A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along.

Books That Captivated Me Over the Years
Books I love deserve to be remembered! I'm collecting all the books I enjoy reading here, and sharing my most sincere thoughts about them.

I've forgotten so many books. Whenever one comes back to me, I'll add it to a list. I'll just take things as they come.

Different novels appeal to different audiences, so popularity is hard to measure precisely. The number of visits on the Readers’ Rankings is one of the clearest indicators. For that reason, this list only includes novels with over ten million visits on the Readers’ Rankings. When the number of visits is high, it is affected by both saves and actual fans.

(Pictures from Huan Yu Tang) "Looking to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp outlines, and slender figure, like an eagle trying to spread its wings in the dark night."
Created by Guangyin Fans - Huang Yan is born
Damn it! I'm so angry, you little kid, you dare to snatch my things... I'm so angry, I'm so angry... It seems you think I'm easy to bully if I don't teach you a lesson... As she said that, she stretched out her hand to grab the boy opposite. At this time, Huang Yan, who was opposite him, had already absorbed it. He opened his eyes and saw two little hands grabbing him, so he stretched out his hand to stop me, and said with his mind, "Don't make trouble, little sister, I will save it for you later!" Damn it, who are you talking about? This emperor is my sister, you know? You little brat is my brother! The little girl's name is Yu Zixuan. She is originally a super strong person on the central continent of the Bank Star Ring - the Blue Star Continent. She practices forbidden arts and the Three Immortals Return to the Cave. She has two clones who are top-notch in cultivation and have a sense of self-independence. The three of them understand each other and work together tacitly. At the critical moment, the three immortals return to the Cave and merge into one. Their cultivation level increases so much that no one in the entire continent dares to easily provoke... Until one day, an accident happened... The supreme Taoist law "Neutron Qi" on the Neutron Continent suddenly appeared in the Blue Star Continent, which eventually attracted the powerful people from all sides of the Blue Star Continent to snatch it. In the end, Empress Zixuan, with the cooperation of two clones, finally snatched the "Neutron Qi" at the cost of one clone's dissipation and death, and then she immediately began to practice in seclusion... Although other strong men were also seriously injured and went home to retreat to heal their wounds, they were still unwilling to give in. So under the organization of the Demon Emperor, they finally reached an agreement and prepared to cooperate to get rid of Emperor Zixuan. After that, they jointly comprehend the supreme Taoist law "Neutron Qi"... At the same time, Zixuan gained a little bit of knowledge in practice, and combined with her own skill "Three Immortals Return to the Cave", she deduced the method of three immortals transforming into one Qi. With the combined power of three immortals, one Qi can be cultivated. At this time, all the top masters from Blue Star Continent have come to ask Emperor Zixuan to hand over the skills for everyone to share, but the skills are already early. Already fused with his thoughts, handing over his skills would mean making all his secrets public. Of course Emperor Zixuan would not agree, but the skills had not yet been completed. With a group of people joining forces, Emperor Zixuan was no match for him. After a fight, Emperor Zixuan was defeated. In desperation, Emperor Zixuan used "Three Immortals Return to the Cave" The method of activating "Neutron Qi" saw Zixuan's three bodies united into one, her whole body was bright, and a chaotic aura reached her eyebrows. The world was in vain, and strange phenomena appeared in chaos. The sky and the earth were spinning, thunder and lightning were coming, the wind was raging, and Tao fire was born by itself. , The faces of the strong men from all sides changed wildly, knowing that they must not let her continue, otherwise no one would survive today, so they each used their own special skills to attack Zixuan in the center... However, before all the attacks came close to Zixuan, they disappeared silently not far from Qi Zhou... At the same time, a ring-shaped air wave violently spread out from Zixuan... Everyone was shocked at first, and then their hearts skipped a beat, their pupils shrank, and they saw everyone retreating at the same time, turning around desperately to escape, and life-saving magic weapons came out... The halo air wave pushed through, the surrounding area was extinguished, everything disappeared without a trace, and everyone's magic weapons and magical powers disappeared after only a slight obstruction! Even the body and soul were destroyed... At this time, the aura in Emperor Zixuan's body was pouring towards the Qi between his eyebrows. Emperor Zixuan could no longer control his body. With the influx of Qi, the Qi became stronger and stronger, and Zixuan became more and more painful. She thought to herself, I have been practicing for thousands of years, but I am going to die here today... Gradually, Zixuan's consciousness slowly fell silent. Suddenly, the Qi between her eyebrows suddenly expanded and swallowed Zixuan whole, then shrank and disappeared directly... When Zixuan regained consciousness, she found that she had turned into a fetus and was in the belly of a woman. The most important thing was that she was not the only one in the belly, but there was another person. Later, through communication, she found out that the boy's name was Huang Yan, who was said to be from "Beyond Time", but he did not know the specific situation... The strange thing is that the two of them were able to practice in their mother's womb, and the woman would take supplements every day and send a large amount of cultivation resources. Every day there were at least four bowls of fairy dew and wine, eighteen fairy eggs, two fairy beast meats, and two fairy marrows. The cultivation resources were extremely rich, and these happened to be the cultivation resources that the two of them desperately needed, so they snatched them up in the mother's womb... What surprised Zixuan was that she had such qualifications before, but now she really couldn't defeat Huang Yan, and as their cultivation level improved, the cultivation resources could no longer support the two of them, so she became more and more irritable, leading to the scene at the beginning...

