Classics to Revisit When You’re in a Reading Slump
A great work is like running into an old friend: no matter how many times you revisit it, you find something new.
The Historical Romance Novels I Love
I only love historical romance I consider my standards for adding books pretty high, so it may be a long time before I add one. But every book here is one I've reread several times and won't remove.
A Quality Shelf Curated by a Book-Tasting Specialist, Mostly Historical Romance for Women
A professional taste-tester. The books I drop each year could circle Yuewen several times over. Everything here is something I've read or am following, and personally tested. They might not be your cup of tea, but rest assured, none of them are poison.
Waiting for the Moonlit Night

Reading List No. 1
Collecting books little by little.
Leisure Years Book Nook
I've been reading web novels for a long time, probably since middle school. I still remember borrowing books with my library card from the bookshop near my home and reading web novels: Tomb of the Gods, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Renegade Immortal, Soul Land, Battle Through the Heavens, Dust Fate, Child of Light, Coiling Dragon... Those memories are still vivid. It's been nearly ten years now. The longer I read, the harder it is to find books I like. These days, I sometimes s

Some books I read on Qidian. I once lost an account, and I've forgotten the titles of many of them.
Handpicked Female-Lead Novels (Independent, Strong, Calm, and Rational)
If you're passing by, don't miss these! I absolutely love levelheaded heroines. No womanizers, no holier-than-thou do-gooders, and no silly, sugary-sweet heroines!

When I read a book, I usually read the author's old works after reading one that I thought was good. The copywriter of this book begged me not to read it, which aroused my strong desire for unity. I went to read the book about how poisonous it is. If I don't come back within 3 days, I will be so poisoned that I won't be able to crawl out.
The writing is good, but if you don't feel you have the intellectual depth to write stories about high IQs, don't expose your weaknesses. It's like some college students writing books; they're not yet in their forties or fifties, they lack the life experience, and their novels are only good for young readers. Try to keep your stories within your own capabilities!
This book gives me the feeling that the author is telling a story rather than making one up. I've read some books, some of which are captivating, and some that leave you with very deep plot holes. But sometimes, it feels like the author just arranges the characters however they want, which makes you feel out of place.
It's dragging on; I've read many chapters, but I still can't figure out a main storyline.
I've watched half of it, and it feels like it has little to do with Jing Fangnian. It's a mess. Wars break out everywhere, and it not only tries to write from the battlefield perspective, but also from the female lead's perspective near the battlefield, and then there's the scheming and intrigue of the court.
I think it's well-written, not confined to small family dramas and domestic squabbles, but rather broadened to the backdrop of a conflict between two nations. The only drawback is that there's too little romantic subplot between the male and female leads, and the ending feels rushed.
I only read two or three chapters, and it's riddled with errors. A young girl in the prime of her life, ah, a girl of twenty-four or twenty-five, and in ancient times with early marriage and childbirth, my goodness! A dynasty that lasted less than three generations, yet it's already over a hundred years old!
Why is everyone saying it's good? I think the female lead is so stupid. I really don't understand. It's such an obvious trap, why is she overthinking and wondering where the problem is? It's a princess! With so many guards around, how could she just disappear like that?
I really liked the male lead, but just when the romance was starting to blossom and it seemed like it was going to get even better, why did it end so abruptly? It was too rushed! I didn't get enough! The male lead's character was fantastic! What a pity!
