A Love So Deep, I Know Not Where It Leads
I’ve read a lot of books, and there are always a few that linger in my mind. Mostly historical romance, transmigrate, and reborn stories, with sweet romances where the heroine is doted on. I don’t recommend stories without some twists. I like a little complexity, but not monologues.
Books I Finished and Want to Recommend
I add books based on my own tastes, and I have favorites in both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction. There are lots more I could include, but I haven't gone looking for them. I didn't have this list before, and there are probably plenty of other lists recommending well-known books, so I haven't added them all.
Books with Great Writing (No Mary Sues or Amateurish Prose)
Books with engaging stories: no melodrama, no Mary Sues, and no childish writing. They span both ancient and modern settings! I'll share them with you as I read.

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.

✨I Have No Willpower to Keep Up with Updates✨
Formerly known as “Pear Blossoms Drift Like Snow” From the opening of a novel by Zhizhi I Never have the willpower to follow ongoing stories. Or maybe I've never been able to stick with anything, not taking medicine when I'm sick, following novels or shows, going to bed early, getting up early, practicing calligraphy... Maybe it was always destined to be this way. I'm just a “terrible” reader. I'm sorry. I once loved “you,” the ongoing story, just not enough to see it through to the end. These

Heroines Who Conquered the World in Those Years
Empress novels have surged in popularity this year, and many have been excellent. It’s a shame there are so few of them. Most of the rest are strong female lead stories I enjoy. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had time to write up introductions for some of the books I’ve added. I’ll fill them in when I can. I’ll try to organize the list every year, and move completed books off it later. Hehe 😁 I changed the list’s name. Gotta keep up with the times 😬

Zhizhi's innovation and conservatism
Previous posts will not be displayed, please repost them Putting aside other discordant comments, let me talk about Zhizhi's writing style in my personal eyes. Let's talk about innovation first In terms of subject matter, Zhizhi rarely writes repetitive heroine types, and will not keep copying this routine just because of the success of the previous book. Traveling back to the era when literature was popular, Zhizhi created a new direction for concubine literature. With the great success of The Concubine's Guide, Zhizhi did not continue writing about the same type of subject matter, but began to write about local women like Fu Jiu. If Eleven Niang has the composure, intelligence, refinement, and ability of a modern working woman, then Fu Jiu has the tenacity of a local woman. At the beginning of Ninefold Purple, Zhizhi's eyes returned to the princes and princes again. The reborn Douzi satisfied many female readers' expectations for a heroine but not Mary Sue, so it was another small climax. I'm so busy during the summer. From morning to now, I can only squeeze in a few words intermittently to slowly write this article. I will slowly complete it later. As for innovation, what I want to express is that Zhizhi has never been an author who is content with the status quo and rests on his laurels. She has her own ideas and practices. Every time a new subject is changed, some people will always jump out and say: Author, the level of your book has dropped a lot compared to the previous book. It doesn't look like it was written by one person! Did you hire a ghostwriter? When I see this kind of remarks, I always get very angry and want to fight with the netizens on the other side through the network cable. But when I read it again, I found another statement: the last book was my favorite, and the new book does not have the same amazing feeling as the last book. This is really an interesting phenomenon. The market is not fixed, and the popularity of each subject will naturally vary depending on the audience. I think it is a blessing to have such an author who writes about no subject type countless times and challenges himself at the risk of losing his readership! Hua Jiao is Zhizhi's first heroine in a small family. Miss Biao, apart from the lovable character performance of the heroine, what surprised me the most was that I saw Zhizhi's attempt at a comedy style. It was not nonsense, but a comedy effect that came out naturally. I was very pleasantly surprised. And in terms of expression techniques, I can feel that Miss Biao has a more intuitive image and is very situational. Because of this, I am very optimistic about Miss Biao's business future. About being conservative No matter how the subject matter changes, the writing style and three views remain unchanged. Zhizhi still adheres to the inherent habit of writing articles: determine the subject matter first and write an outline first, and do not change the writing direction according to the will of the book lover after setting the outline. Learn relevant knowledge before writing. As a layman author with no academic background, he will learn a lot of information in advance when describing clothing, architecture, and architecture. The map is even used as a standard when writing the layout of Munangzhi Palace. Including many words, as someone who was once proud of my Chinese language skills, I did learn them from Zhizhi. Readers are not encouraged to spend money, and occasionally they feel embarrassed to ask for votes at the end of the month. And, in so many books, what never changes is that they always inadvertently explain their own outlook on life and values between the lines. This is something that cannot be replaced by others no matter how the subject matter changes. So in response to some so-called "ghostwriting" remarks and those who claim to be old book friends who provide guidance, I think this is irresponsible! Zhizhi's character is never black and white, and cannot be judged purely in terms of good or bad. The role of Chang Yan was originally a high-level house-fighting role. She was able to step on her sister-in-law, and even the bad reputation was given to Chang Ning. But in the face of great right and wrong, we also have our own persistence. The role of the second lady is even more characteristic of Zhizhiwen. She is not the protagonist, but she always has her own transparent and wonderful side, which is amazing. This is Zhizhi's writing style. There is still a lot of work to be done today. I will complete this post later when I have time. Finally, I hope everyone can happily pursue books and live happily. Love life, love novels, love Zhizhi

