A Collection of Good Books I've Read
Fantasy, cultivation, strong female leads, apocalypse, palace intrigue, online gaming, quick transmigration. The heroines aren't doormats and have sound values. Some have no romance and are so cool and smart they leave all the pretty boys in the dust. Ahem, that'll do. This is a very unserious description (= _ =)

This list focuses on women’s fiction and features a variety of styles: heroic epics about powerful women who conquer the world, as well as romances about couples who stay together for life. The most important requirement is that the characters have sound values. You won’t find plots where a heroine falls for the enemy who killed her father and destroyed her country, gives the hero concubines out of saintly kindness, refuses to fight back even after he tortures her until she’d be better off dead,

I have read ancient articles for so many years, and this article is the one with the smallest clan power, which is equivalent to none. Judging from what Old Lady Xie did (disrespecting her sister-in-law, being unkind to her children and grandchildren, the second old man and his own old man died because of her, selling off the family property and running away), in other ancient texts, she would have been exterminated, but as a result, this place is still alive and prosperous, and the whole family is not punished at all. It's amazing. There should be no major problems in the Xie family, and everything can be forgiven. Aren't they afraid that their tribesmen will learn something from them? Looking at Xie Pu, I don't know how to comment on this person. I think his becoming a prefect is just like the smoke coming out of his ancestral graves. Or his territory is peaceful and there are no local wealthy families. Otherwise, with his ability, he can return to Beijing safely and be judged to be excellent and be favored by the emperor. What a dream? Which person who can sit in this position and gain a reputation for integrity is not a Machiavellian? But look at Xie Pu, who has been cuckolded by the Cao family for so long, spent millions to raise a bunch of white-eyed wolves in the Cao family, and finally dissipated tens of thousands of wealth, and even his eldest son and daughter will not come back. Is this what a capable person can do? Looking at his behavior, the aunt sent by the Cao family was not defensive at all and instead gave birth to a bunch of common children. The Cao family's maid, Aunt Qin, almost poisoned him to death, and also leaked a lot of information to the Cao family. You think this kind of aunt would have been beaten to death by a stick if it were published in other stories. Hey, what happened to her? The head of the family said that she would go out less often to educate her children. ? ? ? ? 🤔Is this a punishment? Originally, aunts were not allowed to go out in ancient times. You would think that in the Republic of China, aunts could still go out to play mahjong, but it turned out that she went out every day to do errands and harmed her own interests, but nothing happened. Looking at Xie Pu as a person, he had two wives but did not do his best for the second wife. Even if he was not filial, he would not let his children be filial to the second wife. Taking advantage of the interests of the whole clan, only thinking about himself, and being filial to his mother in the name of fear of going against her mother's wishes, huh 🤫 Is there really nothing he can do about his mother? No, it's just that he doesn't want to. I just don't understand what's the point of doing both? It is better to adopt a second wife in the clan, or to adopt one of your own grandchildren than to raise a bunch of white-eyed wolves like Xie Pu. Even if he was able to get out of prison, it was because of his relationship with his second wife, Mrs. Song. How could they have the nerve to enjoy other people's efforts without reciprocating anything in return? Wen... Needless to say, a person who has been completely brainwashed, a brainless Xie Puchui, a cowardly and incompetent bun with a love brain, for Xie Pu, he would abandon everything, including his own children. Aunt Jin has worked hard for her daughter, but Wen is afraid that others will harm her children less, so she puts pressure on her. Forget it, this person no longer wants to comment on her Finally, our heroine is also a very tolerant girl. It is said that the concubine is still tolerant after more than a thousand chapters. She is capable and her role is not outstanding, but she is very much like the Xie family. Because I have only read more than 300 chapters, I am actually curious if there is no law in this article? There are no family rules and clan rules, there is no secular world, it is very confusing why the bad guys are never punished and the good guys are always tolerant...
