Women's novels worth reading, mostly historical romances
Women’s Fiction So Good You Can’t Put It Down
I registered on Qidian in 2005 and became a high-level VIP member in 2008. That's ten years as a VIP, not counting the three years before that. I started out reading the main site, and there's no need to mention big names like San Shao and Fanqie. I'd read just about every popular book from back then. Later, when Qidian launched its women's fiction section, I gradually started reading more of that. Early on, very few women's fiction books could compete with the main site's appeal. Then I realize

Chaoge Tea House
As a longtime reader, I've read a lot of books, and there are many I just can't put down. Some stories are so moving that I forget to eat or sleep. That's the unique magic of words. When I'm upset, I brew a cup of tea and read for a while. It calms and steadies me. Through the writing of so many wonderful authors, I get to explore all the wonders of the world inside their minds: bloodshed and battles, swords and songs, tangled love and hate, romances between humans and gods, legends of distant r

Guilt-Free Reads for a Stray Cat
I've read most of these. Well, most of them pass the basic common-sense test, unless my tastes are different from yours.
Lingering Sentiments Amid Fluttering Robes
Historical romance makes up the largest share of female-oriented fiction on Qidian, and its many authors keep producing one good book after another. In those bygone eras of classical elegance and fluttering robes, all sorts of women come to life on the page, taking us back in time to experience portraits of young noblemen and ladies shaped by their age. Young men and women in historical settings go through all kinds of different experiences. Their stories really draw me in, and I'm sure many rea

Only My Favorites: Ten-Year Bookworm
I read all styles, as long as I think they're well written!!! Sci-fi, transmigrate, reborn, xianxia, post-apocalyptic, and more... I read male-oriented fiction too. Books I read before joining Qidian aren't included; this list only has books I've read since downloading the app. P.S. Pregnancy and breastfeeding mean I've also been reading some mindless, cliche fluff and male-oriented wish-fulfillment stories (●'◡'●)ノ❤

🤔Smart Characters Matter (No Cat’s Cradle)
Grandpa Yuan Longping: God of Food Looking back today, I see that many of the books I recommended have disappeared. Good books are getting harder and harder to find, so let's treasure the ones we have. Both completed works and new releases. The list owner is a girl with eclectic tastes, but she's definitely picky.
Shh, Be Quiet, I’m Reading.
So good, so good!
Worth a Read. I've Vetted Every One, and They're Top-Notch in Both Quality and Craft.
These books are interesting and a little different. I recommend only those I've read carefully and found distinctive. Thanks to everyone who follows or leaves a flower! I'll keep recommending books I enjoy. I add titles slowly, and I won't recommend anything I haven't read. There are more books for women here.

