These are all books I've read and enjoyed, and I want to share them with everyone. I hope there's something here for you. The right book is the best book. I prefer stories with a single female lead, so most of these have one. No melodrama, no idiotic characters, just easy reads.

History, Urban, and Military Fiction Only
I like alternate history, urban rebirth stories, and tales of industrial power. My tastes are getting pickier: no naive protagonists, no glaring flaws, characters whose values make sense, and a distinctive touch are all musts. I can't claim every book here is a must-read, but they should at least be solid. I'll also add books with something unique about them, or an exceptionally toxic flaw, to my favorites.
Only Books I've Read and Can Recommend: Mostly Farming, Historical, and Fantasy
I only recommend good books I'm currently reading. Some don't show any fan support because they're new, or because I'm reading them on another account.

You Can't Please Everyone, So Be Content
🔥🔥🔥 Over the years, I’ve read quite a few classics, as well as plenty of lightweight beginner-friendly novels. Whether classic or lightweight, they have ultimately brought me happiness. 🔥🔥🔥 I used to curse many lightweight novels and complain endlessly about classic works. Now I finally understand that you can’t please everyone, and contentment brings happiness………So here I am quietly presenting this list. It may contain both old-school and lightweight novels, because a true reader, a genuine vet

A Wall of Newbie Medals: Some of These Are Medals You Won't Want to See
I wrote a book myself once, so I know how hard it is for newcomers. This is my way of helping out and supporting them. I find these new books by going through them one by one. You'll see that I take my recommendations seriously. Other people write all kinds of flowery blurbs. I don't know how to do that, so let's use something concrete instead! Some of you, don't get all worked up when you see the word "hard." Have some self-control. [+ + + + +] The "Lined-Up Peeing" medal is for the five-star b

I felt something was off after reading the first chapter.
Seeing the contract of servitude is speechless. The protagonist time-traveled fully clothed, not naked. Didn't he have any money or a cell phone? (The image of RMB is something ancient people couldn't paint and could sell as a painting. A cell phone was also a rare treasure in an era when people still used clear bronze mirrors.)
Unbelievable. He owes her a meal and gets forced to sell himself for three years. It was supposed to be three years, but when he reappears, it's five. Unbelievable. The protagonist is also incredibly servile. Despite being sold into slavery, he still helps them in various ways and even expands his business. Isn't that just pathetic?
Seeing several thugs groping Li Qingzhao in the alley... And then Li Qingzhao acting like nothing happened... I can't stand it, is such unbridled behavior really okay? I've cancelled it.
The evil lives on for a thousand years!
Wang the Great Talent is a menace wherever he goes!
Some thoughts after reading
I've read some of it, it's alright, I wonder how long the brothel section is. Also, was Qingda's previous novel, *The Prosperous Tang Dynasty*, abandoned? If so, it's a pity. I haven't read novels online for a long time, but I just checked it out. It's quite well-written, humorous, lighthearted, and enjoyable.
I thought it was Dream of the Red Chamber...
I just found out that Qing is a member of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. No wonder she's been so infrequently updating; official matters must be more important to her.
🤓QQ group 176211005 is recruiting passengers from enthusiastic book lovers. Welcome aboard! Let's get on board and go!
The author went off-topic while writing, and ancient women didn't have the same concept of equality as modern women. Author, you write about brothels and then say that all brothel women are virgins—don't you think that's contradictory and absurd? Author, do you even know what "marrying someone of equal social standing" meant in ancient times?
I was a bit taken aback after reading the first three chapters. Is someone who signed a contract to sell themselves really that powerful? If they were that powerful, would they be forced to sign such a contract?
