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.
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 ͡°)✧
Saved Good Reads
I've been reading for ages. I mainly read historical romance, but I also enjoy fantasy and pay close attention to the writing. I've found plenty of great books over the years, so here's a record of the ones I truly consider worthwhile! Good prose matters, as do sound logic and a good set of values!

🍁 “From Entry to Inner Sanctum” 🍁 🍁 “From Entry to Inner Sanctum” 🍁 “I came to Qidian for Zhizhi.” “Now I can’t tear myself away.” So many stories unfold in this mortal world, and every story has you and me. Some stories are wonderful, but I never go back to read them, because the sadness they left me with far outweighs the warmth. Some wonderful stories are ones I return to again and again, because the more I revisit them, the warmer they make me feel. Zhizhi’s stories have just that kind

Be a laid-back reader: savor good books, quietly show my support for authors I like, and drop the ones I don't. Under the sunshine, raindrops patter, the wind howls, and snow piles up layer by layer. Leaning by the windowsill with a cup of tea, coffee, or juice, I've had the habit of reading after lunch for a long time now.

Fun, Feel-Good Female-Oriented Novels
Novels I’ve read that are good, interesting, and original Most are new, though there are also completed books and ones with lots of chapters already. There may also be some male-oriented novels without romance. I don’t like formulaic stories or romances so sugary they make your teeth hurt. I prefer female leads who stand on their own as people, rather than living in a man’s shadow or being surrounded by awful people and acting like a miserable saint with a warped view of the world. I tend to rec
Historical Romance I’ve Stockpiled
The female lead isn't a pushover, the plot generally holds up to scrutiny, and there are no Athena types or stories where the protagonist is smart and everyone else is an idiot. These are books I think are readable, without making me want to throw my phone in frustration. 23333 When I have time, I'll try out recommended books. If I like them, I'll add them here. If I'm not sure yet, I'll add them with a note and keep them until I decide they don't suit my taste or the list is full. If a book re
Fates Begin and End in Their Time, All Is Heaven's Will
I read all kinds of books, so my recommendations are all over the place too. I read different genres depending on my mood, and whether I add or remove books is a matter of mood as well. As the title says, all things have their time: sometimes I fall in love with a book, sometimes I hate it. It's all fate.

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 (= _ =)

