   This is a template-level story in contemporary online novels featuring a younger man and his apprentice in a time-travel romance. It's not that everyone has read it, but those writing in this genre today are definitely influenced by it. Its trendy premise at the time still feels fresh and relevant today. I love it.

   This is a straightforward, easy-to-read story. While no single plot point is particularly captivating, the writing is smooth, the pacing is comfortable, and it keeps you reading. You become immersed in the story while simultaneously understanding its message. Rereading *Liu Yao* is definitely a good option when you're unsure what to do next.

3. 3 仙 The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path 仙道第一小白脸 Fourteen Continents一十四洲Danmei (BL)651k WordsCompleted I have a wonderful sect. They’ve never looked down on me for having poor natural aptitude, never forced me to practice martial arts, and even arranged a childhood betrothal for me. My fiancée is a famous, domineering heiress. She’s beautiful, powerful, and loves me dearly. Later, as I traveled the martial world, I relied on her protection and became the most famous kept pretty boy in the immortal cultivation world. One day, I discovered that this person seemed to be a man. He was disguising him 634.5kFavorites721kClicks/ch500.9kGifts

   Absolutely amazing! The plot is incredible, no need to elaborate. The early part is lighthearted fantasy, dungeon crawling, monster slaying, leveling up, and even has online game elements—oh my god, the adorable school life… The "Snowy Night Discussion" is, I feel, the section that best expresses the book's philosophy. Just as there is a Heavenly Way in the world, everyone has their own Way and is following their own path. The romance and the "One Sword Nine Armor" theme have a subtle sense of heaviness. Later on, it felt like I was watching Evangelion again—not only was the protagonist's story complete, but mine was too. Although the overall narrative ultimately returns to its origin, forming a closed loop, the plot has a fluid feel, with a strong sense of everything moving forward. Important characters have origins and destinations, like the flowing river of light described in the story. There are many corresponding parts throughout the text; multiple readings provide an excellent experience. In short, absolutely amazing!

4. 4 回 Back to the Immortal Venerable's Youth [Book Transmigration] 回到仙尊少年时[穿书] Concubine in Shanyang妾在山阳Danmei (BL)590k WordsCompleted [The physical edition of Volume 2 goes on sale June 1. Its published title is Knowing You.] Yan Qing transmigrates into a melodramatic cultivation novel as a child: the most popular villain, a beautiful, tragic figure. As an adult, the villain is a peerless genius of breathtaking elegance. As a child, he is pitiful and nearly starves to death in the bitter winter. The cultivation world is full of dangers, and to survive, Yan Qing has to pull out every trick in the book. He can act sweet and inn 578.5kFavorites828.4kClicks/ch524.8kGifts

   This is a story with obvious satisfying moments; the most engaging parts can be found by scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) tags for half an hour. Just kidding! The characters and plot are so interesting that it keeps you reading, but following this serialized novel would be torture. I didn't even get into the main plot after finishing the whole book, but the way the main characters interacted was hilarious. And the shady sisterly relationship between the supporting characters is so appealing… (I'm not saying they're actually incestuous).

5. 5 百 The Million-Follower YouTuber Scholar Acts for Me Every Day 百万UP学神天天演我 Xiao Xiao小霄Danmei (BL)631k WordsCompleted 507.7kFavorites542.3kClicks/ch570.2kGifts

   Curator note

   Reading this one story felt like I'd been scrolling through Bilibili for half a month. So many memes, and it felt like coming home. The radio drama's ending theme went viral, it seems to have gone from being a minor work to a major hit. So many really good... Lighthearted and funny little treats that make you feel good deserve to be enjoyed by the whole world. I especially love the cuteness of the main characters' nicknames, Mimi and Miaomiao.

6. 6 太 Supreme Year 太岁 priestNo CP1.2M WordsCompleted “If I had a choice, I’d rather be a tiny ant among the mortal world, living in ignorance and dying in obscurity, never seeing the light of day beneath the fog of Jinping City. That would be better than taking this treacherous path to the heavens.” A steampunk cultivation world. Updates around eleven. If I can’t update, I’ll post a notice. Warning: Long and tedious.