Xie Pu, Xie Xianzhi
I have read several of Liu Da's books before, and occasionally I read a new one and couldn't help reading it now. This story is so fascinating so far! I saw some comments saying that the heroine's father, Xie Pu, is also quite a scumbag. For Wen, that is definitely true, but from Xie Pu's perspective, he also makes sense. On the one hand, as the author said, the Cao family is so powerful that it is not easy to refuse, and it might bring disaster to the family; on the other hand, doesn't Xie Pu himself have the slightest idea of using the power of the Cao family to rise to the top? As of now, Xie Pu has outstanding talents and is still in the emperor's heart, and he can still manage his family's huge industry well. Knowing that his mother was not responsible, he cut off all news about his family members. Knowing that Mr. Cao had other agendas, he acquiesced to letting her bring money to her parents' family. However, she secretly kept a ledger and even wiped it out to prevent Mr. Cao from controlling the Xie family's property. Understand the undercurrent of the struggle in the court, and also find out the emperor's mind. It seems that he can move around between the prince, queen and other forces in Pingnanbo Mansion. It seems that he is always upright as an official and loves the people. He is definitely not a confused person who can be fooled casually. Now I am becoming more and more fond of characters like this who are not flawless (emotionally and morally) but are round and scheming. Being a female lead father is really good. I saw some people saying that Mrs. Wen looked a little weak even if she was in charge of the family business - I think that after this great tragedy, Xie Pu will definitely value his second daughter more and more, and the heroine should also be able to learn a lot of insights in the government and the public from her father. In this way, she is no longer the boudoir daughter like her original self. What kind of person is Xie Pu? What is his temperament, and what choices will he make in the subsequent changes? I really want to continue reading. In addition, Lu Fuzhi and Zuo Zhaozhi, who tried the case, also made me feel very good. Xie Xianzhi is really cute and pitiful. A pure-minded, smart and intelligent son of an official family would be a good elder brother and a good son, but he witnessed his mother betraying his father with a vicious mind. I really hope that he can return to Xie Pu, and I also hope that he can have more contact with the heroine in the future. The author gave him a good result, so let's write more about him!
I persisted until the male protagonist tried so hard to marry the female protagonist. I really couldn't stand it anymore. I never asked the girl if she wanted to marry him or if she had a crush on him. I just talked to myself and started to flirt with him. I thanked the second sister one by one and asked people to call him brother Xiao. How many times have you met? Are you familiar? Why do we become husband and wife in the future, deepen the relationship between husband and wife, write letters and flirt with each other, and avoid the other brother while he is away? Someone forces a man and a woman to live together in the same room, and you just say this? Have you considered the girl's reputation? Made an appointment with the heroine in private, and then verbally takes advantage of her, and wants to marry someone who is not upright. When you ask for a marriage, you don't want to find a way to deal with your parents' orders to find a matchmaker. You directly say it in front of the heroine and her brother. . . He is the male protagonist with a halo to protect his body, and he is lucky enough to meet a time-traveling girl. He has modern ideas and does not pay much attention to the rules of ancient ladies, nor does he care about reputation and integrity. If it were a local, famous and beautiful female protagonist, he would talk to the heroine in private and write letters to express his love. Although the male protagonist later said that he was teasing the female protagonist by imitating the way a friend talks to a girl, he also said it, and what he said was from his heart. Moreover, the male protagonist's subsequent psychological description also regarded the female protagonist as his wife, and he never asked the female protagonist if she wanted to get married. When I think of the heroine being blinded by the halo of the hero, she falls in love with such a hero. I also gave him various opportunities, but I really can't stand it anymore. . .
In his previous life, Xie Pu was cuckolded, framed and exiled, and had all his family property taken away from him. It is hard to say that he was a smart man. He did marry the Cao family with the intention of leveraging the Cao family, but he was unwilling to really join the Cao family. Even though he contributed a lot of money to the Cao family, he was still just a prefect, and was framed by the Cao family in the end. Look at Minister Jiang who is in the same situation, what position he is in, and what position he is in. If he had not married Cao, the emperor might have given him a high priority long ago. If he was really innocent, he shouldn't have married the Cao family. If he was obsessed with fame and fortune, he should have lowered his head and completely attached himself to the Cao family. He only did half of everything, attached millions of wealth but didn't know what he wanted. He was a confused person. Xie Pu is a man of some talent, but Yu Gong is short-sighted, aloof and unwilling to bow his head. He is a wallflower at both ends, and no one wants to see him. In private, he was selfish, hurting the Wen family in order to cling to the powerful, and marrying the Cao family without trying to win her heart. His old mother was mean and selfish and never advised her, and she didn't care about her children. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he has any serious evil, but it is certain that he is selfish, short-sighted and does things in a disorganized way.
