   You can watch it again if you get bored. I just finished another book. All of Xiao Wendan's shou (bottom) characters are so cute! 😚😚 It's like all the love-struck guys in the world have collided in one place, haha. The shou with a doting wife and the love-struck guy are such a perfect match! 😏 It's a pity I didn't follow the updates back then. The comments section was so interesting. I'll be waiting for the next book to start. [Okay] (I haven't read the extra chapters yet, but I can continue reading if I'm looking for something to read.)

   I watch it every now and then, and keep rewatching it. So good! So good! So good! This book is what started my love for slice-of-life stories. The everyday life of ordinary people is so relaxing. The plot and romance are both very well done. Our Deputy Mayor of Chang'an has finally found true love! 😏 My only regret is that there's so little about their married life. I wonder if I'll ever get a bonus chapter in my lifetime! 🥺

   I don't recommend watching it a second time. The storyline is quite complete, the character designs are okay, and I can even ship the couple, although Pei Xu's liking for someone is a bit sudden, but I don't mind. The content is a bit dry, but that's not the main point, so we don't need to be too harsh. Actually, everything else is just average, but at least I enjoyed the story. I don't know what the author has been doing these past few years; the new work is just... Heartbreaking. 💛💛Chinese people really do have a natural talent for stream of consciousness. [😳]

Blurb: People say the ancients were feudal, that women had to remain faithful to one husband for life and never leave the inner quarters. If someone saw their arm, they had to kill themselves. It wasn't until Lu Runrun transmigrated to the Northern Song that she realized this was all a stereotype. In the Northern Song, it was perfectly 63.4kFavorites65kClicks/ch44.3kGifts

   I don't recommend watching it a second time. I've been following this series, and it's been on hiatus. The slice-of-life scenes are well-written, but there are too many typos, and the author rarely corrects them. The ending feels rushed (at least I'm not satisfied). The early plot is good, but the middle twists and turns are overdone. Since it's supposed to be slice-of-life in Bianjing, why did they have to include the "outer gate" scene and use it as a reason to end the main story? The relationships between the female characters are also well-written. But I still don't understand why they had to include the "outer gate" scene to make Runrun leave. [Lying down]

She knew nothing of love, yet saw her destined tribulation on the prophecy stone: Zhu Yushan, a mortal scholar. They were destined to marry, stay together for a hundred years, and then part peacefully. Otherwise, they would bring about the destruction of the Three Realms. Though she couldn’t imagine how a frail scholar could bring down the Three Realms, Shi Xuan went down to the mortal world without hesitation to protect herse 78.9kFavorites71kClicks/ch60kGifts

   I don't recommend watching it a second time. Thankfully, it's been a fairly uneventful daily life. The stone is adorably goofy, and the mountain is constantly trying to figure things out on its own. At least the process of following the updates is quite enjoyable.

   You can watch it again if you get bored. The only downside to this book is that it's too short—not nearly enough to read. It's sweet with a touch of bittersweetness, a worthwhile read (the beginning is sweet and funny, but there's a little bit of heartbreak later on; I recommend reading it all in one go, otherwise you'll end up like me, crying every few minutes for three nights in a row). The straight guy who appears throughout the whole story is really funny, hahaha, his character is firmly established until the very end. [Thumbs up] [Free flowers] 🐶 Enough said, Haoqing99

    I don't recommend watching it a second time. It's not bad. There's a fair amount of political intrigue, but the villains are a bit dim-witted. The transitions in the romance are also quite good, and Wen Zhuo is very cute. However, Xie the idiot and that sixth brother are major detractors. They have too much screen time, and every time they appear, they're disgusting and painfully stupid. There's no back-and-forth between them. The intimate scenes [applause][applause][applause] are great! The author is truly amazing, and the classical Chinese writing is excellent [thumbs up][thumbs up][thumbs up]

    Curator note

    Don't forget to watch it once a year. Palace intrigue is brilliant! The emperor is involved in this one too, but I think the author handled it well, maintaining a distinct overall style. The female lead's acting is superb; her eccentricities are quite captivating. The plot is rich, and the interpersonal relationships are complex. The female lead can occasionally read minds. The story starts off disastrously, and the emperor isn't exactly a saint either.

    Take a look if you have nothing else to do. The first serialized book I followed, and the process of following it was very enjoyable. I will always follow Yao Da. This book continues Yao's previous style, packed with jokes and never engaging in internal conflict. There are also many interactions between Xianzhou and Rousong, and the romance is a significant improvement compared to Yao's other works. Personally, I think this is enough; anything more would seem a bit forced (after all, to be honest, Yao's works have always been known for their compelling plots). The Spring Breeze Emperor is a free spirit who loves silliness, and as a reader, I naturally can't let him down. See the comments section for details. This perfectly illustrates the saying "like father, like son." (You absolutely must read this book with the first few paragraphs of comments; then the book goes from 400,000 words to 600,000 words, which means you've gotten 200,000 words of free from JJ!) 🐶

    I don't recommend watching it a second time. Overall it's alright, but I don't like the author's handling of the ex-husband. That thing is just irritating, and the last part was really outrageous. I've seen too many speechless supporting characters lately and I don't know how to complain... Xiaoyu'er is really lovable, but the seme is like two different people before and after [laughing and crying with face covered] It's too disjointed. When reading the story, I joked that the ruthless path of failure would be effective if I had to retake it, but when I really think about it, it feels a bit abrupt without any transition.

14. 14 妃 The Profession of a Consort 妃嫔这职业 Butterfly Shadow Beneath the Moon月下蝶影Romance360k WordsCompleted Being a proper concubine requires professional ethics. Actually, being a concubine is a pretty good job. I suddenly felt like writing a transmigration story set in the imperial palace. Eat when there's food, drink when there's drink, and fight when there's fighting. If you like stories where the heroine can't help falling in love with the emperor or a prince, don't get your hopes up. The protagonist is a bit of a blockhead. P.S. This is a fictional setting, so please don't scrutinize it too c 142.2kFavorites627.4kClicks/ch57.3kGifts

    If you forget, go back and watch it again and again. My number one palace intrigue novel, it's over ten years old but the plot is still fantastic. The female lead is very clear-headed, and the concubines in the palace aren't brainless villains either. It's very enjoyable to read, and I reread it every year.

    Curator note

    Don't forget to do it at least once a year. I absolutely love it!!! Wen Shi's personality perfectly captured my heart. This is my favorite story by Yao Da. The plot is fantastic, funny yet logically sound, and every character has their own unique traits. Win10 seems to have a huge advantage, but actually, the family never directly carried him; it was mainly through his own efforts and the help of his friends that he completed the game. The design of Frank Hospital at the end was ingenious. I even used the seven-day task requirements for the story to recommend it to my friends, and they all liked it. The game itself is also very unique. The story with the father could easily be a standalone book (am I being too obvious? [Shut up]). As for the romance, well, I think the romance in this book is quite good. During the big factory dungeon, the cat initially treated Cuo Yi Ge as an NPC to build affection with, but later it became clear that they gradually understood each other. After the father's death, the cat was also very lonely. I felt there was a sense of mutual redemption in the middle, and the later part was very sweet (if you like intimate descriptions, ignore what I said; Yao Da will probably only write hugs at this point).
