Peach Blossoms in This World
Reading a novel is like savoring good food. Everyone has their own tastes, so the most important thing is that the reader enjoys the novel.
A Binge-Worthy List of Smart, Stunning Female Leads
A picky reader A bookworm of over ten years I have very strong personal reading preferences. A book doesn’t have to be pure wish fulfillment, but the logic and characters’ intelligence need to hold up! Sometimes I do enjoy pure wish-fulfillment fiction: so engrossing that I’m swept along by the pacing, with no need to think. All that matters is the satisfying rush. I still favor beautiful female protagonists who are self-reliant and smart. [Mostly xianxia and xuanhuan with no male lead] [A few h
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 Picky Young Novice
I read transmigration, rebirth, and similar stories. I do not read cultivation, portable-space, fantasy, or other nonsense like that... Huh? What category does Duanmu belong to? I might count it as rebirth. I only add books that I personally have strong feelings about, such as ones I both like and hesitate over, or ones I read a little of, found disappointing, and added just to complain about. Some are so bad that I refuse to add them even if they leave an impression. So I feel like I browse at

Mom, It’s Them! They’re Keeping Me From Studying _(:3"∠)_
I mainly read women's fiction, but I read men's fiction too. [Thanks to everyone who saved the list and sent flowers >3<] I haven't read many novels over the past couple of years, so I haven't really updated the list either. orz ↓↓↓Feel free to check out my other list ❤❤❤ Historical romance list: “Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men?” It features historical romances with grand, sweeping court rivalries.

What My Heart Loves
First, a note: this list isn't limited to novels from the main site. It also includes female-oriented novels. I'm a woman, so please don't be surprised to see those here. These are novels I personally enjoy, with engaging plots and good writing. To me, whether they're from the main site or the female-oriented section, they're all worth reading. I especially like historical fiction, mysteries, crime investigation, historical romance, and xianxia, so most books on my list fall into those categori

Little Meow's Garden
The internet is the cure for sorrow. Why can we only pick one tag? Either historical romance or fantasy romance. That makes no sense... Are we only allowed to read one kind of book? I'm a flirt; I read everything. I actually started with male-oriented novels, all kinds of fantasy and cultivation stories!!!!
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 😬

I don't care whether I support the male lead or not, I only support the female lead.
Having read novels for many years, I've never encountered a book where the male protagonist is so hard to predict. But hope Da's books often leave me stumbling, and although they're difficult to guess, I still enjoy reading them immensely.

A female knight-errant book that is more than just about love.
👌I devoured all the chapters I'd been saving up for days, and it left me feeling refreshed and invigorated. If I had to describe the girls in the book in one word, I'd call them "heroines"! Hope Xing, you're truly daring and talented at writing! I've been reading historical romance novels for a long time.
Could we have a male lead like Xie Yanfang? A refined young master from a noble family, gentle and elegant, with a noble and graceful demeanor, but also cunning and resourceful when necessary. I absolutely love this type! And please, a scholar type would be even better!
