Xuan Xiao's Book Recommendations
We parted among last year's blossoms; now the flowers bloom again, and a year has passed.
A Veteran Reader and Struggling Author's Reading List
A mixed-bag list from an old-school reader, with all sorts of tastes. Come take a look~ (I don't usually include the famous big-name authors everyone already knows, except for a few truly divine books) 🤞🤞🤞 Book recommendations in the reviews are welcome. I'll make time to check them out~
Novels Without Harem Protagonists
No harem novels
Pure Colors
Alone in the autumn cold, I stand at the head of Orange Isle as the Xiang River flows north. I watch the mountains blaze red, their layered forests dyed with color; the river stretches emerald-clear, crowded with boats racing onward. Eagles soar through the sky, fish glide in the shallows, and every living thing competes for freedom beneath the frosty heavens. I am filled with vast, troubled thoughts and ask the boundless earth: who controls the rise and fall of all things?
Top Picks: Starting at Lv. 1, Not Quite a Master Yet
Sigh! It’s all because I led a bunch of troublemakers astray. I recommend a book because I think it’s good, and you give me a thumbs-down 👎. You’re doing that on purpose, aren’t you? How am I supposed to get praise from people who check out the list later? How am I supposed to get a thumbs-up 👍?
A Veteran Reader of Over a Decade: Exclusive Picks, Mostly One Heroine, No Mindless Harem Stories
I'm not into fantasy, so this list is mostly urban fiction and historical stories. I've been reading on Qidian for over a decade, starting with The Profane, A Misty Journey, Record of an Immortal, and The Legend of the Little Soldier, then moving on to The Blood of Beasts, Tang Bricks, The Golden Eyes, and more. My tastes have changed over time. I used to insist on multiple heroines and wouldn't read anything without wish fulfillment. Now I'm tired of that and don't want to read it anymore. Thes

Qin Mohan is the female lead, right? Based on Dilraba Dilmurat? It makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I can hardly watch it. I already felt uncomfortable when Liang Hui, who was modeled after Yang Mi, appeared. These celebrities have too many flaws and no highlights. They rely purely on creating a persona and fabricating scandals to maintain their popularity.
After the female lead appeared, I felt awkward reading any chapter featuring her.
The female lead's character is fine now, but the idea of sacrificing herself for her career is a hidden poison! There's a reason why actors usually date people in the same industry. Imagine you own a film company, find a good script and a good male lead, and then you let your wife play the female lead. Where are you going to watch them kissing and touching each other?
Some parts have been modified.
Many netizens complained about certain chapters, especially the scenes where the two met. To be honest, this is my first time writing a novel, and some parts were written under duress. After seeing everyone's comments, I went back and reviewed it again, and I plan to revise the content when I have some free time. All the revised chapters will not affect the later plot. If you are interested, you can go back and take a look.
Because I care, I take things very seriously. The protagonist is said to have some musical talent in the story. Why wasn't my past life included? I endured a lot of hardship, started my own business, had a talent for advertising, and even won a major award. It wasn't mentioned in my work's biography, and it's not reflected in my rebirth.
To be honest, I've always thought Dilraba was ugly. I've asked quite a few friends, and about half of them said they didn't think she was pretty at all, and that her looks were a bit strange. But some people said she was pretty, haha!
The protagonist's character is problematic, isn't it? Someone who built a company in their past life, someone who survived cancer and attempted suicide, would become depressed because of their parents' divorce? An adult raised by their older sister? Afraid of not surviving because they have money? While they might crave family affection, they shouldn't become a helpless child, right? You might as well write that the protagonist transmigrates from the age of three.
Hmm... I feel really lucky to have found this book. After work, the thing I look forward to most is your book updates. Keep it up...
I've read over forty chapters. It's okay for those bored and looking for something to read, but it's not particularly interesting. The protagonist is reborn into a wealthy family, a typical rich second-generation heir. With his reborn memories, he invests in some businesses in the US and makes a lot of money. His life after returning to China is uneventful.
Actually, the book was alright at the beginning, but after the female lead appeared, it just felt awkward no matter how I looked at it. It felt like the author was a woman, and the male lead was a rich, talented, and handsome man who lacked love since childhood and was fawning over her, while she was completely indifferent to the consequences of not caring about love and was willing to make necessary sacrifices for the great art. Ah! What a Mary Sue-esque female-centric novel!