Some thoughts on Zhizhi's recent articles
Does Zhizhi never read the opinions of book fans? From the way the sedan chair ends, at least there is a natural interaction and sweet description of the emotional development of the male and female protagonists in the book. At the beginning of this book, I thought it was very well written, and the characters and plots were full of tension. However, in the middle of the book, it became clear that such a big situation was laid out in vain (seizing the right of birth, the royal family, official and business marriage unions, house fights, food, business, etc. There are many elements). But now it seems that it is too fast and I want to finish it quickly. At the beginning, the dialogues and trivial matters of the minor characters in the play could be continued for many scenes. Now in order to finish, the pace has accelerated and is not satisfactory compared to the previous ones. I have been reading Zhizhi's books for many years, and chasing your books has become an indelible habit in my life. I hope that book reviews can also allow those of us readers who really love Zhizhi to say something sincere, instead of just praising and advocating and turning a blind eye to the opinions of book fans. Really indescribable disappointment and sadness.
Wang Xi's character analysis
From the article, we can see that Wang Xi was born in a wealthy family. Not only was she rich and pampered, but she was a spoiled young lady. She had a good family and tutoring. In such a harmonious family, the influence of family education and the words and deeds of her elders had a good impact on her character and behavior. So she looks like a pretty girl, but she actually has very thoughts and judgments inside. She is very smart and very transparent. She can see the big from the small. Looking at a person's personality from the details, it can be seen that her vision and structure are not low. As a young girl who is still in her teens, it is normal to be curious about new things, but she does not lose the liveliness and cuteness of a girl. And judging from her views and judgments about the Hou Mansion, it can also be seen that she is not as cute and easy to bully as she looks. She is not a mistress who is easy to fool. She is actually a very independent person and is not the kind of character who is easily influenced by others. So far, the heroine's character creation and reaction to events are reasonable. There are no inconsistencies or illogical performances for the time being, so it's pretty good. Looking forward to more exciting content in the future! 🌹
I really don't dare to pursue articles anymore. . .
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but after a thousand words came to my lips, there was only one sentence of disappointment. Hua Jiao is like this, and so is cousin. When Huajiao was finished in a hurry, there were many readers who spoke for you in the comment area. They found various reasons for you, thinking that various objective reasons hindered your writing, and confidently believed that the next book would be better. However, reality slapped those readers hard in the face. The fact is that the same is true for Miss Biao, the new work. How dare you say that a novel with more than two hundred chapters was written by Zhi Zhi? With a hasty ending and only foreshadowing but no explanation, such a novel is actually written by the same person as The Concubine Guide? It's hard to believe. I still remember when I first started reading Zhai Dou Wen, everyone recommended a guide to concubines. After reading The Concubine's Guide, other otaku fighting stories instantly became boring. I really liked The Concubine's Guide and watched it three or four times, so much so that I didn't even dare to watch the film version of The Heart of the Heart. No matter how good the filming is, she is still not the Xu Lingyi, Eleven Niang, in my heart. I think novels are the most direct communication between authors and readers. Hua Jiao and Miss Cousin, I followed them chapter by chapter, but I didn't expect that their stories would end like this, hastily. It's like a life that ended abruptly and was full of regrets. I don't dare to read the new articles anymore. I hope to see the new novel that Zhizhi has actually written in the next novel recommendation post.

