who could have stirred worldly desires in Sect Master Mu, only 26.8kFavorites90.5kClicks/ch11.3kGifts

    Curator note

    A sweet romance novel with a mpreg element. There are some misunderstandings between the main characters, mutual unrequited love, and they're both a bit silly. [Glasses emoji] I read this older novel a while ago, so I don't remember most of the plot, but overall it's pretty good and worth reading. [Cat emoji]
