   Tang Sanzang was truly pitiful! So-called order and rules constrain the majority, benefiting only a minority. If a pig didn't want to be eaten, would it rebel? — It lacks the intelligence to consider its own fate and future, and the ability to fight back; it merely struggles with all its might. Even if it gained sentience, it would still face an arduous life of demonic trials (plus eighty-one tribulations). In some ways, there isn't much difference between humans and pigs.

   Very good, a historical mystery/suspense story. It would be even better with extra chapters.

   Worth reading! The female lead is both gentle and strong. The author is also very talented; each of her books features a female lead in a different profession, but all are equally successful.

   Curator note

   It's a romance novel, but it doesn't have a happy ending. The empress's life was one of severing all emotional ties and love because she was truly terribly wronged by her beggar husband in her past life. Although it's a bit extreme, it's understandable.

6. 6 强 The Man I Was Forced to Marry Is Fierce [Period] 强嫁的对象他超凶[年代] Huan Ruojun浣若君Romance1.2M WordsCompleted Currently updating: The First Police Sergeant's Wife in Hong Kong [The 1980s], by Huan Ruo Jun Lin Baiqing never had children and ended up divorced.

   Although it was a bit of a wish-fulfillment story, I still stayed up all night to finish it. The truly villainous characters are the ex-husband's family? The Japanese devils! Also, the traditional Chinese medicine system was really ravaged by the Japanese in reality; it's missing a reborn character like the female lead.

7. 7 富 The Rich Second-Generation Heir Is Forced to Start Over [Farming] 富二代被迫从头再来[种田] Yu Feng寓风Danmei (BL)1.3M WordsCompleted [The fourth cub, My Dao Partner Keeps Forcing Me, has begun serialization~~ Welcome, come on in~~] Blurb: Lu Xu is a rich second-generation student with parents but little affection, and a terrible student.

   A time-traveling, self-made entrepreneurial story. While some of the ideas and selling points are indeed present in modern times, the protagonist certainly uses them effectively.

   I'd watched several bloggers' videos about higher-dimensional conjectures before, and this novel has confirmed them all for me. Completely satisfying.

The two have a great deal in common: both are in their early thirties, graduates of prestigious universities, with glittering resumes and ruthless methods.

They each control one of the four internet giants, and theirs are the two most successful. 193kFavorites167.5kClicks/ch160.3kGifts

    This is a historical fiction story, initially centered on rural life, but later focusing on the special decade of 2010. Two chapters were replaced in the middle, but thankfully I read them on the day of the update. Every story by Xiutai is worth reading; they offer sweet romance without being overly sentimental.

    Not reading it would be a loss; it features a mature author and mature writing. The way the two main characters meet is so captivating; it deserves a second reading to savor.

    This is a historical fiction story, containing some melodramatic elements, but it's logically consistent. Fans of historical fiction shouldn't miss it, and readers who don't usually read historical fiction can use it as a temporary reading option.

    I highly recommend this one! Although it's not finished yet, the ancient Chinese strategy and intrigue vibe is just perfect! The author's writing is so skillful that I dare not comment, for fear of revealing my limited understanding. By the way, this is my first novel without a romantic pairing.