Huang Yan, a fan creation outside of time - You are a good person
The raging floods, mixed with broken branches and stones, rushed down from the three valleys and rushed into the already turbulent river. The rumbling sound while lapping the shore also shocked the hearts of the people! The sounds of people being evacuated were organized on the road, cries, calls for help, and the sound of rain. Various sounds were mixed together. The scene was chaotic yet orderly. A group of people wearing raincoats came into view. A closer look revealed that they were forming a human wall and struggling to stand in the heavy rain. They raised their hands above their heads to pull up the canvas, holding up the sky in the rain with human power. Under the canvas, only a few people in white clothes were busy, and a pregnant woman was lying on a rock and shouting with all her strength... Time passed by minute by second! Everyone is an anxious and determined guardian. The rainstorm is getting fiercer and the wind is getting tighter. Water is leaking from a newly plugged connection. Two bowl-sized gaps are spraying mud-like yellow water. The yellow water didn't stick to it, rising up for a while, and then drilling down, like a sharp blade piercing and slashing, tearing cracks in the mud, and the clods of soil fell down! At this moment, suddenly a sound of wow... Came out! I saw that the pregnant woman gave birth smoothly and the child was born safely! Everything went smoothly and the transfer was successful! Because his father's surname was Huang, and he was born smoothly on a big rock on the slope, he was named Huangyan! It's just strange that Huang Yan has been in poor health since he was a child, and he gets fat easily, and he can't control it no matter what! Simply don't affect your life! Time flies in the blink of an eye! Huang Yan, who was born in an ordinary family, has grown up! Excellent results! On the school lawn that day, Huang Yan, who was reading a book, heard a burst of laughter in his ears! He looked up and saw two girls walking opposite! One was tall and the other was petite and cute. Huang Yan was stunned. He stared at one of them and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his face turned red. Yes, his heart was beating! One of the girls came over and said, Huang Yan, why are you staring at us like this! This... From then on, Huang Yan began his pursuit! Huang Tian pays off! It didn't take long for the girl to agree to date! In the past three years, this city has left too many traces of them! They eat from the same bucket of instant noodles and live in the same house! They like and respect each other! As time went by, they slowly started talking about marriage! On this day, they officially completed their engagement and will soon enter the palace of marriage! We truly become a family to each other! It's a pity that things don't go as planned. Suddenly one day Qingqing and Huang Yan said - let's break up! The whole sky of Huangyan collapsed! He thought about all the recent events and Qingqing's abnormality! Thinking of so many wonderful years! He said: OK! On the other side, Qingqing burst into tears, and she said softly: Huang Yan, you are a good person! You must live well! You are a good person, I will save you...
