The Qunyinghui Update-Request Reading List
A gathering of greats: every book here was carefully chosen. I finished them and still wanted more, eager to urge the authors to update. No need to favorite this list to seek investment or promote books, thanks! Lately I’ve been enjoying stories about the Ming dynasty, so I’ve gathered a few to see if the Ming can defy fate and change its fortunes. I’ve always liked entertainment-industry stories, but somehow forgot to recommend any. Hope you enjoy them.

Dreaming Back to the Ends of the Earth: A Historical Fiction Recommendation Hub
🌟 This list is really more of a bookmark folder. Every book here is one I plan to read, am currently reading, or have already finished. I wouldn't include any books I don't want to read myself. There are also some books I haven't recommended individually, only mentioned in the descriptions of other books. That doesn't mean they're bad. I just don't think they need a separate recommendation. They're either too well known, similar in style to the books I recommend, or written by the same author. S

Honestly, it's really interesting. Even I, someone who never reads this type of book, found it very interesting. I'm making a bet on it: if it's not abandoned, this book will definitely be a hit.
Yan Song went to the capital to take the imperial examination. It was the eighteenth year of the Hongzhi reign. Historically, this was the last year of Emperor Xiaozong. I wonder how many more years the author planned to extend Emperor Xiaozong's reign. Medical conditions were similar to those of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi was 69 years old, and Emperor Qianlong was 89.
The main character is a bit unlikable; he feels very realistic, turning his back on people without hesitation, fawning over those he can't afford to offend, and shirking responsibility for those he can't use.
I can't stand it anymore. In a feudal dynasty, there can't be two suns in the sky. Two emperors? Both ruling in person? Are they going to fight each other? While the writing is interesting, putting aside its illogicality, too much of this becomes tiresome. And are the old ministers planning to follow the retired emperor after his death? However, it's highly likely that he'll retire.
After reading this book, I felt that the author was really humorous. I laughed so hard I almost split my legs while reading.
This book is enjoyable—my personal opinion: Yan Chengjin is serious! Wang Shouren is rigid! Zhu Taizi is vulgar—like Pigsy! It's humorous and interesting, perfect for passing the time at a leisurely pace! I'm offering my only monthly pass...
I found some price data from the early Zhengde period, which the author can refer to. The following content is excerpted from "Price Fluctuations and Consumer Expenditure in the Ming Dynasty—Also Considering the Quality of Life of the People in the Ming Dynasty" by Chen Baoliang.
I wonder if someone with a personality like the protagonist would have friends in real life? Wouldn't that be a bit too boring...?
The second chapter of the essay argues that Hongzhi was a wise ruler, and that the author's stance was entirely on the side of the scholar-officials.
