1. 1 春 Swallows Return in Spring 春归燕 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)566k WordsOngoing Xiao Chunhe is a fake Taoist priest. Relying on his handsome looks, he goes around swindling people, telling everyone he is Yue Jingming, the greatest Taoist priest around. Yue Jingming spent ten years cultivating in seclusion on a mountain. When he finally emerged, he discovered he was “famous” far and wide, though his fame was for his womanizing. Even the storytellers at the foot of the mountain were spinning tales about the amorous Taoist’s escapades. The sect leader foresaw a calamity that w 39.4kFavorites21.5kClicks/ch209.9kGifts

   It's a kind of corny, flamboyant yet old-fashioned couple. We were never meant to be, but thanks to the flamboyant guy's rumors and the old-fashioned guy's XSR, we became a couple. But sometimes people just want to eat corn. (Walks away with hands behind his back) Old-fashioned guy: (After being sexually harassed, he still has to reflect on himself) Maybe he's a good person, but there's a reason why he acted this way. Me: My God, is this a saint? The comments section feels like it's full of nonsensical remarks about how you'll definitely end up in a crematorium. I'm exhausted, I'll read it again when I'm in the mood. I caught some glimpses of the quartet's chivalrous and virtuous moments in the latest content, and I'm back to normal. As long as I ignore the scathing comments, they won't hurt me. Anyway, that's right, that's it—pure-hearted, chivalrous, strict with themselves, and lenient with others. Just kidding. I wasn't really in control. I broke down. A saint shouldn't flirt with someone when a child is in danger. That's not saintly at all. I can't accept it. (Broken down) I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I deducted 2 points because I was emotionally hurt, and 1 point because of the author's, uh, die-hard fan group... While everyone has their favorite author, if all readers are like this... It instills a sense of fear (euphemistically) in me towards the author.

Jin Man finished the divorce proceedings, left the child behind, and walked into the security checkpoint alone with his luggage. He unexpectedly got a call from his ex-husband's mother and answered it. “Jin Man, you have to keep your dignity, but once you married into the Lu family, you threw it away. If you want it back, you should ask Yanlin whether he wants you to. Come back, and we can talk things over properly.” Jin Man was bewildered.

   The author still knows how to write with such a bittersweet flavor, capturing the essence of each character being both pitiful and hateful yet endearing, and ultimately destined for a brutal, catastrophe-like ending. I've rarely seen anyone write this well, managing to make the reader simultaneously feel a visceral shock and subconsciously start exhaling.

7. 7 簪 Flower Pins on a Night Journey 簪花夜行 Xuan Jian玄笺Baihe (GL)355k WordsCompleted “Auntie, you're so beautiful. Why don't you have someone you love?” “How do you know I don't?” Couple: Commander and Embroidered Uniform Guard Captain Notes: 1. A just-for-fun project, and probably not very long. The main characters aren't related by blood in any way. 2. Set in an imaginary dynasty. The only historical reference is the Ming dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard ranks. Everything else is made up, so please don't nitpick the history. 3. For now, six updates a week, with Thursdays 33.5kFavorites41kClicks/ch50.9kGifts

   I was a bit of a fan of the "cult leader" (or "cult leader") for a while. He's strong, shameless, and still gets ruthlessly exploited by his sister – it's kind of cute.

    I have a feeling of really enjoying reading it back then, but why did I stop reading it later? Wait, could this be the story where the protagonist is actually an alien but falls in love with being a star? Holy crap, this is giving me psychological trauma! (Screams)

    It was some kind of literature about cooking while piloting a spaceship. I don't know the main plot, and I've forgotten the details, but I always wanted to taste that flavor.

    Great! These are jokes about the katana user, full of references and stereotypes. Although I've never played Monster Hunter, I enjoy reading katana user jokes.

    The story of the protagonist and his 12345 sword-wielding brothers portrays the protagonist as a super idealized, unattainable figure, but I still so easily became a fan of the supporting characters.

    Curator note

    The protagonist claims to be unfamiliar with everyone, but I find him to be a nice person who has saved many people. I'm waiting to see how he gets possessed and what he'll do after that. Or rather, I think the protagonist might actually protect the world if he becomes possessed.

He doesn't think he's an ominous person. He just plays funeral drums. What's so bad about 1.7kFavorites970Clicks/ch2.3kGifts

    Curator note

    This is a memoir of a deceased husband, plus a countdown to his death! Everyone, back off!!! Overall, it's very well written, with a very sad tone and genuine emotions. Aside from the fact that the main character's love interest has been dead forty years and the protagonist himself seems to be nearing death, it's relatively perfect. What I mean is, it's easy to get depressed reading it; I probably can only manage three chapters a day.

    We were never meant to be, but our love is a perfect example of pheromones working together. We enjoy the feeling of two people kissing and nibbling at each other until we both knock each other out.

    I've forgotten whether I finished reading that kind of literature about cleaning up pollutants back then, but I'm rereading it now. I have a slight crush on the (I'm making this up) pairing of the eldest and second eldest brothers.
