Great Books That Keep You Turning the Pages

Books I can't wait to read in one sitting, with none that make me want to give up halfway through. The list may be short, but every title is one I've read myself and want to share. I hope to make this a list of women's fiction classics.

The Miscellaneous Book Corner

These are all books I really enjoy, across a wide range of genres. Overall, though, most have interesting plots, with fantasy and historical fiction being the most common.

Keepsakes of Time

A personal collection of books I have read in recent years. Mainly protagonists focused on their careers, with romance as a secondary element. Career-focused, slice-of-life, and no-romance works are included. I reject domineering CEOs, Mary Sues, palace intrigue, household intrigue, and stallion novels. I like protagonists who are firm and rational, self-reliant and strong. Both female-oriented and male-oriented novels are included, across all kinds of genres.

Plot-Focused, No CP: No Female or Male Lead, or a Single Female Lead

Personal taste, and a pretty broad range of genres. In plot-driven stories, I don't like romance subplots or all that will-they-won't-they stuff, with endless scenes about who likes whom. When it's not written clearly, it just feels like padding.

Bai Lan's [Books I've Personally Tested] List

This is my personal reading list, shared in the hope that anyone in a reading slump can find a book to their taste. Mostly no-CP and no male lead. When there's a male lead, the protagonist's intelligence tends to go missing, so I usually skip those. A few have couples, but the female leads stay smart. I've read every book here myself; I don't recommend books I haven't read. I've taste-tested them for you, so read with confidence~*^o^* (If you're extremely picky and don't like the list, just move

✨ True Readers Aren't Afraid to Wait for Updates ✨

🍁 “Zhu Rou” 🍁 🍁 “Zhu Rou” 🍁 📓📓 Genre-specific list, all historical romance 🌱🌱 Supporting new works, mostly ongoing As the saying goes: There are good holes to fall into everywhere. Why pine for just one pit? A true reader, even after being abandoned in a pit, is never afraid to jump into another! Just when you're most engrossed in a story, the author suddenly abandons you in the pit. I think every Qidian reader has a story like this. Beating your chest, going berserk and flipping the table, c

Great Ongoing Novels with Female Leads

Please add this list to your favorites, and send flowers. This list was originally meant to round up good female-lead stories from 2018, but many of the ongoing novels have since finished, so I moved them to genre lists or my main list. These days, it’s mostly for ongoing stories I like. I’m especially fond of historical romance, quick transmigration, and apocalypse stories.