Finished reading. I just feel that this ending may not be perfect, but it may be the best way to end it. The relationship between Shen Chuliu and the emperor is not actually a vigorous love. I think the relationship between them tends to be more natural. It's like two equally "lonely" people relying on each other. Everything was just right. This is a work that will make you feel satisfied and sad after reading it. The author writes very well. Perhaps this ending without a happy ending is the best ending. (Silently speaking: Is there anyone out there who hides in bed and cries like a dog like me?)
I like the character of the heroine. I have read several novels in which the heroine never likes the emperor's concubines. None of them have such a character. They are all the characters of Jieyuhua. But in ancient times, there were too many Jieyuhua. They were pretentious. If others pretend to be fake, the heroine's pretense is true? The palace atmosphere created in many novels is also very tense and weird. Most of the heroines endure the losses and then try to make a big move, which makes people feel frustrated and depressed. A small low-status concubine is worthy of a big shot dealing with her? All kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies are endless, and no one else can deal with them. They are all stepping stones for the heroine. The queens are also vicious characters. The heroine always seizes the emperor's favor and is not afraid of being surrounded and killed. It is outrageous that any beauty in history has survived for a long time. I really love the heroine of this novel, she is very transparent and domineering. As for the heroine not liking the emperor and the emperor being cold to the heroine, I really like it and have been looking for novels like this. I don't read Gongdou novels to see the scumbag emperor change his ways. It would be better if the emperor has fewer scenes. I just like to watch the heroine being domineering and cheating others to death. I like the queen written by the author, she is very generous, I like the emperor written by the author, she has an IQ, I like the heroine written by the author, she is super cute, and I like the concubines written by the author, they are all smart and have their own characteristics, they are not the same beauties. Come on, author, I support you🌹🌹🌹
In fact, this is good. The heroine can survive better in the harem if she doesn't like the emperor. But why isn't it attractive enough? Not even as many readers as some silly and sweet harem articles? Personally, I think it's because the intention is not enough. How can a person, a woman, remain unmoved when faced with a man who has doted on her for many years? If it is just for the modern view of marriage, it is not enough to last for so long! And if the heroine has the foresight to know that the emperor's heart will not last long, so she is not moved, but she can still tease the emperor from time to time to gain long-term favor. But she doesn't get bored in the drama when she's acting. What kind of firm belief does this have to support? And she was walking alone, no one knew her mood! This is a little unreal and not enough to convince readers like me. How does she achieve such a sense of proportion? How did she do it without any hesitation or struggle? Personal opinion, don't comment if you don't like it!
Why do you think there is no affection between Chu Liu and the emperor? I think the two of them really didn't have much affection at the beginning, but after such a long time together, they must have been sleeping together for more than ten years, so there is always affection. On the one hand, it is the friendship that has been served for many years; on the other hand, the two of them also appreciate each other. I think the relationship between the two is rational and emotional. Their identity, mind and vision are destined to be people who are not desperate for love. These two people are too rational and too proud, and love will not be the most important thing in their lives. To put it bluntly, they are all career-oriented people. You know my methods, I know your ruthlessness, and there are constant temptations in your words. In the constant tug and pull of the confrontation, there seems to be an inexplicable attraction between the two, the natural sexual attraction between men and women, the mutual mental game, and the warm relationship of many years of companionship. Look at the dog emperor, he must be enjoying this evenly matched situation. As for Chu Liu, he is not completely devoted to love, no matter how real or fake the coquettish flirting is, he enjoys it anyway. 🪖
I've finished reading it because the author's previous books were good, so I've finished reading them. I definitely won't read books like this written by other authors! I wrote these words because I like the author's style. I hope the author won't be angry. The male protagonist of this book is too bad. I know some people will say that an emperor cannot pamper you alone. I don't think it is a bad thing for the author to change his style, but don't change it like this. It's too extreme. The previous novel was too doting, but this one is too unfavorable! The heroine is pampered (the pampering here is simply for sleeping, not liking) because of her value. Whether it is because of her family background, her intelligence, or her sexual attraction, she always feels disrespected. The emperor doesn't care about women and children, as long as they are valuable, if they are not dead, then they will die. I don't sympathize with Yi Fei, but it's sad that the heroine dies with the same result. Reading novels is meant to be leisure. We see the male and female protagonists moving forward from acquaintance to mutual understanding and even to falling in love. But here the author says there will be no love, so there is no Bentou. Why do we read it? You don't have to be a pet, but you also need to appreciate and like it! The male protagonist should care about the female protagonist! This is not a story about a heroine. Too many palace fights would make it annoying. It feels like they are fighting back and forth, and when the heroine's child reaches the crown prince, it is a victory! Even though the heroine became the Queen Mother, as a reader, I still feel that the heroine is pitiful! Real! Anyway, I feel uncomfortable and can't stand it. I hope the author can think about it seriously!
After reading the introduction, I thought it must be good, and I have great confidence in the author٩(๑^o^๑)۶
The extra story about the reincarnation was a bit broken. . . Want to see ancient times
After so many years, raising a dog has developed feelings, not to mention the dog emperor. It's just that Shen Chuliu is too rational and realistic, and has drawn a line for himself in his heart, so that he can understand it clearly from beginning to end. In the end, the emperor did not let her die, and she could be very grateful. From beginning to end, there was no extravagance and no resentment. Maybe Qi Yixiu didn't realize it himself. He walked away from the door angrily. In his heart, this person was different. She is no longer a concubine who gives some face to her when she is happy, but a woman he wants to respect. In some aspects, Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu are the same people and equally smart. Qi Yixiu saw through the women in the palace, and Shen Chuliu saw through the emperor. The two of them each guarded their own hearts, each understood it tacitly, and they were evenly matched. It wasn't until the empress left that the emperor finally admitted that he had missed the mark and was completely defeated. "At least that's what Shen Chuliu thought at that time." Tears "How can there be any winner in this harem?" You are welcome to spray, and all comers will not be rejected.
I think the ending in ancient times is quite good. A person from modern times has different ideas from ancient times, and she also restrains herself from falling in love. This is very attractive. Generally speaking, it feels good to write about the kind of double love. It is very romantic to be a couple for a lifetime, but when it comes to ancient princes and emperors, it is not realistic. And actually I felt that she had already fallen in love later on, but she didn't say it directly.
First tag: male; watch female videos; burst into tears. I am full of sadness, but I feel complete. I think if the Dog Emperor came back again with his memories, he would still be so wary of the Shen family and Concubine Jing. When he was the emperor, he would never allow another Concubine Yang, even though he knew that Concubine Jing would not become like that. An emperor whose throne is not stable is not worthy of love. An emperor who needs to balance the government and opposition will not be obsessed with love. An emperor who does not have a virtuous legitimate son cannot express love. In fact, after the prince is determined, the dog emperor can be sure of his sincerity. But I, Liu Tai, am too calm and careless. After all, love in the harem is just that. It's too complicated to be disturbed. I didn't expect it at the beginning and naturally I won't fight in the end. If I don't have the intention, why would we meet again in the next life.
