Whether or not they’re classics, some books have left a deep mark on my memory. I’ve collected them here for us to enjoy together. The pleasures of life are little more than satisfying our appetites and finding joy in the things that nourish the spirit. A good book can bring the joy of reading straight to your heart. When I’m following some books, I hope the author will never finish them. Once they do, I can’t help starting over from the beginning. They might not suit your taste, but if you hap

Historical Romance I’ve Stockpiled
The female lead isn't a pushover, the plot generally holds up to scrutiny, and there are no Athena types or stories where the protagonist is smart and everyone else is an idiot. These are books I think are readable, without making me want to throw my phone in frustration. 23333 When I have time, I'll try out recommended books. If I like them, I'll add them here.

Books I've Followed and Could Keep Reading
Important announcement!!! Authors, please don't come here to promote your books. I'm just keeping a record of my reading history on Qidian. Please don't leave recommendations in the comments. I won't read them, and I'll delete them. I don't stick to male- or female-oriented fiction, though most are female-oriented, with the occasional male-oriented book mixed in.
Duo Duo's All-Around Reading List
I like stories with sensible values, creativity, or good writing. In short, they need to have something that keeps me motivated to read on. Everyone's welcome to exchange reading lists with me. I have eclectic tastes and don't distinguish between male- and female-oriented fiction. If I enjoy reading it, I'll make a note of it! Come share your favorite stories!
Farming and Development
I’m looking for stories where characters level up steadily, one step at a time, with grounded and believable personalities. The protagonist should have principles in how they treat people and handle things. Harem stories with invulnerable heroes, overpowered golden fingers, or implausible female characters aren’t for me. The plot can be fantastical, but the characters should still feel real.
A Veteran Reader's Picks: Great Books with Level-Headed Protagonists and Fresh Ideas
This list mainly recommends books with protagonists who have sound values and fresh ideas. I’m not saying they’re all amazing, but each one has something that struck a chord with me. Of course, because of time constraints, I’ve only read parts of many of them. The list isn’t limited to any one genre: male-oriented, female-oriented, romance, and fantasy are all included. Follow if anything catches your eye.

I've read all these books, but there's no room for them on my bookshelf and I can't bring myself to delete them. Sometimes I want to reread them, too, so I'm putting them on this list.

Historical romance lives here 💝 More beautiful people than you can count 🌊🌊Please follow🌊🌊🌊Please leave a like🌊🌊 In Peach Blossom Cove stands a peach-blossom hut; beneath it lives a peach-blossom immortal. The immortal plants peach trees, then picks their blossoms to pay for wine. Sober, he sits among the flowers; drunk, he sleeps beneath them. Half awake and half asleep, day after day; flowers bloom and fall, year after year. I'd rather grow old among flowers and wine than bow before carriages

Recommending unfinished books! Finished books are certainly nice because you don't have to keep waiting for updates, but don't forget: finished books started out as ongoing stories, too. Many get abandoned or updated sporadically because they don't have enough support. Sometimes, one thoughtful comment, one bookmark, one click can give an author the motivation to keep writing. The books below come in all kinds of genres, so there's bound to be something you'll like. [Abandoned and dropped books

I clicked in by accident, read the free parts, and found it really suited my taste. I was genuinely surprised to see the author said it was their first time writing; to write something this good for the first time is amazing! I'm truly impressed!
I didn't finish the book because I felt it was a real shame. No other time-traveling woman embodied the traditional virtues of obedience to father, husband, and son better than the protagonist. The author really didn't need to give her a modern soul. Regardless of her complaints, she perfectly embodied the standard woman raised under feudal ethics and moral education.
It's really good! I love stories that don't involve imperial power! There's no life-or-death struggle, no ridiculously stupid supporting characters, and no overly perfect protagonist. It's very readable! I hope it keeps going until the female lead is gone!!
It's well-written, the story is original, and the characters are vivid and interesting—a rare lighthearted read! The only thing I don't understand is why there are so many time-travel elements... One sister-in-law is one thing, highlighting her whimsical and unreliable personality... But the others... I really don't know what to say... They were so cringeworthy!
A good article worth reading repeatedly
This novel is full of life philosophy and wisdom, and its subject matter is also very novel and unique. Reading it was rewarding, suggesting the author has considerable life experience. The characters in the book are like reflections of people we encounter in real life, with their own strengths and weaknesses, especially the married life of the male and female protagonists, their mutual…
I dislike the female lead; she's with a man who's slept with dozens of women, and she doesn't seem to find it disgusting. The male lead has slept with many women and has several illegitimate children; it's truly disgusting.
Having read so many books, this is the first time I've encountered this type. It's not that there aren't ancient romance novels with arranged marriages that blossom into love, but this one is truly refreshing. Honestly, the characters aren't all-powerful because they're time travelers; most are just ordinary people living ordinary lives.
It would be great if we had a family tree, there are just too many people here haha 😄
I don't know how to put it. It started off normally; the protagonist was just an ordinary person. But how did he suddenly become such a saint? He helps everyone, even sacrificing his own son to help others... Is he crazy? Who would tolerate a fellow villager for over 20 years? After reading this book, I realized I'm not an ordinary person after all. 😥😥😥😥😥😥
It's well-written, but some parts require a certain amount of life experience to understand and appreciate. It needs to be reflected upon and pondered from time to time as you get older.