The author did not handle the character of Qin Keqing well and forcibly "slut///shamed///humiliated" Qin Keqing. Under the feudal ethics of cannibalism, Qin Keqing was originally a vulnerable group. The author did not provide a single well-founded analysis and directly said that Qin Keqing had misbehaved and crawled // Ashes. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw this. Other character authors have their own opinions, and they all make sense. Only the analysis of the character Qin Keqing instantly made the heroine possessed by cancer and made people lose their favor.
When I was a kid, I liked Feng, Bao, and Chai very much when I watched the 1986 version of the TV series. When I grew up and read the novels, I slowly changed to Feng, Bao, and Chai. This time, I really don't like Feng. It's a pity...
Details are full of bugs
The writing is pretty good, but there are a lot of bugs in the details. A concubine cannot be straightened, so a second wife (a concubine from a good family) can straighten a wife. When a concubine becomes a concubine, she becomes an aunt (which means her status is elevated). On the first day the couple traveled through time, they still had no memories of their original lives. Let's not talk about whether the heroine went to ask Mother Jia to make peace with her, whether it was a protective rule or not. How did Jia She pass when he went to the palace? It's definitely not possible if you don't understand! Any slight mistake would be disrespectful! There is also the way the maids around Jia Mu are called, which is not characteristic of the Red Mansion at all. The reader feels: The Red Mansion definitely did not call the maids this way! There are also those who deal with the eldest maid and Yingchun wet nurse. They are all born in the same family, and their parents and relatives are all in Jia's house. If you sell these two, and others don't deal with it, you don't know how they will take revenge on you! Also, the royal family will not reward gold, and even if it rewards gold, it will not exceed one hundred taels (in ancient times, gold was not used as currency, and was mostly used for burials and gold jewelry processing.), And the exchange rate of gold and silver is not 1:100 as the author takes it for granted! Usually it's only 1:8-12. Also, the heroine sends a New Year's gift to her natal family in Jinling, and it arrives in a few days. The description of Red Mansion's trip to Jinling refers to the delay of two months for Jia Lian to attend the funeral for Jia Min, and the delay of at least one or two months for sending Daiyu back to Beijing. Yangzhou falls under the jurisdiction of Jinling. Also, let Kapok go to Suzhou to find Yinglianhua, and only pay 20 taels for travel expenses (did you think Suzhou is only 200 miles away from the capital? A girl who travels and stays in the city is not afraid of being sold by traffickers! Isn't it necessary to call a valet and an old woman to come forward for this kind of thing!). She only asked for acknowledgment of marriage in Meng, and did not give a letter as a token?
Baochai was also hacked~
Personally, my favorite in The Red Mansion is Xue Baochai, who was also hacked. 😭It is true that Xue Baochai is a very scheming woman, but on the other hand, she can recognize reality clearly. To put it simply, Xue Baochai's family consists of orphans and widowers, and her brother is a prodigal and a loser. There is not even a single top man in the family. In that feudal era, it was not the modern society of the 21st century, which was struggling. In the social background of that era, ordinary girls are mostly ignorant and at a loss. It is understandable that Xue Baochai wants to find a backer for the whole family and the family to survive, and it is understandable that Jia Jiaxu and Jia Jiaxu have to deal with it. At least it was different from Sister Lin (actually she was naive and ignorant). Lin Ruhai's family fortune was handed over to Xue Baochai, so Xue Baochai's consequences would definitely not be as tragic as Sister Lin's. Lin Ruhai didn't tell his own daughter about the huge fortune he left behind, but gave it directly to Jia Lian. He must have known his daughter very well and knew that it would be useless to give it to Lin Daiyu. Innocent and cute girls are indeed lovable, isn't it true that they are silly and sweet now? However, Sister Lin just lacks the last sweet word. When Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were together, they made a lot of noises and cried. However, Xue Baochai was deliberately flattering. Although he was scheming, he had no ill intentions towards Jia Baoyu. He also repeatedly persuaded Jia Baoyu to read "serious books" even though he knew that Jia Baoyu didn't like him, even if he was less beaten. As a parent, it is obvious which one to choose for the sake of your children and grandchildren. It was clear that Jia Mu loved her only daughter so much and turned to Lin Daiyu, but in the end she changed her original intention to support the "golden and jade marriage"? It was not discovered in the end that Lin Daiyu was indeed not suitable for Jia Baoyu. Simply put, Lin Daiyu was not suitable as a mistress to take charge of a feudal family. Although Jia Baoyu was born from the second wife and could not take the title, judging from how much Jia Mu loved Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu's property and a large part of the property of Jia's East Mansion had to be distributed to Jia Baoyu. After all, when Jia Baoyu was about to get married, Jia's mother, the entire Jia family, and the four major families didn't know that the Jia family and the four major families were about to be destroyed.
Sure enough, women are the worst at scolding women? In order to prove that Qin was not a woman, this female author used sharp words that put me to shame as a man 🤤🤤 There is no need for her to be just a character and she had no choice but to write a novel with too many private goods, which neither satisfies the curiosity of male readers nor the empathy and compassion of most female readers. There is no way to please both sides. I can only feel happy with a very small number of fans who hold the same opinions as my own. To put it simply, it is just self-pleasure.
Do returnee girls love illiterate people?
The heroine is an overseas Chinese who received elite higher education overseas. The male protagonist can't even write a 500-word composition for an elementary school student! How is that different from being illiterate? ? I asked them how they fell in love with each other in their previous lives. ? Isn't this level difference too big? ? Let alone love, we can't even talk about it, can we go together? ?
After reading Chapter 46, I just want to complain about the author's point of view. Why is Bao's second daughter-in-law having an affair with Lian Er? It would not be a pity for Bao's second daughter-in-law to die a hundred times? Lian Er deserves to die for this kind of thing? There is also a mandarin duck who is only four or five years old. He is not humble or arrogant when he rewards someone with a gold bracelet. I am speechless.
Why does Jia Jing have to be black! ?
All the online writers who write about celebrity wear are all dissatisfied with Jia Jing. It's just like political correctness, it's really puzzling. First of all, Jia Jing can be said to be the only sober-minded person in the Jia family - he is the only one who can see that the Jia family is about to be destroyed. The whole Jia family is full of pig teammates and is hopeless, so he can only be a monk by himself. Secondly, Jia Jing is also stated in the main text of The Red Mansion as the only talented person alive in the Jia family - the two ranking Jinshis. The other Baoyu and Jia Lan all infer the future ending through foreshadowing or judgments in the previous text. Finally, Jia Jing was the last person in the Jia family to serve as a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Jia Jing's appointment was a sign that Jia's family was completely defeated and far away from the core circle of power.
I don't quite understand why the stepmother's natal family is not considered a serious relative? And what Jia Cong's mother said about Fu Zheng, Fu Zheng's concubine turned into his wife, it is a black history for a first-class general to have a concubine as his wife. I remember there was a crime called taking a concubine as a wife, I don't know the details, but most people would not do this.
Marked. I had already packed my schoolbag and was going to the library to spend Saturday. Unexpectedly, I came across this book by chance. I was immediately fascinated by it, so I read it all morning.
