Abandoned books and books with irregular updates will be cleaned out periodically.
A Traveler's Days Spent Among Books
🌸 Some historical romance novels I absolutely love
Peach Blossoms in This World
Reading a novel is like savoring good food. Everyone has their own tastes, so the most important thing is that the reader enjoys the novel.
[Top Picks] Online Games, Fantasy, Cultivation, Apocalypse, Romance, Urban Fiction, and More
[Looking for flowers, likes, and follows] I love stories with wild, imaginative concepts. I've been reading on Qidian for over a decade, and I'm sharing books I've read more than once. Most of these are complete. The ones that aren't are reliable ongoing stories that won't get dropped. I've reread some of my strongest recommendations several times. If you like a book, leave a like. Once the list is full, I'll delete the books without likes to make room for other recommendations. If you also enjo
Qingdan: Reading Log
I’ve always liked reading a few pages of an easygoing book when I’m tired. Nothing too dramatic or heartbreaking, and preferably far removed from the real world, so I can experience life in another world. A storyteller tells us a story, and when it’s over, we might feel happy, sad, quiet, thoughtful, or excited. Once life is told, it becomes a story. Lately I’ve been reading several books at once, and I’ve forgotten to keep up with some of them. I’m keeping track of the good ones here so I can p

Unforgettable, impossible to put down, stirring to the soul, and lingering in the mind.
Ancient Romance: A Collection of the Best
A love shattered, a heart left in ruins, a dream fading away. The day you return will mark the beginning of your beloved's nightmare... 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 If only our first meeting could last forever, why must the autumn wind grieve over the painted fan? People change their hearts so easily, then claim that hearts have always been fickle. At Mount Li, vows were exchanged beneath the midnight sky; tears fell like rain, yet the song of farewell brought no regrets. How can a faithless man in fine robe

୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭ Give Me an Idea, and I’ll Give You a Whole World
Sometimes I think imagination is everything. Web novels need more imagination. Read web novels long enough, and you start to feel burned out. Mindlessly copying whatever's popular just creates more boring stories. So be bold and innovate. Cut a new path through the thorns. The world had no roads until people walked them enough to make one. That's a quote from Lu Xun, you know. ...←_← This is just a little book list. What's the point of coming here to advertise? Besides, I mostly recommend books
Mo Yan’s Reading Stories
Hehe. I promise I've read all of these and thought they were really good. Please give them a try, follow me, and toss me a vote.
Mo Yan's Reading List
I've personally tried these out, and I think they're really good. They're all ongoing historical romances that I'm following, and I like them. Most are currently updating. I usually delete a book once I've finished it, or if I don't like it. I prefer newer books. Haha.
Moyan’s Historical Romance Library
I’m more into historical romance. This list collects some historical romances I’ve read before or am reading now that I think are pretty good.
Great Completed Historical Romance Novels, Part 1
This list is for completed historical romance novels only. It features works by Lin Jiacheng, Xunzhao Shiluode Aiqing, Ye Huimei, Han Wuji, Qing Tong Sui, Wei You, and Xi Xing. Some people have said this is just a collection of works by famous authors. Well, you could say that, except these just happen to be a few authors I like, and I enjoy most of their stories. I also think sorting them by author makes the list more organized. What can I say? I'm helpless here!!!
🥳 A Precious Record of Humanity's Early Attempts to Tame the Workday 🥳
Honestly speaking, completed books only
Great Books I've Read in the Past Two Years
There are stories set in both ancient and modern times, some about the powerful elite and others about ordinary people. Most seem to have a couple. Life is hard, so let's have something sweet, hehe.
Peach Blossoms by the Pond 🌸 (Old List)
♚ Great historical romance, transmigration, rebirth, and household-intrigue stories for female readers ♚ I've updated the comments (tap the top-right corner and select “Show list owner's comments only”) ♚ The comments won't recommend only historical romance, but everything I've read there is good~(˘▾˘~) Of course, the list owner also rambles a bit (๑˙❥˙๑) ♚ I mainly recommend completed novels, so there may be quite a few older ones (✿ฺ-ω-) ♚( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧

Books I like: no romance, strong female leads, xianxia, and more

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
The Beauty of Classical Prose
Classical stories with elegant, flowing prose. Rebirth, transmigration, cultivation, xianxia, and history are all welcome.
Books I've Read
These are books I personally enjoy, both completed and ongoing. I read all kinds of genres. I don't read dumbed-down stories, and I care a lot about whether the plot makes logical sense. I'm a little picky. I've been a bit lazy lately. I'll note why I stopped reading a book.
Books I Finished Over the Years
A record of books I've read through to the end over the years, with brief reviews. Just reading in peace.
An Old Young Woman's Literary Heart
It has been more than ten years since I registered my Qidian account. From the early wish-fulfillment novels with overpowered protagonists to today's wildly varied styles, dramatic plots, distinctive characters, lingering prose, and concise wit... Ander Search. I made this list partly to complete one of Qidian's little tasks, and partly to summarize the novels I have admired.
Novels Still Need Great Plots ♑️ The Sun, Moon, and Stars ✨ To Enjoy Together 🥂
After being in the rabbit hole for many years, all I ask of a novel now is: 🥑 It has to be enjoyable. 🍒 The setting can be anything. 🥝 A romance plot is optional. 🍋 The plot matters most. 🥥 Simple, clear prose is enough. Of course, authors who carefully choose their words and construct their sentences are even more appealing. 🍑 Every book on this list was carefully read and followed before being added. Feel free to click in with confidence. 📖

[Love Letter Contest] Crow @ Minglou Minglou: "We are one family, hoping to stay together." The crow: "The building remains, the crow will not abandon it." Haha, it feels like these two people wrote two letters with just two simple sentences. It's unfortunate ¬_¬` Both Crow and Li Minglou are smart people; they don't need to say things directly.
Since ancient times, there have been bookworms among people. They read until their eyes are blurry, they don't feel anything when listening to audiobooks, but reading is what brings them to life! It soothes my heart, but strains my eyes!
Today I'd like to express my admiration for Xi Da's naming skills. 😁😁 The Minglou (明楼) is an indispensable facility in the standard regulations of ancient imperial tombs, and it is also the name of the female protagonist in this book, subtly reflecting her identity and origin.
Meow's check-in: Please reply to this post to complete the task.
Meow meow meow~
Previously, hope Da was such a rigorous and cautious author! Ever since Xue Qing, the works have included scenes of laughter, anger, and the myriad aspects of life, along with numerous supporting characters of diverse styles, both righteous and villainous.
This time I truly believe the male and female leads are going to meet.
Double monthly pass period, confirmed! 💥💥💥
The double monthly pass period at Qidian usually has **three cycles, each lasting ten days.** These cycles generally correspond to holidays. The ten days surrounding New Year's Day, from December 29-31 to January 1-7 of the following year. The ten days before and after May Day, from April 28-30 to May 1-7 The ten days surrounding National Day, from September 28-30 to October 1-7.
The boy named Xiang Nan
I don't understand why anyone would still bring up the issue of firing ten arrows in quick succession. I recently reread the previous chapters, and combined with the recent ones, Xi Da has clearly presented Xiang Nan's character to us. He's a big boy—ambitious, troubled, cunning, and alert.