   Curator note

   After coming up with this book list title, I went to my favorites and started with "Tai Sui" (太岁), then picked up other books. Amazing! It's both niche and mainstream, perfectly capturing the theme of the book list, and it's genuinely good. The tag is "no-romance, male-centric cultivation novel." I think it's more like a massive ensemble piece, cruelly depicting how many people came and went, leaving only an emptiness in the end. The protagonist's perspective and timeline are stretched too far; in the end, nothing is left, just a vast, clean white expanse. After reading it, I felt like the most melancholic person in the world.

7. 7 黄EN The Golden Terrace 黄金台 Cangwu Bin Bai苍梧宾白Danmei (BL)312k WordsCompleted [The print edition of “Golden Terrace” is now available.] A notorious imperial enforcer and a celebrated general can't stand each other. They're sworn enemies through and through. But fate has other plans: the general is injured on the battlefield, left with crippled legs, and then granted in marriage by the emperor to his sworn enemy. A single imperial decree forces the two men who despise each other to marry and live under the same roof. As time passes, they discover that the other isn't so co 398.4kFavorites400.4kClicks/ch168.1kGifts

   Arranged marriage, love blossoms later, hehehehehe. The powerful minister is the top, the general is the bottom, hehehehe. Your flirting is so captivating! I can't even imagine how mesmerized I would have been if I'd read this book when I was younger.

8. 8 揽 Embracing the Bright Moon 揽明月 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)736k WordsCompleted Wang Dian transmigrates. He’s wearing a suit and holding a bottle of red wine. To his left are fierce generals with swords and knives in hand; to his right, civil officials in wide-sleeved robes, proud and unyielding as frost. They all kneel together and call him Your Majesty. Wang Dian grips the wine bottle and tells them to rise. Being an emperor from the start isn’t so bad. But as soon as he enters the bedchamber, he sees a man who looks exactly like him. “I never knew such a strange thing co 396.7kFavorites447.9kClicks/ch552.6kGifts

   Curator note

   So satisfying…so satisfying…This is a regular on my must-read list. The romance between these two characters is so exhilarating it's giving me goosebumps. If the romance in the first few books was subtle—not bland, but just a feeling of subtlety—then this one is incredibly intense. A truly explosive, vibrant intensity. If you like this kind of story, please read it!

9. 9 幻 Fantasy Farm 幻想农场 Xi Zixu西子绪Danmei (BL)700k WordsCompleted After being fired, Lu Qingjiu finally decides to return to his hometown and take up farming. First, he raises a pig, then discovers that it’s better at advanced math than he is. Next, he raises a flock of chickens, then realizes his fighting ability is one-tenth of a chicken’s. Finally, Lu Qingjiu realizes that something about his hometown seems a little off... especially a certain person who keeps staring at him with shining eyes.

   Cute, incredibly cute! The impression it leaves is one of lighthearted and happy reading. Hilarious and absurd, it feels so relatable and is absolutely perfect – it's so delicious it makes your mouth water!

A rota is posted on the forensic clinic door at the corner of the third floor of Kanghe Hospital: Mondays and Wednesdays: Municipal Public Security Bureau; Tuesdays and Thursdays: District Public Security Bureau Of course, that’s all ordinary people can see.

    Curator note

    I saw someone say that Judge is the pro version of this book, and I think that's quite true. But I like this book more than Judge. First, the pacing of the short stories is more to my liking, and second, this book is much more youthful than Judge.

11. 11 无EN Peerless 无双 Meng Xishi梦溪石Danmei (BL)697k WordsCompleted In the third year of Kaihuang, the great Sui dynasty, which followed the Northern Dynasties and would pave the way for the glorious Tang, has only just begun. Emperor Yang Jian establishes the Sword-Bearing Office to plan for the future, keep his schemes secret, and unify the realm. On a snowy night, a tribute caravan from the Kingdom of Khotan is ambushed and slaughtered en route, leaving no survivors. Feng Xiao, second chief of the Sword-Bearing Office, is ordered by the emperor to investigate 352.4kFavorites346.8kClicks/ch423.7kGifts

    "Dynasty Warriors" is so good. Needless to say, it's so good that you'll understand once you start reading. It makes me want to beg Meng Xishi to write a 500,000-word epilogue for his novel to make it even better. The interactions between the main characters are hilarious; I laughed so hard my jaw dislocated watching them bicker that I didn't even realize it. I reread it, and after two days, I developed a "jianghu sickness" (a term referring to a kind of martial arts fanaticism). At the same time, I unfortunately stumbled upon a promotional video for a martial arts game, and then everything was ruined.