Time capsule
◈The hazy sky is gray and black, showing a heavy depression, as if someone spilled ink on the rice paper, the ink soaked into the sky and blurred out the clouds. ◈Instead of worrying about future alienation, it is better to worry about whether you will still be alive tomorrow. ◈The bright red morning glow on the horizon shines down from the gaps in the clouds, like countless whales spewing golden waterfalls, washing away the haze and fog in the city bit by bit, revealing the mottled scars. ◈"Child, are you willing to leave here with me?" ◈You asked about the return date, but there was no date. The mist hides the lingering feelings, and the smoke sings far away. ◈ "Do you also have a yin and yang, the person you want to see... If so, Don't learn from me, don't wait here..." "If you see it, it will be in vain after all..." ◈Having someone who cannot be forgotten in your heart is a kind of pain, but being remembered in your heart is a kind of happiness. ◈Scavengers don't need tombstones. ◈No matter how noble a place you come from, no matter how clean you are, in this human world, you still have to mix with the mud and blend in, regardless of each other. ◈"Heaven and earth are the guest houses of all living beings, and time is the passerby from the past to the present. As long as we don't die, we will meet each other eventually. I hope that the day I see you again, you will have become a great person." ◈"Actually, death is not terrible. The scary thing is that before dying, there is no one familiar in front of him..." ◈Fate gave him a trace of warmth, but now it is ruthlessly taken away by the world. This is the helplessness of the world, but Xu Qing has to continue on this road of life. ◈Evil is locked in everyone's heart, but troubled times make it easy for this lock to be opened. ◈From dark to dawn, it is just a moment for the sky, and it is the same for people . Like life and death. ◈ "There is strange music in the whole sea, which mortals cannot hear. They are accompanied by the red sun and golden crows, and a hundred notes are made into music, calling the sounds of nature to welcome the moon." "The gods are happy with it, and they close their eyes and look at it. The whole sea is forbidden, and the hundreds of notes are yin." ◈ It seems that there is a woman wearing a raincoat, holding a long sword, walking from the rivers and lakes, recounting her youth and past events. There was also a hint of regret. ◈No one needs to appreciate her blooming season, no one needs to witness her youth. She blooms only for herself, and only for the persistence and expectation of her heart. ◈Although the world is painful, we must still have hope. ◈Unburned torches are collectively called , those placed on the ground are called , and the fire used to hold them is called a candle! The word "Zhu" not only means fire, but also contains the meaning of control. When combined with the word "Zhao", the feeling of light arises spontaneously, so... It is called "Zhuzhao"! ◈No matter how long the night is, day will always come. But today, it seems that the night and the cold are extra long... ◈ "I want too much, so I am even crazier. Junior brother, in this life, we will walk together!" ◈"I, You Lingzi, am also a qualified person!" "Xu Demon and I, You Lingzi, are also people with opportunities!" "Xu Laomo, I, You Lingzi, was not born to be a slave!" "How come... It's like this." ◈Kill the fate of the people and shine the light of heaven and earth! Fang Wei... The one who holds the sword! ◈Use your own wings to protect the human race, and you are more willing to become the wings of the human race and fly for the rise of the race! ◈Sword holders are comrades who can turn their backs to each other! ◈ "If you want to change the state of a medicinal herb, you don't need to make drastic changes, nor do you need to adjust the yin and yang after picking to reconcile the external transformation. In my opinion, what is needed is to moisturize the thing quietly." "Unknowingly, you change the environment it lives in, change the nutrients it needs, and let it slowly and slowly become unaware of it. To absorb it and influence it from the inside. " "To be precise, it is not me who changes its state, but its own power. All I do is create an environment and nutrients that guide its direction." ◈When you think you have discovered everything, there is actually more waiting for you. ◈The emperor ascends to heaven and shines upon the earth, Gathering the spirits of the past, he rejoices his ancestors during the four calamities. Luxury is better than corpse calamity, and the present is lost to the past. Aluo's misfortune is a thin road. Bismujie, doing Mumu aside. During the Tuojiayin kalpa, the hidden Dharma tools withered. The sacrificial tribulation is completed, and the sky opens to a thin line. Looking to the ancient way of heaven, Fu Wei is happy! ◈In the eyes of gods, the life of every living being is an extremely clear picture album. When He sees you, your past and future, the countless pictures formed by all of them, all overlap, blend with each other, and change each other. Every action, even taking an extra step when moving forward, moving a little faster, or pausing, can affect the future, become variables, and produce different branches. Therefore, the pictures of the future are countless and changing. They converge into a vast river and overlap into a picture album of life. ◈Linger is not afraid, I will take you home. ◈ "Invading all tribes, regardless of whether they are casual cultivators or not, as well as the big tribes behind you, Sun, with the sword holders around him, is waiting for the arrival of your entire tribe in hell and underworld!" "The sword holder protects the human race, so why not die!" ◈On this dusk, there was no red cloud, and the sky was sallow, like an old man who was dying, struggling to linger in the world, unwilling to disappear. ◈War is like the millstone of heaven and earth. When