A Booklist for Cool Autumn Days and Falling Leaves&
Autumn is gradually deepening, and the sunlight isn't as bright as it was in early summer. So, are there books just right for reading in autumn? Of course there are. What should you read in autumn? What kinds of books suit the season? In the list owner's opinion, autumn calls for breezy books, namely, feel-good stories. Summer is a good time for fiery plots, while autumn is the season for cool, lighthearted reads that won't feel stuffy.
An Older Reader's Currently Reading List
Fifteen years of web novels, collected in a personal reading list. Add as many as you like: these are all books I've read or am currently reading and enjoyed.
Mainly Recommending Lesser-Known Historical Periods
This list focuses on stories from lesser-known historical periods, including the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Qin and Han dynasties, the Jin, Northern and Southern dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the transition from the Yuan to the Ming, and foreign history. I'll carefully select books with good writing and compelling stories to recommend. Those with especially original premises and strong writing will get extra attention. These are books that aren't dumbed
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.
[Brilliant Stars] That Summer Night, We Gazed at the Milky Way
👌☝🖐 Every novel worth recognizing is a thrilling vortex leading to a real world, capturing a moment of glory as its author ascends to godhood. A good novel should be a vivid world that runs on its own, with an internally consistent logic. These fictional worlds are like stars of varying brightness, shining across the heavens. This list gathers a selection from that galaxy for your consideration. The most important criterion for evaluating a novel here is its [world-building completeness]. For no

A List to Pass the Time (History, Fanfiction, and Xianxia)
I really haven't found many good books lately, though plenty on my list are still updating. (Most were added gradually after I'd read them.) I'll finish some of my backlog before looking for new ones. Since I've read most of these, the list reflects my personal tastes pretty strongly. My preferences keep changing, too, so it's a bit of a mess 🤔. Please bear with me. (Though maybe hardly anyone looks at my list anyway.) Thanks to July for the joy your books brought me. I dedicate this to July, t
My Favorite Historical Fiction (Mostly Power Struggles and Lesser-Known Dynasties)
Experience the weight of history. This list includes both new and old books. Recommendations are welcome~ (P.S. I recommend some books in the comments.)
Reading List No. 3: Historical Fiction
Good historical fiction
Smart Characters, No Saintly Heroines, No System
Updates whenever I feel like it. (Not sure if you've noticed, but lately I've been updating at night. Hiding my face, hiding my face, hiding my face.) No restrictions on content. Male- and female-oriented novels are both welcome. If you have any recommendations, leave them in the comments. If you like the novels I've recommended, please rate them and save this list. Thanks (λಡ_ಡﾞ) I'll remove a book if its bad reviews exceed 6 out of 10 (once there are more than ten reviews). If there aren't m
Turn, Let Go, Leave, Light, Scatter, Slow
Six simple words, yet they mean so much. Life has many turning points. Whether things are painful or not, we have to keep moving forward. Sometimes a book stays with us through many different stages of life, through pain, joy, and hardship. That's why this list spans so many stages of life. We read books, but what we savor is life!
Like a Murmuring Stream, Almost Soundless
As the saying goes, a lesser recluse hides in the wilderness, while a true recluse can hide among the stones, amid the noise and bustle. Staying calm amid the clamor, steadfast in your original purpose, is rare and precious. The stories we browse and the books we read grow under those same conditions. That's no easy feat, so let's treasure every book, starting with me.
Books I Found Interesting
Every book on this list is one I've read myself. I'm mainly sharing them with others.
Decent Enough to Read
These are books I've read and thought were pretty good. I don't like stories that try too hard to look cool. Substance matters, and the plot has to make sense. The author matters too, of course. I'm in a reading slump lately. If you've come across any good books, please recommend them. Thanks! So many books on the charts lately are comedy stories full of silly characters, or shallow wish-fulfillment tales about leveling up and fighting monsters. Even the xianxia stories I love have mostly turned
Recent Favorites: Showbiz, Urban, Period, and Historical Fiction
They're all male-protagonist novels. Most have sound values, likable personalities, plenty of jokes, and none are dumbed-down wish fulfillment. The characters are written with care, the supporting cast is smart too, and the heroines are likable. My second account's list leans more toward historical fiction, with some overlap. It's called A Ten-Year Bookworm's Reading List.
Historical Gems
Personally tested and approved.

Stand Tall as a Cliff: Desirelessness Brings Strength, A Will Beyond the Ordinary
The sea embraces a hundred rivers, and greatness lies in its capacity to contain them. A cliff that rises ten thousand feet stands firm because it desires nothing. Behind the birth of every quality novel, there are often things we never see. Authors must avoid pressure from the outside world while overcoming the difficulties they place upon themselves: the confusion of being ignored, the bewilderment of poor reviews, the helplessness of missed updates, and fans who do not understand. These are a

Wu Zetian turned the prosperous Tang Dynasty into a period of decline. Her only contribution was producing a female emperor; she didn't significantly alter history. Frankly, Wu Zetian can only be considered a tyrant, not a great person. She doesn't deserve to be called great. Greatness is about reversing the tide of history, creating a golden age, ending chaos, and liberating the people.
I don't know why there are so many posts defending Wu Zetian, so I'll just post the military achievements of the Wu Zhou dynasty. A dynasty's military record is the most direct indicator of its strength or weakness.
This book was really engaging, since handsome people always have some kind of connection with each other, right, everyone?
On political struggles and the overall situation.
Many people lack the patience to watch the later parts and are extremely disgusted by the political infighting in the early stages. Let me share my understanding. (I've already read the latest chapter. I'll get on board first and pay later. I'm broke, but I'll slowly add more chapters later.)
This recent picture has a strong martial arts vibe; I think it could even be turned into a movie spin-off. The plot would be like this: The third son of the former crown prince secretly formed a society to restore the Tang dynasty, but was betrayed by an internal traitor, and his entire family was captured and killed by Empress Wu.
The criticism seems to focus on the author's praise of Wu Zetian. But that's not a big deal. Which emperor in history didn't have a lot of flaws? Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song all had their share of problems. In fact, from a modern perspective, no emperor was particularly magnanimous.
Wu Zetian's reign must have been a dark period, but her courage deserves recognition.
I still admire Wu Zetian quite a bit. Just the fact that a woman became empress in a patriarchal era (even though she usurped her own son and betrayed her husband's trust—honestly, among all the emperors I've heard of, only one involved a son usurping his parents' power, or a mother usurping her son's power) is enough to make her a legend for thousands of years.

Many schools of thought re-emerged during the Tang Dynasty, while the status of Confucianism had greatly declined due to centuries of war.
After centuries of war and turmoil, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the status of Confucianism plummeted. The practical problems brought about by centuries of war forced aristocratic intellectuals to seek new paths, as the ideas of Confucianism were simply not feasible in reality.
The correct way to read grand and solemn articles
Don't read it as a historical novel—read it from the perspective of a modern urban entertainment story, and you'll have a completely different experience, haha. People in the Tang Dynasty also had pursuits of spiritual entertainment; Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty and Su Shi of the Song Dynasty were superstars. Not only in China, but also in Korea and Japan, Su Shi was a national idol.
