Laobai Yashui's Picks: Let's Read Some Great Books Together
Unmissable books worth taking a little time to discover. Reading is a pretty personal thing, after all. Everyone has their own tastes and interests. Different people, different experiences, and even the same person at different stages of life can enjoy different books. We're all growing, after all, and it's fun to look back on what we once loved. Yashui has gone from a novice reader to an old hand, haha... Is anyone else like me?
Mom, It’s Them! They’re Keeping Me From Studying _(:3"∠)_
I mainly read women's fiction, but I read men's fiction too. [Thanks to everyone who saved the list and sent flowers >3<] I haven't read many novels over the past couple of years, so I haven't really updated the list either. orz ↓↓↓Feel free to check out my other list ❤❤❤ Historical romance list: “Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men?” It features historical romances with grand, sweeping court rivalries.
I Haven't Tended This List in Ages, Enter at Your Own Risk (Formerly: Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men)
Focused on court politics and struggles for power in historical fiction for women. Thank you for collecting and supporting this list. ↓↓↓ Check out my other list ❤❤❤ ♡ Main list: 'Mom, They're the Ones Keeping Me from Studying _(:_"∠)_' A mixed collection, mostly women's fiction.
My Personal Reading List: I Read Everything
Here are some books I am reading, shared with everyone. I read very broadly, so there are books of all kinds here. Everyone is welcome to discuss, share, and recommend good books together.
A Collection of Masterpieces by Promising New Authors 💅
Every book has something special about it, like a cup of tea to be savored slowly. Every author puts their heart into writing different stories. I have stories to share, and you have time to read, so let's enjoy them together. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'll give every book a trial read. If you'd like me to add a book to the list, please make sure it hasn't gone more than seven days without an update! I'll add it gradually after I've tried it.
👻🌴🌴Lingshan's Reading List🍃🎈🌹🌹
Hmm, it feels like this list isn't as popular as it used to be. Keep going!
Little Train’s Big Study 😍😍😍😍
The books on this list are all ones I like, grouped together in a collection. How can I put it? It's like collecting antiques. After I finish a book I like, I save it here. Years later, when I open it again, it'll bring back memories of my youth.
The Worry-Relieving Bookshop
I used to think reading was the happiest thing in the world. Later, I realized that it’s really only reading for pleasure that makes me happy. Reading can be a solitary activity, or something you do with a group. You can quietly read by yourself, like enjoying a meal alone, or you can make it a reading party, sharing what you’ve learned and your thoughts. On a rainy day, I love being alone with a cup of tea, reading in my study. I’ll read anything, until the end of time. Or rather, until I ru
Dashing Heroes 🌸
Talented authors bring us the wonderful pleasure of enjoying a good book. This list features my favorite novels of 2018.
Good Books Worth Recording
This list is for good books and books I enjoy. Green hills and clear waters, let us talk beneath the endless sky. A vast world, and endless years. Who says women can't be heroes? I ride the wind for ten thousand miles, heading east alone. Across the four seas and eight realms, through different worlds and times, each showing what they can do. With a turbulent past, I plot in secret, overcome crises, and rise to the pinnacle of life. When life and death hang in the balance, what choice should I m
A Collection of Newcomers: Aspiring Authors Giving It Their All
As modern women, we can host a dinner party, cook in the kitchen, go to work, and take care of the kids. But there's another group of women striving to make their way in the world: the aspiring female authors on Qidian. They're not big names yet, just hardworking newcomers. They've each put a lot of effort into writing their books in their spare time, and every one has something unique to offer. Please support them and cheer on this new generation of women writers 👏👏👏👏👏
The Realm or the Beauty?
I've been reading for over ten years and have tried all kinds of books. In my opinion, the main appeal of most romance novels aimed at women is their subtle emotional writing and detailed characterizations, with lots of sweet, tender love. It wasn't until I read the books below that I realized how shallow I'd been! 😱
A Reading List to Make Your Heart Race
A few books by friends, a few of my own, and a few I like. If you're interested, please save the list...
🔥🔥Ancient-Era Romance🔥🔥With a Distinctive Flair🔥🔥
Historical romance is one of my favorite genres. Through the protagonists' eyes, I get to learn about eras that once existed in history but remain impossible to fully understand. Stories of love and hate struggling under a system without monogamy.
If Heaven Has Feelings, Even It Will Grow Old
Moonlight hues, a woman’s fragrance A broken sword, how deep this love So much pain, thoughts left unspoken I’ve forgotten you~~~~ A lonely soul, drifting with the wind Who will laugh at this lovesick fool? In this mortal world’s battlefield Who can claim the crown among thousands of troops... Who dares to cross the trial of love? I gaze at the bright moon, my heart desolate An age-old grudge repaid through reincarnation When I close my eyes, who will be the wildest? The world is fickle Those wh
💕Madam Bai Qi's Historical Romance Reading List💕
Your eyes can't reflect the ink-dark, untamed night. If only your moonlight would deign to shine on me, for one instant, then drown me. I don't know why the world lasts forever. Perhaps I'm fated to be worn away. Somewhere in the distant sea, an ancient song whispers. It too has a thousand years of lonely longing to express. Sealed away for too long, even fate has lost its color, all for this radiant moment. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 A special collection of historical romance. Everyone is welcome to leave a comme

[In books, you'll find golden halls; in books, you'll find beauties.] 1. There are many genres here, including historical romance, modern romance, xianxia, Qing-era time travel, and more. I only include books I've read and enjoyed. There are new books I'm following, completed favorites, strong female leads, sweet romances, and stories with no romantic pairing. 2.

