After wandering around for years, I've ended up a bookworm again. I've been reading for ten years. Along the way, I worked as an online editor and mentored newcomers, and I also tried being an author and writing stories. But after two years of effort, nothing came of it. Running a page with a few hundred followers took a lot of time and energy, and in the end I was back where I started. 🌸 Well, my path hasn't been easy, but my passion for reading hasn't diminished at all. For someone like me, w
All Great Reads, Any Genre
I personally prefer works with good prose and expansive frameworks. Novels with poor writing are truly unreadable to me. I usually read twenty chapters before deciding whether to add a book to my shelf, and I'm a slow reader at that. I rarely add a book to this list before reading several hundred chapters. I can guarantee that every book here is top quality and worth getting hooked on. I favor independent and self-reliant protagonists, and it's even better when the supporting characters shine as

For the past couple of years, I’ve mostly been reading historical romance. The older I get, the harder it is to accept how novelists understand and portray real life. Good historical romances are easier to find and enjoy than contemporary romances, after all, their settings are unfamiliar to me.

I can't help but leave a message: This is really a beautiful and beautiful book. The heroine is a top student, has a photographic memory, and is as wise as a demon; even if she disguises herself as a man, there is no cliche plot like other novels. Although her grandparents were not good to her, the heroine was not abused much after she came here. So if you don't like reading the best, don't worry, there's nothing annoying about this book. The heroine's mother is not weak and will not hold the heroine back. The heroine's sisters are also very good, and the four women in the family support each other. In short, the heroine's intelligence makes it impossible for any best person to do bad things. There is no annoying White Lotus female supporting character in the whole story. Her pattern is not to be a filial piety, not in the back house, and not in the harem. She wants to realize the wish of "no hunger in the world", so she works hard and is generous. We often thought that the author was going to torture her, but not; I thought that there would be many crises like other books, but no, they were all resolved by the heroine in advance; we thought that being discovered by the emperor would lead to the crime of deceiving the emperor, but it was not what we guessed; we thought that the emperor took a fancy to her and forced her to enter the palace, but it was not designed that way. Although there are inevitably bad guys in the book, they are all resolved one by one with the heroine's wisdom; and, it is rare to find a good emperor and a good official! (Otherwise, every time I read ancient novels, there won't be a good emperor!) Some people say that the male protagonist's mother is very annoying, and they hope that the author does not want the male protagonist to have CP; but in fact, the heroine's mother-in-law is just a spoiled woman who has never experienced any big troubles in her life. For the heroine, this mother-in-law cannot cause any trouble at all. So you don't have to worry about backyard issues. The author also covered it without using much pen and ink. To be honest, I read the introduction of this book many times. Every time I clicked in and read other people's comments, I thought it might be the type of book I didn't want to read. Because I don't like the tortured mother-in-law, the mother-in-law who opposes the heroine, or the scenes of struggling under imperial power, so I haven't watched it. This time I was short of books, so I clicked in to read it. As soon as I saw it, I got out of control and kept staring at my phone every day. The heroine in the article can always take one step, think three steps, or even think ten steps, and resolve all crises invisible. I like this design so much! While reading the book, I also thought about whether it would be like other books, where the female protagonist would be drugged (save by the male protagonist), fall into water (rescued by the male protagonist), or be in trouble (rescued by the male protagonist)... And then the male protagonist would discover her daughter's body. But, not at all! I like the author's way of thinking very much! There are already a lot of bad things in life. Reading this book always makes me feel full of positive energy! It is particularly worth mentioning that the author's writing style is very good, fluent and has few typos; I think every starting coin I paid is well worth it! If you don't like the misunderstanding plot, the Bailian female supporting role, the concubine's intercourse plot, or the maid's delusional bed-crawling plot... Then this book will really satisfy you! If you also like the setting where the heroine is very powerful, then you will probably like this book! Looking forward to the author continuing to write books!
I have a dream The author can update hundreds of times a day! ! !
I vote for recommendations every day, and suddenly I feel that the emperor can also be a candidate for the male lead. What do you think? I feel that if the female protagonist marries the male protagonist, her life will be ruined, and she will have to battle wits with the male protagonist's mother in the backyard. Even if the male protagonist's grandfather supports the female protagonist, after all, he is old, how many years can he live? It would be different if you married the emperor. You could still participate in political affairs, help the emperor make suggestions, and even follow Wu Zetian's path.

