See allMainly Recommending Lesser-Known Historical Periods
This list focuses on stories from lesser-known historical periods, including the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the transition from the Yuan to the Ming, and foreign history. I'll carefully select books with good writing and compelling stories to recommend. Those with especially original premises and strong writing will get extra attention. These are books that aren't dumbed
The Great River Flows East
To establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, to secure a future for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of the sages of the past, and to bring peace to all generations. Zhang Zai. Display the heads at the post station on Gaojie Street, among the foreign envoys’ residences, so they may be seen for thousands of miles: those who dare offend the mighty Han will be executed, no matter how far away they are. Ban Gu. The moon of The Legend of Qin shines over passes that have stood since the Han;
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.

I Have a Pot of Fine Wine and a Tale to Tell, Would You Care to Listen?
The bright moon startles magpies from the branches; cicadas sing in the midnight breeze. The night sky over the stone steps is cool as water; I lie and watch the stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky; I sleep troubled beside the river maples and fishing lights. Autumn candlelight chills the painted screen; a light silk fan swats at fireflies. Perhaps I’m not good at telling stories, but I’m certainly good at chatting. I browse the forums and turn throug

Great Books Are Meant to Be Shared
Good books are meant to be shared. I’m passing along the gems I’ve found so fellow readers can enjoy them too. Lately I’ve been really into stories about little ones growing up. If you know any books where the protagonist has a long childhood to explore, please recommend them! Beastfolk cubs, human dumplings, anything like that. Childhood is so adorable, so why rush to make them grow up? It’s so boring. But if you’re recommending a story about a toddler who’s already competing for favor and fac

A Veteran Reader’s Collection of Carefully Selected Gems
I'm a longtime reader, and I look for polished writing, coherent stories, protagonists who aren't too twisted, supporting characters who aren't idiots, schemes that aren't immediately obvious, and, ideally, some unexpected twists. I prefer books that don't put the protagonist through too much misery, and whose worldbuilding holds together. Bonus points if the story leaves you with something to think about. That should make for a good book, right? Qidian has countless great stories, and too many

A thousand years later, the best-selling books in the history section of China's largest online novel website, Endpoint Novel Network, are ranked as follows: Reborn as Emperor Huai of Jin The World of Zhen General Yang Qing The Zu Clan Refuses to Serve as Subjects The Legend of Baoda "Jin Hua Wen Kui" (Humorous)
Brief reviews of Wang Meng, Zhang Bin, and Cui Hao Although Wang, Zhang, and Cui are often mentioned together, these three people are actually three completely different types, with differences far outweighing commonalities. Let's start with Wang Meng. The most suitable analogy for Wang Meng is naturally Zhuge Liang. The two can rightfully be called "second only to Guan Zhong and Xiao He".
The author is really hypocritical. Many of the emperor's children died young, not to mention the medical conditions of the protagonist's dynasty. The author is not so funny. As the leader of a group represents the interests of the entire group, is it possible for you not to have concubines and have more children? You don't need to mark yourself as a monogamous person. Mark yourself as a good man
This book has too many flaws; I'll just point out two, and you simply can't refute them. 1. Updates are slow. 2. The updates are slow, but the writing is still so good. Author, can't you update twice a day? And don't ask me who's doing the two updates.
Author: I think you know a lot about history, so why is the reform system a bit of a hodgepodge, a hybrid of two extremes?
The protagonist is in his thirties, and has only one wife, one son, and no heirs... I am not advocating polygamy, but as a feudal king, the issue of succession must be raised. What should you do if your son is useless? Could it be that like Sima Yan, even a fool's son was made a prince?
Speculating on the plot from the hexagram stripping The hexagram "Stripping" (剥卦) is a highly inauspicious one in the I Ching, symbolizing the stripping away of Yang by Yin. The text states, "It is not advantageous to go anywhere," indicating that one should not strive for further progress once the limit is reached.
Judging from the title, I thought it was a classic story about conquering the barbarians and establishing a powerful empire, but the beginning disgusted me. The protagonist, while quoting poetry to show off his superiority and despising others' pleas for survival to demonstrate his own arrogance, then suddenly kneels down to become a strategist for the barbarians just to save his own life. He advises them to kill fewer Han Chinese, euphemistically calling it "restraining the barbarian horses."
There are too many plot holes. The protagonist is written like a saint, and the powerful families are portrayed as idiots. First, let's talk about the problem of aristocratic families. Starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, these families began to expand their influence. The protagonist suppresses them openly and blatantly.
I can't stand it when I see monogamy. Not to mention ancient people, even modern people have money and power. There are a few men who don't want to sleep with more women. In ancient times, which founding emperor didn't have many women and children.