they grind against each other, all living beings, including them, cannot escape the destruction. ◈Anyone holding a sword, from the emperor to below, can be killed! ◈"Little Ah Qing, if you and the master are both martyred, I will accompany you." ◈"The moonlight is slightly warm, flowing through yesterday's ivy fence, the rain has not dried, and the love has broken and then continued into a candle... "I don't say that I will always be with you in the next life, I just say that reunion is fate. " "I have no regrets in this life. I hope the flowers will bloom and stay by your side. I will look back and smile in the reincarnation, even if tens of millions of years have passed..." ◈Dance for the emperor, those who are good will be rewarded, and those who are bad will die! ◈The gods have dreams, and they will dance as sacrifices. Evil, one thought can destroy everything. ◈ "We monks have to carry everything with our lives. We don't believe in heaven, we don't obey fate, nothing can stop us, living beings can't bury our hearts, and gods can't let us bend down! " ◈That is another instinct, the pursuit of the evolution of life. It is also a farewell and reluctance to the past. It is a black hole formed by the imperfection due to the incomplete disappearance of humanity after the loss of humanity and the integration of divinity. ◈What limits the strength of supernatural powers is imagination. ◈Existence means traces. ◈Wind, no Do you know whether there is an age? If not, how can it record the traces of the existence of all things in the years? There are too few people who can answer this question. Perhaps the age of the wind is determined by the stories it has witnessed. " "The law of heaven turns into the blade of the sword, the poison cursed by the gods turns into the blade, and the sword glows in the shape of the morning glow! " "The golden crow is the connection, and the purple moon is the seal! " "Accommodate it with time..." "Drive it with the sundial lamp..." "At noon on the sundial, the sky and the earth will be cut together! " ◈I am sober when everyone is drunk, or I am drunk when everyone is awake, which one... Is more sad? ◈"My lord of the new moon, look back to the past to guide all the suffering beings, and enjoy the land of happiness. " "If you sacrifice your body to my Lord, this life will not be bitter. It will be a curtain day and night, and the marrow of your body will not rot. " "My lord, the new moon, was born in ancient times. All living beings respect his purple lord. " "My soul is dedicated to my Lord, I have care for the other side, and I will play the music again in the next life. "
Fan - "Sister" by Xu Qing who traveled through time
"The weather is really weird! It was 35 degrees yesterday, and suddenly it's 7 degrees today." I saw an old man in the village elderly service center holding a bowl and saying! At this time, I saw another uncle puffing up his powder and replying with a satisfied look on his face, "Uncle Wang, you haven't logged in for the past two days! There is a video saying that there is a recurring typhoon next door, a hurricane is raging on the opposite side, and there is dust in the sky in the distance, what kind of volcano🌋, tsunami , various disasters occur frequently, and some people say that the end of the world may be coming, but there is a powerful person who predicts that there will be a savior who will usher in a revival of spiritual energy after surviving! " "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard that it is like this! "Have you not heard that a princess was born in the Qian family? Nine stars appeared in the sky, and nine cloud lanterns appeared in the sky. Everyone said that the daughter of the Qian family might be extraordinary." When the scene turned, I saw the cheerful voice of a girl coming from a large villa! I just heard Mr. Qian say, "Look, Duoduo and sister Xu Qing get along really well!" A woman next to me said, "Yes, I am satisfied with my dad watching his brother and sister grow up carefree." The woman was the daughter-in-law of the Qian family named Xu Qian. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son was named Qian Duoduo after her husband's surname, and the younger daughter was named Xu Qing after her surname! Others also echoed yes, as long as the children grow up happy and healthy! … A few years later... "Wow, brother, the north is so fun, especially on snowy days!" "Sister Xu Qing said, today my aunt takes us out to play and I want to visit the entire snack street!" Look at that... Haha, this is really fun... "Aunt, aunt, I want to eat skewers." Xu Qing said. "Okay! Okay!" After ordering, the dishes came one after another! Xu Qing picked up a skewer of meat and bit it horizontally. However, he was not strong enough and could not pull out the iron stick. Duoduo next to him watched and laughed non-stop! Xu Qing looked at her aunt for help, and saw her aunt smiling slightly, holding the top of Xu Qing's head with one hand, grabbing Xu Qing's little hand with the other, and slowly pulled out the iron sign sideways! Xu Qing immediately started eating happily! (This is the tradition of Lu Chuan, which has always been a beautiful scenery in the Lu Chuan world) After eating and drinking, Xu Qing has been shopping in Bingcheng for a long time. Suddenly Xu Qing was attracted by a statue. She saw that she was gradually attracted after looking at the statue, as if she was trapped in some kind of memory. Slowly, her eyes became dull, and she felt as if her soul had disappeared! At this time, the aunt and Duoduo noticed something unusual and yelled desperately from the side, "Xu Qing, sister Xu Qing, sister Xu Qing, Xu Qing, what's wrong with you! Xu Qing..." Suddenly Xu Qing, Xu Qing's call came to her consciousness, and she felt unusually familiar... Just when Xu Qing was about to investigate carefully, a sudden change occurred... —— —— —— —— —— —— —— Predict what will happen next, and make up your own mind!

