Personal Reading List
I have pretty eclectic tastes
A Lifetime of Books
This list contains all kinds of stories and all kinds of people.
Lighthearted, Goofy Urban Novels
I've been reading on Qidian for nine years and have gone through countless novels. This list is for comedic urban fiction. I'll recommend other genres when I get the chance. I just want to quietly recommend books. I guarantee they're all lighthearted, I've read every one, and they're either ongoing or complete. No abandoned books will be included. As for my personal taste, they may not all be masterpieces, but none of them will disappoint. I've removed books from the list before, including aband
Urban, Showbiz, and Plane-Hopping Stories
I mainly recommend urban fiction, entertainment-industry stories, and plane-hopping novels. They're all books I'm currently following...
A Cure for My Reading Slump
I've gathered together some books I've enjoyed lately
💫🔥You'll Never Run Out of Books Here🔥💫
A good book is a good book, irreplaceable! I'm an old Qidian bookworm. I carefully and thoroughly test both new and old books. If a book isn't good, I won't recommend it. 🌹🌹💐💐 ( ˙˘˙ ) Every book here is one I followed until I ran out of money, or read to the end. I'm not much of a writer, so I can't give long-winded reviews. But every book speaks to different people in different ways. See what it has to offer you. 📓📓📓📓📓📓

I like stories with a single heroine.

Transmigration Novels Where Good-for-Nothings Rise to the Top Without the Usual Clichés
I don’t like novels where the protagonist is a good-for-nothing before transmigrating, then suddenly becomes powerful afterward, especially when they transmigrate into the body of a good-for-nothing... I like cold, self-serving male leads who will help others when it doesn’t cost them anything. Ideally, before being reborn or getting a golden finger, the protagonist is already an elite. I also like stories where the protagonist works with the government. Of course, it’s fine if the protagonis

This List Has Gone Cold
I’ve read a pretty mixed bag of books, especially fan fiction ~(￣▽￣~)(~￣▽ Deleted the abandoned ones
Dark Histories and Heartwarming Ghosts
The protagonists aren't idiots, and the writing isn't simplistic. Sigh, please follow me and help me get noticed! For now, I'm recommending books that aren't very popular. I'll leave the big hits to others.
My Reading List
These are books I personally enjoy, and I like them sincerely, without putting on airs. If someone thinks they’re no good, it just means they don’t share my taste. I’m pretty broke, so I often read books that are free. I created this list to show my respect for the books I love.

No, this isn't a penny-pincher, this is *To Live*!
I came from Sanjiang and have enjoyed reading it so far. There are no major flaws, but it's just too short. I finished it in one day. Keep up the good work, author!
I think the money the protagonist managed to save was taken by the black card.
I finished reading it in one day, that's it! Please update more! This book is good, not too many clichés, and it's a solid read!
The biggest flaw in the book is that Cheng Guangnian amassed a huge fortune, but the protagonist received nothing. Yet, the book insists on showing how much Cheng Guangnian dotes on his son and wants someone else in the family to take over. I guess many readers abandoned the book for this reason. It's a wish-fulfillment novel; the rest of the plot is fine, but the involvement of parents makes many readers uncomfortable, so they drop it. I did too.
Honestly, this book is much more verbose and lengthy than it was with Black Card. I don't know if it's just padding or if the author's writing has declined. Of course, those who don't read it and want to sleep can leave now, and I'll grant your wish. But as a long-time reader who has been paying to read it since Black Card, I'm truly disappointed.
The author is still updating! I'm truly impressed. If they ever reach three million words, I'll subscribe to the whole thing; I've completely forgotten about the ones I read before.
What's wrong with the author lately? Why has there been such a long hiatus in updates...? I'm getting impatient waiting for updates every day.
I already thought she was a green tea bitch after chapter 42. After reading chapter 44, I'm absolutely certain. Having such a green tea bitch as the female lead is truly disgusting. Someone at least saved her life, and Du Xiaoyu still tries to cheat her—it's ridiculous. And the motorcycle thing, motorcycle-themed casual sex is normal. It would be even more hilarious if she were a virgin later on.
I've been following this book since "Black Card," and I'm currently reading it too. The author's style isn't the typical wish-fulfillment type; the premise is unique, the characters are all intelligent, and each novel contains philosophical insights and social reflections.