Zhizhi in my mind
From the time Huajiao suddenly ended and Miss Cousin started the book until now, there has been constant criticism. Some people claim to be fans of Zhi Zhi for more than ten years, and they jump out and say that Zhi Zhi's level has dropped, and the writing is incomprehensible... Others say that Zhi Zhi's level has been declining since Jinling Spring. In the later period, Mu Nazhi collapsed in order to reduce the number of words, and Hua Jiao also suddenly finished the book. It felt like a lot of threads were buried and the book was finished all at once, so many people cursed Zhi Zhi in their hearts. Have you ever thought about a problem? It's not that Zhizhi's level is declining, but that our aesthetics are constantly improving after watching Zhizhi's classics. Some people say that the best one written by Zhizhi is The Guide to the Concubine, others say Ninefold Purple, or Blooming Flowers, and others say Jinling Spring. Have you read one of these four books and chosen to fall in love with it? These four books are indeed the most perfect ones written by Zhizhi when he was young. The quality of these four books is indeed very high. But the quality of Mu Nanzhi, Quexianqiao, Huajiao and Miss Biao in the back is not good enough? I would like to say that Zhi Zhi's level has been rising. The Concubine's Guide, Jiuzhong Zi and Jin Ling Chun have been written around the inner house, and the later stages of Jiu Zhong Zi and Jin Ling Chun involved the court, and the level is also rising. Mu Nazhi, Zhi Zhi rose from being good at inner house to becoming a political strategist, Que Xian Bridge, Zhi Zhi tried the Southern and Northern Dynasties for the first time. Although the book was completed quickly, but in detail, the overall story of Que Xian Bridge is still very good. Huajiao, Zhizhi's first attempt to write about a small family like Yutang. You know, Zhizhi used to write about aristocratic families and big families. The reason why he finished the book so quickly is because Huajiao's time span is a bit long, and Zhizhi's preparation was not enough. The writing stopped abruptly when it reached the climax. If it continued, I think some people might be able to criticize it directly until the book is finished. This is enough to finish the book, that's it. Miss Cousin, besides Jin Ling Chun, this is my favorite book, because Shao Jin in Jin Ling Chun is also a cousin, but Wang Xi and Shao Jin have two completely different personalities. Shao Jin has to lower his head because he is under the eaves, so he has developed a cautious and timid character since he was a child, but everyone is attracted to each other. Isn't this kind of temperament what Uncle Chi loves? Uncle Chi is so powerful, and finding someone like Shao Jin is just right. Wang Xi is the favorite of the family. Her parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, brother and sister-in-law all love her. They have raised her to be fearless and carefree since she was a child. This kind of ghostly girl seems to be the first time Zhizhi has tried to write, and this is not a rebirth article yet. Since this is an attempt by Zhizhi, I hope everyone will be more patient and considerate of Zhizhi. Zhizhi also has seniors and juniors. If he could update three, four or five chapters a day, Zhizhi would definitely think more than us. But one update a day, three thousand words a day, must have Zhizhi's own reasons and considerations. I still say the same thing, if Zhizhi writes, I will subscribe and read it. If Zhizhi stops writing, I will buy a physical book to commemorate my favorite author. Having said all that, thank you all for continuing to support Zhizhi.

Oh my god, do you still need us to praise you for being so big? That's the platinum master from the starting point! The top master of Qidian Girls Network, the queen of ancient sayings. The stories she writes are always exquisite, sophisticated, and full of humanistic care. The plot is delicate and interlocking, the characters are vivid, and the details of food, clothing, housing, and transportation are worthy of careful consideration and appreciation. My favorite male and female protagonists are all written by Zhi Da, and I never tire of it 🌹🌹🌹
Zhizhi, I hope you can read the book reviews. I have read all your books, including The Concubine's Guide five times. Mu Nanzhi followed the series for more than a year and read it twice. Starting from Xia Houyu's article, you stopped abruptly when the plot was getting better. The same is true for Huajiao. I saw you saying that you were feeling unwell before, and I understand the writer very well. It was very difficult, so Miss Cousin, I have been waiting for this article for a long time. I hope it will be your comeback and a well-written work. I think your level is very good as always, but it is not because of the film and television adaptation of The Concubine and Mu Nazhi that you were too busy to write it down patiently. Everyone couldn't bear this sudden stop in your latest three articles. I no longer dare to support your new article, and I don't know how long you are talking about... I am afraid that the characters I love in the book will end up in a mess, and I will have to rely on my imagination for the rest of my life. I have joined your book fan group before, and everyone is full of expectations for you. Even when you said that you were not feeling well and would take a year off, you were willing to wait for you, but you were really disappointed. When the characters you carefully created just took on a three-dimensional image, it ended 😐 I really hope you can see the mood of the book fans, {"NickName":"*squeak*","UserId":101469846}