A Book Nook for Omnivorous Readers Who'd Die Without Novels
My tastes are all over the place. I read both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction, and enjoy classics as well as simpler stories. In principle, I only read completed books. The list has limited space, so I’ll selectively remove books based on their ratings. My personal rating scale 95+: Classics worth rereading two, three, or even more times; 90: Excellent books with storylines worth revisiting; 80: Good reads with some standout moments; 70: Average novels with no major highlights or flaws
Women in Red
Women don't just write tearjerking romances. They write political intrigue and tales of chivalry, too!
🌹Female-Oriented Gems: Springtime Dreams? 🍀Male-Oriented Gems: A Love of the Jianghu!
Me: “I regularly hunt through all kinds of rankings, communities, book lists, and columns for top-tier female-oriented gems. I'll read them, rate them (gem score), and guess their potential for a screen adaptation! I also hunt down top-tier male-oriented hits, read them, rate them (hit score), and discuss their standing in the genre.” Romantic: “Every female-oriented gem dreams of one day making it onto the screen!” Gem score: 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Screen potential: 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬 Take a chance, and maybe a bicycle w

Long reviews from the book review community are posted here.
I've seen so many long reviews these past few days, and I'm not having it, so here's an even longer one! Keep it up, author! If you don't update, I'll bombard you with these long reviews! Um... I'm a straight guy... And I'm new to the novel-reading community and I'm surprised I'm being recommended a female-oriented novel. I'm speechless.
Poetry, lyrics, songs, and prose [Lou]
A building dedicated to poetry, lyrics, and prose! It specifically collects the more elegant and eloquent classical Chinese passages from this text. A newly composed poem today, written by King Ning Wang of Zhou— Los Angeles Flowers Spring breezes gently unfold the flowers of Luoyang, filling the world with fragrance, laughter, and the sound of bells.
Clad in green robes, her long, delicate eyebrows swaying, how could she bear to let her fair skin and jade-like bones suffer the cold any longer? The magnificent land could be surrendered without a second thought, all for the sake of her beauty, forever stained by the rosy dawn, never by frost. This poem is so beautiful, I love it!
[I can't write this long review] After reading it, I was simply amazed.
The author's writing is superb. The book is interspersed with breathtaking poetic verses, each line immersing the reader in the emotions of the poet. Occasionally, it touches on personal feelings, and at other times laments national tragedy and family loss. The book features so many people and different perspectives, yet the transitions between them are seamless and natural.
[Article from the column section] "The Rise and Fall of Nations," a masterpiece that evokes deep emotions. I was initially drawn to the author's column, so I told him I would subscribe to the entire book when it reached 400,000 words. Unfortunately, now that it's already at 630,000 words, I still haven't read a single chapter.
Honestly, I think An Yi's writing style is really suitable for script adaptation. Nowadays, Chinese TV dramas are all so cringeworthy. Occasionally, a drama with a normal level of quality is hailed as a masterpiece, but the plot really can't stand up to scrutiny.
The Love Poison in the White Jade Palace I cannot humiliate you, my love, though we are far apart. Talking jokingly about the dream of restoring the Nine Provinces He traversed seven regions to reclaim his homeland. The Two Generations of the Black-Clad Sword Technique The first meeting with the most beautiful woman was bitter. Fleeing among the nations, drifting and sinking, A tender heart and chivalrous spirit will live on through the ages.
A few words, yet deeply moving! Having read the latest chapters repeatedly, I can only say that each event is seamlessly connected, making me no longer feel that the surname "Zhuge" is exaggerated, because Zhuge's retreat from public life truly justifies this false surname. It feels like I'm reading *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, but with a kind of... Indescribable... Softness? Cuteness?
The imagery is stunning, like watching a blockbuster movie. The writing is elegant, the plot thought-provoking, and the storytelling is superb. If this were a history channel, it would be a phenomenal hit. You've tuned into the wrong channel!!
I finally finished watching it, choking up several times and my pillow was soaked with tears. It seems that An Yi poured her heart and soul into writing this story. I can almost picture her sitting in front of the computer, typing away, with the screen reflecting the joys and sorrows of life, the rise and fall of the seven kingdoms, and the people with unyielding ambitions in this great era.