A little emotion
I read this article by accident. At first I felt that there were so many chapters to set the stage, but later on when the family separated, it seemed a bit bland. But the more I read on, the more I felt that this was a rare and good article. The heroine has both the thoughtfulness of a woman and the qualities that a man should have. She has a broad mind and vision. She has a book in her belly and knows how to understand everything. She also takes good care of the people around her. She is not a dumpling who will let others bully her. She often knows how to be observant and take precautions. Such a person will radiate her own brilliance and personality no matter where she is placed. I am also looking forward to the future development more and more, and I hope the author will work hard!
The heroine writes a storybook as soon as she comes, which feels a bit like forcibly subduing the intelligence of the natives. No matter how genius you are, someone who has never been to school will read and listen to something and write one after another. Even a normal person would have to doubt her.
I feel like it's really a flaw for a woman to dress up as a man to take the imperial examination. In the imperial examination, you have to strip naked and check. You even have to stick your anus in to see if there are any cheat sheets.
It is also impossible for a woman to be exposed as a man while being diagnosed by a doctor. It will only lead to misdiagnosis at best, thinking that the protagonist is born with deficiencies and is weak. Although the pulse conditions of men and women are different, they are not fixed. Everyone's body constitution is different and their pulse conditions are different. Moreover, there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "men get the female pulse, and women get the male pulse". In traditional medical theory, the pulse conditions of the left and right hands represent different things: the three parts of Cun Guan Chi in the left hand are the heart, liver, and kidneys, and the right hand is the lungs, spleen, and kidneys (vital gate). Therefore, professional and serious Chinese medicine doctors must take the pulse of both hands of the patient when making diagnosis. The innate root of men is the kidney, which belongs to Yang, and it is mostly stringy and astringent; the acquired root of women is the spleen, which belongs to Yin and is thinner. In "Pulse Jue Li Xuan Mi Yao", it is said that "men's Chi pulse is often weak and Cun pulse is always strong; women's Chi pulse is often strong and Cun pulse is often weak, which is normal. On the contrary, if a man has a female pulse, it is insufficient, and if a woman has a male pulse, it is excessive." In the "Mai Jing", the pulse conditions of men and women are said to be "large and straight on the left for men, and large and straight on the right for women". In fact, these differences in pulse conditions between men and women are naturally related to the physical differences between men and women. As we all know, men and women have their own physiological characteristics, which are highlighted in the different priorities of yin and yang qi and blood.
To be honest, the plot at the end of this book is really interesting and very enjoyable to read. But the superiority complex of the heroine in the book sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I was about to finish watching it, but I was going to give it up because I am a Mongolian from Inner Mongolia. I saw the heroine said that she didn't want to see the Mongols taking over the Chinese people (that's about the same meaning). I checked it out and I thought the Chinese people meant the Chinese people. It turns out that the Chinese people refer to the Han people when referring to ancient times. This section really made me feel speechless and uncomfortable, so I decided to give up.
The writing is very good and sophisticated. It doesn't have the fake plot of picking a thousand kilograms of mushrooms a day or cultivating 500 acres of land a day in other farming novels. But I feel that the heroine is a bit like that. Although I will write some explanations later, I still feel it is weird. The heroine's research is all other people's, not only for her own use, but also to step on others. Her science is all researched by others, but She always has a sense of self-confidence that she created by herself. She had the capital to be proud of in that era. Seeing her pretending to be very self-effacing, there is always a very contradictory and fake feeling. Um, the culture is not high enough. I can't tell where the discordant feeling comes from when I read the article... But these are her own knowledge and strength, and she is motivated ~ much better than those golden fingers who rely on space powers.