See Xie Pu knowing that Cao has an adulterer but still giving away a huge amount of property, seeing Mrs. Xie being selfish and having nothing to do to cause trouble, seeing Mrs. Wen freezing herself and letting her son suffer from frostbite, and seeing Mrs. I read the article in a hurry, when will I feel refreshed and clean up the bad things?
You are writing about a heroine, and everything that happens must revolve around the heroine. You always let the heroine take the lead. A chapter must have at least 50% of the heroine's roles in order to give the heroine the halo. If you watch a TV series, the main character only appears for ten minutes, and the main character is missing for the other thirty minutes. Does anyone watch TV series like that?
Mr. And Mrs. Wen are delaying their descendants
I originally wanted to post it in the chapter description, but then I found it was too long, so I will post a separate comment 😁 When I saw the latest chapter, I suddenly realized a question, which also just crossed my mind. Mr. Xie, Wen's husband, has two wives. Wen and her children belong to the second wife. Strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with the third wife. No matter from the perspective of etiquette or law, as long as what Mr. Xie committed was not a serious crime that destroyed the nine tribes, Wen and her children would have no problem. Because they are second-bedroom apartments, not third-bedroom apartments. Mr. Xie served his mother with utmost filial piety, Mrs. Wen was kind-hearted and regarded her husband as her top priority, and if things happened in the house were not serious, it would be difficult to spread to the outside world. In addition, the Xie family members were generous and did not have any embarrassment. It was natural that Mrs. Wen had served Mrs. Xie for more than ten years →_→. However, where the etiquette is placed, the law is also placed. I don't know if outsiders know that Lord Xie has two wives, and I don't know if outsiders know that Wen is another legitimate wife of Lord Xie (belonging to the second wife). If they know, this is actually a handle that a political enemy can use to attack Lord Xie. As a nephew's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wen did not serve her upright mother-in-law (Song), but instead served Mrs. Xie as her mother-in-law... This alone could ruin Wen's reputation, and Mr. Considering Sir Xie's reputation and status among officials, this kind of mistake should not be made. It's fine if you just get married and have no children, but if you have children (especially a son) and you still don't take them back to serve your serious mother-in-law, then there will be a problem. My own family (people of the Xie clan) will be considerate, but outsiders will not. If we really want to pursue it, it is unfilial. And what good reputation can the children of unfilial people have? It's understandable that Mrs. Wen didn't think of this problem, but it's not right that Mr. Xie didn't think of it. This is a hidden danger. If it does come out in the future, even if it is endorsed by the Xie family, it will inevitably be criticized by others. Reputation is stained for sure. After all, the etiquette is there and the law is there. Unless Mrs. Wen willingly admits that she is the concubine of the third wife, and her children are also the children of the third wife, it will be difficult to overcome this hurdle. Then again, Wen's calculation is not wrong, but her approach is in line with "emotion" but not in line with "law". Her theory is also in line with "emotion" but not "law". The relationship between "emotion" and "law" has always been difficult to grasp. Once the control is not good, it will harm others and herself. Wen only considered her husband's mood, but did not consider her children, especially her son's future. If someone really catches on to this, not only will Mr. Xie's career be compromised, but Xie Jinzhi's future career in the imperial examination will also be difficult (how can one have a good reputation among officials with an unfilial mother, and what can he achieve by taking the imperial examination). The current enemies of the Xie family are only the Cao family, but that may not be the case in the future. If Wen's ideas are followed, he will really regret it in the future!
It's too wordy, it's too wordy, it's too wordy, it's unbearable
So why does this nephew-in-law serve his aunt here every day? A false story in front of a serious mother-in-law? Should she be bullied just because a serious mother-in-law knows the rules and is polite? Isn't it true that Mr. Wen bullies the weak and fears the strong? Can the people in the clan get used to it? This kind of adoptive person in modern society, who does not take his adoptive parents seriously every day, should have terminated the relationship long ago, okay?
The foot-binding cloth is long and long. I keep repeating the same idea over and over for hundreds of chapters. I am really convinced.
