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

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
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

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 😬

It doesn't matter if I stand for the male lead or not, I only stand for the female lead
I have read novels for many years, but I have never encountered a book where the male protagonist is difficult to guess. However, Xida's books often make people feel uncomfortable. Although it is difficult to guess, they still enjoy it. Later I watched "The Landlord in Ancient Times", and it turned out that in Xida's mind, the male protagonist may not be the one who is with the female protagonist (who knows if Xida still thinks so in her heart now), and finally understood why the male supporting roles are so much more exciting and difficult to guess than the male protagonist. But this kind of story looks really fresh and breaks away from the traditional male and female perspectives. I like it very much. In "The Great Emperor", Qingzi is so powerful that he takes on both the female lead and the male lead, so there is no need for a male lead (although I personally prefer Liantang Ge and Pei Jixi), so the male lead is an unfair competition where everyone has a chance, but no one is sure, and it only depends on who the mother-in-law chooses! Just like Emperor Ji, Qingzi is not the real Emperor Baozhang, so the title of the book "Queen of Chu" does not necessarily mean that Chu Zhao is also a queen in this life. In this life, will Chu Zhao become the queen like in the previous life, or will he become the queen like Minglou? If we divide the world, I still like her to be the queen! Uncle Zhong is like another Uncle Yuanji, but it's a pity that there is no beautiful Uncle Min here 😁

Your favorite supporting role
There are thousands of supporting characters, some are forgotten in the passage of time, and some are unforgettable every time I think of them. So which supporting role is your favorite and unforgettable? Is it Mr. Qingxia who blooms thousands of trees in the east wind night, or is it Uncle Min who is willing to destroy his favorite appearance to avenge blood in parallel time and space, or is it Xie Rouqing who is physically disabled but strong-willed, or is it the naughty and cute Mr. Si Brown? Please speak freely in the comment area!
Chu Zhao is here
Just write a little joke
Assume that the ending is as Chu Zhao wants now, and finally leaves the palace, with the sky high and the sea wide, traveling freely. After everything was settled, A Le also returned to Yunzhong County first. At dawn that day, Chu Zhao had left quietly without disturbing anyone. She put on a pair of coarse linen clothes, a headscarf, and carried a package on her back to hide her appearance. She joined the flow of people leaving the city and was inconspicuous. As we walked, the crowds on the road gradually became sparse. The handsome man riding a horse on the roadside in front is particularly eye-catching. He seems to be waiting for someone. Chu Zhao smiled. She walked towards the man and looked up at him: "Mr. Ah Jiu, have you decided to follow me?" The man sneered disdainfully: "You have overthought Miss Ah Fu, I was just along the way." "Okay, then I will go with you." The man snorted coldly and stretched out his hand, "Why are you not afraid that I will sell you?" Chu Zhao smiled and grabbed his hand, and was pulled on the horse by the man. "Then it's 50-50... No, 70-30, I'll give you 70-30." They galloped towards the horizon at the end of the road.

A book about heroines that is not just about love
👌I read the chapters I had saved for many days in one go. Four big words, I felt refreshed. If I had to use one word to describe the girls in the book, I would call them, heroines! Thank you so much, I really dare to write! Very good at writing! I started reading ancient romance novels a long time ago. I have seen too many types of articles, including farming, palace fighting, house fighting, silly and sweet. I have also seen all kinds of strife and exploitation between women in the article, and they harm each other by any means. And whether it's novels or history, they are all so tolerant of men! Beautify their shortcomings and mythologise their achievements. "Queen of Chu" is different. In this book, I saw a variety of girls, who went from ignorance to awakening, from porcelain dolls to living heroines. Ajiang, who plays chess, goes from belittling himself to standing up to rectify the name of the "little woman" and his own life. The circle of noble women she belongs to used to gossip and fight with each other, but now they can face victory or defeat calmly and encourage each other to grow. It is really pleasing to watch. Zhaozhao, our heroine, has gone from a humble life of worrying about gains and losses in her previous life to the ambition of her family, country, and country. She has put aside the discord in her small family and focused on the big picture. We look forward to her growing into a female politician in the future! There is also the female character I think is the most interesting, Chu Tang. I really like this selfish and smart girl. She is not reborn but has high sensitivity and exquisite orifices. She wants to maximize her own interests at all times! For such a girl, what wonderful changes will happen when she no longer sticks to marriage plans and starts to care about big things like the Dragon Industry? Whether she ends up in opposition or cooperation, I'm looking forward to it! Xixing Dada's book is really great! In other novels, what we see is that "those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish." Those who belong to the same faction as the heroine are sensible and open-minded, while those who are against the heroine are all "evil female partners" who are so hateful that they make people itch. But this book dares to tell us that girls are more than kind, more than transparent, more than a virgin that can be broken at the touch of a touch. We girls can be domineering, gentle, selfish, and dedicated. No matter what kind of personality we have, it cannot be used as a single label to define a person or determine a person's life or death. The best thing about this book is that it dares to tear off the masks of these men! What kind of gentleman is unparalleled in the world, what kind of gentleness is as gentle as jade, what kind of orchid and jade tree... Please! As long as we are human, we are all the same! What's more, these politicians and crown princes, don't be deceived by their "personality". "Big men" bully "little women" every day, stepping on the withered bones of beautiful women to reach the pinnacle of their lives, it's shameful! "Queen of Chu" is meant to make these big men tremble. The future era must be the era of us women!
Can there be a male protagonist like Xie Yanfang? A young master from aristocratic family, gentle as jade, noble and graceful, but also capable of tricks and scheming when necessary. I love this kind of thing so much, let's have something scholarly.
