Feel free to follow it. This book should end with the unification of the Six Kingdoms. I'll cover the full story of Great Qin in this one. I'll write the post-unification story right after, since there's far too much to cover. Kong Lan was born into a family of doctors, but despite their objections, she threw herself into politics and became a poverty alleviation 71.4kFavorites85kClicks/ch227kGifts

   Curator note

   It's not finished yet, but it's great! The female protagonist travels back to the Qin Dynasty and does practical things for the people of Qin, so it's a pretty satisfying read. There's no romance yet (hopefully not), and her relationship with the emperor is just that of a superior and subordinate. It's so good, so satisfying!

4. 4 五 The Military Industrial Compound in the 1950s 五十年代军工大院 Deer Grass鹿子草Romance1.6M WordsCompleted Ye Manzhi’s view of herself: the prettiest flower in the military-industrial compound, and the glue that keeps her family harmonious. That is, until she sees a line of text above her third sister-in-law’s forehead: [When is this home-wrecker finally marrying into Director Zhou’s family?

   It's written in such detail! Even after finishing it, I was still hoping for more; I hadn't had enough. The career and romance storylines are both exceptionally well-developed, with career as the primary focus and romance secondary. The writing style is unique and often surprising, unlike many weak and simplistic articles these days. I learned a lot from the author's perspectives, methods, and mindset. Thank you, author. This book is incredibly detailed; sometimes I wonder if the author traveled back in time, haha.

5. 5 微 I Choose Who Gets to Be The Emperor 微臣选谁谁才是皇上 Vanishing Green Moss消失绿缇Danmei (BL)761k WordsCompleted Wen Zhuo, head of the Hanlin Academy, was born into poverty and suffered constant bullying until his personality became twisted. He had a taste for men. Just then, the old emperor fell gravely ill, and the seven princes formally began their struggle for the throne. The Sixth Prince suddenly declared that there was nothing shameful about loving someone of the same sex. Once he ascended the throne, he would allow open discussion and set the record straight. Wen Zhuo believed him. He stirred up tu 287.4kFavorites263.7kClicks/ch521.6kGifts

   I love Wen Zhuo the cat [shy]. It's not a very complex political story; it's purely a cat revenge tale, very enjoyable to read. The protagonist is reborn, and the other protagonist transmigrates.

6. 6 大 Your Majesty, You Absolutely Mustn’t! 大王万万不可！ Your Glory你的荣光Danmei (BL)1.1M WordsCompleted [Complete. Bonus chapter coming August 20] Xiao Rong transmigrated to ancient times and became a strategist serving a regional king in an era when heroes vied for supremacy. The king was stubborn, refused to heed advice, was sensitive and suspicious, valued military strength over scholarship, and, most importantly, was cruel and bloodthirsty. He had every trait of a ruler destined to lose his country, and Xiao Rong was still forced to assist him. Xiao Rong had already been doomed to die, but 412.2kFavorites563.9kClicks/ch666.9kGifts

   I subscribed to the whole book; it was very good. I've forgotten the specifics of the content, but I remember it being exceptionally good.

He achieved success in his youth, then lost love as he grew old. A friend he'd trusted got involved with his lover behind his back. When he was knocked off a cliff, he thought he was about to leave this world for good. But fate had other plans... ...and in the end, he came back.

   Curator note

   I read this entertainment industry novel a long time ago, and it's still the best of all the ones I've read. The male lead is reborn, stays away from scumbags, and develops his career. The career storyline is very well written, and while the romance is less prominent, it's still quite sweet. For a while, they even posted related content on social media. I've read it several times; the career arc is really satisfying to watch, haha. I also love the male lead's personality—he's very talented and his acting is superb.

8. 8 狗 The Tool Character in Dogblood Novels Refuses to Lose [Quick Transmigration] 狗血文工具人他绝不认输[快穿] Shang Hongyao商红药Danmei (BL)918k WordsCompleted [Recommended Quick Transmigration title, now available for pre-order: *Becoming a Scumbag Tycoon’s Underling [Quick Transmigration]*] Everyone knows that the male leads in melodramatic novels can’t force a relationship without help from their sidekicks. These sidekicks might be the male lead’s butler, an on-call doctor, or an all-knowing, all-capable executive assistant… Gu Chaoyu’s job is to play one of these roles. In a wholesome campus romance, he is the butler. When the male lead brings the 95kFavorites199.9kClicks/ch67.4kGifts

   Curator note

   My favorite quick transmigration novel, similar in genre to "The Cultivation Guide to a White Moonlight," and it's already finished. It seems only the first world has a bad ending. In every world, the male lead is incredibly loving and possessive.

9. 9 网 The Leisurely Life of an Internet-Famous Cat 网红猫的悠闲生活 Xing Zhutao杏逐桃Danmei (BL)830k WordsCompleted The ongoing story The Comic Villain Becomes Everyone’s Beloved has started updating Su Wen, who’d spent ten years struggling through the apocalypse, was reborn. Well, reborn as a little orange cat. What could be better than not having to kill zombies or struggle to make ends meet, and getting delicious food every day?

   The main character is a cat whose soul transmigrates from the apocalypse into the body of a kitten in the present day. It's incredibly cute and heartwarming, with a slice-of-life storyline where you see the world from the kitten's perspective. So adorable!

10. 10 你 Go Ahead, Try Hiding Again 你再躲试试 Jin Xian今闲Danmei (BL)304k WordsCompleted Ye Yao realized he had fallen in love with his friend, Lu Xun. They ate and slept together, were almost inseparable, and were each other's best friend. From what Ye Yao had observed over the years, Lu Xun was as straight as they came. On top of that, he was so handsome and eye-catching that he easily attracted guys who were into men. Whenever someone like that showed up, Lu Xun would cut ties without hesitation. Even if they had been on good terms before, he'd block them without a second thoug 500.8kFavorites699.6kClicks/ch175.5kGifts

    This book was practically my gateway into campus BL novels. I love those stories where the protagonist has a crush on the other guy, but the guy is homophobic, and in the end, the protagonist distances himself from the other guy, only for the other guy to pursue him instead, hahaha, dddd

    This is a hilarious story. My boyfriend was sleeping when I read it last time, so I didn't even get to read it because I was laughing so hard I was shaking [laughing and crying emojis]. I wanted to burst out laughing. The main character is considered a god (but he's not), and he's incredibly popular.

    I love how adorable the uke's human-machine interaction is [laughing and crying emoji]. The seme's love is as deep as ever. Many worlds end in tragedy, with a touch of bittersweetness, but that's what makes it so satisfying. It's a shame the ending felt rushed and not quite right.

13. 13 蒸 The Gourmet Tycoon of the Steam Age 蒸汽时代的美食大亨 White Star with Antlers鹿角白星Danmei (BL)1.9M WordsOngoing To catch the first batch of mushrooms this year, Song Xi boarded a flight to Yunnan Province. He had even prepared himself for accidentally getting mushroom poisoning and seeing little dancing people. But before he could try any mushrooms, the plane crashed... His only last words were that he hadn't tasted nearly enough delicious food in his life. What a shame. Perhaps it simply wasn't his time to die, because Song Xi opened his eyes again. He found himself in an age of clanging steel and steam. 21.3kFavorites21.6kClicks/ch80.2kGifts

    I haven't finished reading this yet; it's still ongoing. I like the protagonist's personality—gentle and refined—and it also includes some food elements.
