The Bookish Manor
This list has room for only fifty books, so every new addition means another has to go. Abandoned or censored books get removed first. Feel free to recommend a book you think is great, though I may not add it. Most of the books here are ones I've read myself. After all, you can't speak about a book you haven't read. The overall quality is pretty good, selected with eight years of experience. Follow the list if you enjoy it.
Collecting and Recommending New Books, Looking for Ones I'll Like
Looking for some new books. There's nothing good on the rankings.
I Love History, Even Though Real History Is Heavy!
Mainly transmigration novels set in the late Ming and early Qing. I'll also recommend good novels set in the Tang and Song dynasties.
A Little Book Bag With Absolutely No Standards
I actually use this list as a bookshelf. I add books I've finished or that haven't finished updating yet, then wait until they've built up enough chapters to binge. So I have no particular standards for what I collect here. I don't care about recommendations, favorites, or monthly ticket rankings. I just go by the book's appeal, its updates, and whether it has been abandoned. Anyway, everything on this list is something I've read, so if you find something you like, give it a try. The rest doesn'

Chu Qiu's Reading List
Writing: Simply put, this refers to an author's basic command of language and ability to tell a story. Themes: This means the ideas and messages traditionally found in literary works. Web novels do have their own peculiarities, of course, but I venture to say that a web novel's themes can generally be judged from two angles. First, the issues the author seeks to examine, along with the ideas and emotions conveyed through the work. Second, the perspective from which the work approaches its subjec

Ming Dynasty Historical Fiction
Never submit, never pay tribute. The emperor guards the frontier, and the ruler dies for the state. Those few words capture the spirit of the Ming dynasty. At the same time, it had no shortage of ridiculous emperors. So how did the dynasty last for more than two hundred years? Let's find out through these novels.

If you see the protagonist sitting idly by while the massacre of Nanchang occurs in order to gain power, there's no point in continuing to watch. The protagonist no longer cares about human life for power, treating the people like dirt, failing to save those who could be saved, and waiting for Nanchang to fall in order to legitimize his rise to power.
I drew a simple sketch, which took me several hours, and I corrected the mistakes. The author, Jun, hopes for a positive review and to have this post pinned. 🙂🙂🙂
Many authors writing novels about the late Ming Dynasty focus too much on legal principles and popular sentiment. They all adhere to the principle that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. But how many people know that the "people" in "whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world" never refers to ordinary commoners? What does the overall situation have to do with them?
The Feng Shui Map of Emperor Shizu of the Ming Dynasty
There are many novels from the late Ming Dynasty that depict both rebellion and non-rebellion. The key to this difference lies in the author's fundamental view on the problems at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Those who chose to rebel believed that the entire Ming Dynasty system was rotten and there was no other way but to overthrow it and start over.
I'll continue updating once I find the number.
Emperor Hongwu was the most prolific emperor in the Ming Dynasty, fathering 26 sons. His eldest son, Zhu Biao, was made crown prince, while his 26th son, Zhu Nan, died young and was not granted a fief. He actually granted titles to 24 princes: Prince of Qin (Zhu Shuang), Prince of Jin (Zhu Gang), Prince of Yan (Zhu Di), Prince of Zhou (Zhu Su), Prince of Chu (Zhu Zhen), Prince of Qi (Zhu Fu)…
Recently, many readers in the book review section have been saying that the author has been assimilated by the locals and lacks the superiority of a time traveler! They say the author should have different aspirations! Of course, it's not just readers who have this idea; recently, many historical novels on Qidian have started to involve various avant-garde movements in ancient times!
Does the author even understand the ancient tax system and commodity prices? Taxes per mu ranged from 10 to 30 wen, with rates ranging from 1% to 3% or even lower. Such taxation was a joke; the collected taxes wouldn't even cover administrative costs, let alone development. Modern people like to use the Single Whip Law's tax rates as a basis, completely unaware of the price changes at the time.
I personally quite enjoy reading time-travel novels set in the Ming Dynasty, such as those from the Tianqi, Wanli, Zhengde, Xuande, Yongle, and Hongwu periods. However, most authors have similar (toxic) flaws in their Ming Dynasty time-travel stories! 1: The emperor uses "" (Huangshang) instead of "" (Your Majesty). 2: The empress uses "" (Niangniang) instead of "" (Your Highness).