12. 12 闲 To Leisurely Sweep Fallen Flowers with the Immortals 闲与仙人扫落花 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)1.3M WordsCompleted As the most promising second-generation immortal, Jiang Gu had made unifying the immortal realm his life’s mission, until the love tribulation delayed for three thousand years finally appeared. According to the Immortal Ascension Bureau’s statistics, the fastest way to weather a love tribulation was to combine the Heartless Path with a master-disciple relationship. Jiang Gu took his sword and descended to the mortal realm. His plan was three years of courtship, five years of love, and then to k 347kFavorites273.2kClicks/ch505.3kGifts

    Curator note

    It's a long novel... A really long one... I went in expecting a monster-hunting and leveling-up story, but the leveling-up aspect was actually quite good! It still features the intensely emotional storyline typical of Gui Hong Luo Xue. It was so fast-paced and enjoyable, it made me feel a little nervous.

13. 13 不 Not For 不为 Returning Geese in Falling Snow归鸿落雪Danmei (BL)812k WordsCompleted Originally titled “The Villainous Cultivator Got a Child After Losing a Battle” The demonic cultivator Ning Buwei was arrogant and haughty. His Vermilion Bird Saber drank the blood of seventeen provinces, and everyone in the cultivation world feared and trembled at the mention of his name. One hundred and twenty sects of the Righteous Alliance joined forces to hunt him down. Ning Buwei was defeated, fell into the Endless River, and disappeared. He woke up by the river with his Vermilion Bird S 189.2kFavorites238.4kClicks/ch130kGifts

    Curator note

    It's a story of pure parental love, with incredibly cute interactions between the main characters. I don't usually like stories about having children and raising kids, but I accepted it in zero seconds – it's all about spoiling them and calling them "Leopard Cat."

14. 14 一 Sword of Jiuya 一剑九琊 Fourteen Continents一十四洲Danmei (BL)256k WordsCompleted They say Ye Jiuya possesses peerless martial arts and unparalleled beauty. Countless men and women have fallen for him at first sight. I was no exception. Aloof, icy sword cultivator seme, the flower atop a high peak x gentle, free-spirited young master uke The Qixi Festival bonus chapter is in the author's note at the end of the final chapter.

    Curator note

    A profound story with tenderness and melodramatic twists—it's such a gripping read, my phone suddenly feels so heavy. I've forgotten most of the plot, but I have a strong impression of the epilogue and the final chapter. "A vast world, a grand dream." That perfectly encapsulates the ending of this book.

15. 15 怀 Blade in Hand 怀刃 As Though I Heard如似我闻Danmei (BL)398k WordsCompleted “In this world of martial arts, sects feud and good and evil clash. There's nowhere to drink in peace, yet bones can be buried everywhere. Winning fame under heaven is nothing but striving to outdo others; grudges and passions all come down to overflowing self-interest. I've seen all its sights, and the mountains and rivers are much the same. I've thought about leaving this mundane world behind and putting an end to everything.” “Because you hadn't met me yet.” Pairing: An attacker who only wan 80.8kFavorites50.2kClicks/ch23.4kGifts

    Free novel. It's good; I've forgotten a lot of the plot, but I still remember how good it was. The interactions between the main characters are particularly fun, and the main storyline flows smoothly from beginning to end—very enjoyable. A very exciting story with many interesting supporting characters, and the protagonist is so cute!

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

    Guihong Luoxue, I love you… I searched the entire internet for the cutest authors who write about angsty, ambiguous relationships, and this is what happened to me? I really love the main storyline where the romance unfolds naturally, and the demon-catching is so good…
