The Book Club Leader
The river and sky merge into one, not a mote of dust between them; high above, the solitary moon shines bright. Who first saw the moon beside the river? In what year did the river moon first shine on humankind?
The Heterodox Way and the Buddhist School
The autumn wind rises, and white clouds fly; the grass and trees turn yellow and fall, and the wild geese fly south. Orchids bloom, chrysanthemums are fragrant; I think of my beloved and cannot forget. I sail in a grand boat across the Fen River, cutting through the current and raising white waves. Flutes and drums sound, oarsmen sing; joy reaches its height, yet sorrow fills the heart. How brief are youth and strength; what can one do about growing old?
The Xuanyuan Myth
One stretch of mountain road, one stretch of river; I journey toward the far side of Yuguan, where a thousand tents glow with lamplight deep into the night. One watch of wind, one watch of snow; the noise shatters my homesick dreams. My old home knows no sounds like these.
The Emperor Laughs at the Heavens
At a small gathering at Anyuan Tower, a singer surnamed Huang who entertained the guests with wine and song asked the Daoist of Longzhou for a lyric, and he composed this “Tang Duo Ling.” Present were Liu Fuzhi, Liu Qufei, Shi Minzhan, Zhou Jiazhong, Chen Mengcan, and Meng Rong. It was the fifth day of the eighth month.
Barbarians Transforming the Xia
Reeds fill the islet; cold sand borders the shallow stream. After twenty years, I pass South Tower again. Beneath the willows, I tie up my boat, but it is not yet steady. How many days can it be before Mid-Autumn comes again? The Yellow Crane's rocky headland is deserted. Is my old friend still alive? The old landscape is unchanged, yet everywhere it stirs new sorrow. I would buy osmanthus blossoms and take them along with wine, but it would never be like those youthful days of wandering.
The Night the Wind Passed Through
Let everything before this be as if it died yesterday; let everything from now on be as if it were born today.
Recommendations for My Personal Taste
Drunk, I slept deeply through spring; we played at guessing lines from books, and spilled tea in our laughter. Back then, I thought it was all ordinary.
A Heart Not Yet Worn Down
You cannot discuss the sea with a frog in a well, for it is confined to its hole; you cannot discuss ice with an insect born in summer, for it is bound by its season.
So Cute, It'll Make Everyone Cry
I want to thread my way through the flowers, seeking a path that leads straight into the depths of the white clouds, where my mighty spirit can unfurl like a rainbow.
Daydreams Are the Most Beautiful
Withered vines, old trees, dusk crows; a little bridge, a flowing stream, a few homes; an ancient road, the west wind, a lean horse.
Keeping Only the Most Satisfying Reads
Do not lean alone against the railing. The land stretches on without end; it is easy to leave, but hard to meet again.
Take Your Time, These Are Gems
I am a sorrowful wanderer in this world. You know why my tears fall unchecked; through these heart-rending songs, I remember all the years gone by.
Great Books I've Read Over the Years
The glory of youth will not wait for the young. This endless regret, when will it end?
Great Stories That Left a Deep Impression
A beauty took her own life on the banks of the Wu River; flames of war once consumed Red Cliff; a general grew old in vain at Yumen Pass.
Hiking Trips
Those who understand me know that my heart is troubled; those who don't wonder what I am seeking.
The Countryside Has the Best Scenery
When the wily hare is dead, the hunting dogs are cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the enemy state is defeated, the strategist is killed.
The Clear Sound of a Breaking Heart
One stretch of mountain road, one stretch of river; I journey toward the far side of Yuguan, where a thousand tents glow with lamplight deep into the night.
I'm Melting from All the Cuteness
The greatest square has no corners; the greatest vessel takes shape slowly; the greatest music is barely heard; the greatest form has no shape.
Everything Here Is a Satisfying Read
Who has sent a letter in the clouds? As the wild geese fly back in formation, moonlight fills the western tower.
Can't Hold On to the Sun
A tree that takes two arms to encircle grows from a tiny sprout; a nine-story tower rises from piles of earth; a journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet.
Good Books Make for a Good Mood
An orchid grows in a secluded valley and remains fragrant even if no one wears it. A boat sails on rivers and seas, whether or not anyone boards it. A gentleman acts righteously and does not stop just because no one recognizes him.
Flowers Bloom in Midsummer
Alas! Even if only three families remain in Chu, they can still bring Qin down. Surely our great land is not entirely without heroes!
Fleeting Memories
Last night, in a quiet dream, I suddenly returned home. By the small window, you were fixing your hair. We looked at each other without a word, with only endless tears between us.
Heartache Drifts with the Wind
Who thinks of me, alone in the autumn chill? Yellow leaves rustle as I close the sparse window, standing in the fading sunlight, lost in memories of the past.

Very exciting and worth pursuing
When are you guys going to update?
Hunter
Such a beautiful book, even if I love diving, I still want to support it.
Very wonderful work! Worth a look! Collected! Take your time and watch! Come on update! Welcome to visit us and give us advice!
The story is really exciting, especially the character of the male protagonist. I like it the most. He is very different from other male protagonists. It is really enjoyable to watch. To describe it in one word, it is "enjoyable".
Already collected, "I Open a Bar in Tianyuan Star"!
Why did you sign the contract with just over 10,000 words? So enviable and jealous
Um? Why are our books so similar? Your male protagonist is named Aaron, and mine is also named Aaron. Your male protagonist is a detective, and mine is also a detective. They both have a Grammatical background. What a strange fate. I have never read your book before. Are they all related by blood?
