The entertainment novels are mainly about Chinese and Hong Kong showbiz. The urban novels are mainly about being reborn.

Absolute Gems! A Twenty-Year Veteran Reader’s Sincere Recommendations, Part 1
Based on my years of reading web novels, ever since they first took off, these are books I've always felt were worth reading for their creativity, stories, writing, or depth. Of course, books from twenty years ago feel different from those written today, but overall, I think they're well worth collecting and reading. I know everyone has their own tastes. I just want to remember the books that accompanied me through classes, nights, subway rides, and coffee shops, always there with me along the w

A contest to guess the female lead! Leave a comment if you like her. Prizes are to be determined (the author is too poor; prizes under ten yuan do not include shipping). 😭😭
My new book is out! I hope everyone will support it! The previous books were indeed a bit short, but if the results are decent, I'll try to reach three million words for this one. At least I've learned some lessons, so the leap won't be too big. Keep it up! 🌹🌹🌹
Is the San Francisco gigolo about to make a comeback? 🤭
I'm just giving the author a compliment. The writing is quite good. The main female characters—Anna, Song, the female boss, and Zhao Bailuo—at least left a general impression on me. Even the female neighbor was memorable; not bad at all, quite satisfying.
Tao Jun, I suggest you start a new book; your writing is so good. Try a different approach, don't be so awkward and conflicted. Just put yourself completely in their shoes and write about how you became a heartless capitalist… A game, a dream—let's be straightforward!
I initially thought you were going to use this novel to make a comeback, but it turned out to be more and more of a harem erotica novel. Older women, neighbors, all sorts of promiscuous affairs. It's become a chaotic mess.
Uh, you're American, why did you come back? People who say one thing and mean another can't get by anywhere.
I hate seeing wealthy people dabbling in antiques; it artificially inflates their value. They can drive up prices in several major categories through auctions in just a few years, then find fools to buy them. These fools are usually nouveau riche… As Chinese people become wealthy, Western auction houses and antique dealers collectively speculate on Chinese artifacts.
There was a news story about "American Chinese female gambling god Zhao Suxi", who was very good at playing poker in various casinos in the United States. She died in 2020 at the age of 33. She was murdered and her body was burned. The protagonist was reborn in Chinatown in the United States and made a lot of money in a short period of time, which many people now know. He was actually wandering around alone...
Holy crap, is eunuchhood fashionable now? This is the first time I've ever seen self-castration. Survival and reproduction are biological instincts, the author is amazing!