If we can live together with the rain and snow today, is it considered that we have grown old together?
"We will grow old together, right?" The boy at the table looked up and looked at the girl on the swing. He smiled and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I will, as long as I don't die." The morning light penetrated into the clouds, and the stars sprinkled on this small courtyard. The boys and girls in the courtyard looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of love that could not be concealed. The girl is not so charming, but she is better than Xiaojiabiyu, gentle and pleasant; The boy is not so handsome, but he also has a little bit of talent in practice. They are childhood sweethearts who are already engaged. The boy put down the bamboo slips in his hand, walked behind the girl, and pushed the swing for her. Looking at the slowly swinging swing, the smile on his face became brighter and he said softly: "Taohong... When this year is over, I will go to your house to propose marriage." The girl turned her head in surprise, her face was slightly red, but she was not too shy. Marrying a young man was her vision that she had made public a long time ago. He pointed to the bamboo slips on the table, "The city lord appreciated me and gave me the practice method. When I break through to the next level, I can serve as his personal guard. At that time, we can form a small family of our own." The girl did not speak, but nodded, her eyes full of happiness. Time passes by slowly, and it's the end of the year in a blink of an eye. In this piece of purple land where everyone is precarious, it is self-evident how important a city that can barely provide a place for people to live and settle down is. Scavengers from all directions, some disciples of small sects, talented people who have gone out to practice, and some people from dark corners... Everyone began to pour into the city. Only at this time will people know that in this end land where the gods are watching, there are still so many people persisting in survival and fighting against disasters. As the motorcades coming and going entered the city, the young man who was the bodyguard of the City Lord's Mansion also became busy. He left early and came back late every day, and even lived in the City Lord's Mansion. There are many motorcades coming and going, and their styles are also different. They may be resplendent and wealthy children, or mysterious people dressed in black, or a group of tattered scavengers... They all have various problems, such as where to live, what are the taboos in the city, and whether there are talented men and women... It is very hard to deal with all kinds of people every day, but the young man enjoys it because he knows that he is fighting for his future. Occasionally when I go home and see the warm rice porridge on the table, or the crisp yellow room under the light of the lamp, the young man will feel a sense of happiness welling up in his heart. This is his spiritual sustenance in this bad world. The city lord gradually became fond of this young man who had sunshine in his heart and was willing to endure hardships. He called his men to give the young man a bag of spirit coins and a message. He said that the boy should be given a day off to spend time with his family. The young man took the money with great surprise and ran to the trading place in the city. He has long been interested in something. He originally thought of waiting until the subsidy was paid before buying it, but now he can give it to his sweetheart in advance. Those are a pair of red boots with exquisite workmanship. If they could be worn on a girl's feet, they would definitely be very moving. With excitement, the young man rushed to the seller and bought it without any counter-offer. With the gift in his arms, he rushed to his small home. That day, it was already dusk, and the setting sun was like blood. The young man's treasured shoes fell to the ground, stained with blood and mud. He looked at everything in front of him with splitting eyes. It was a group of masked men in black. They were holding knives, and uncoagulated blood was dripping from the blood trough. The girl who was engaged to him was lying on the ground unconscious, with a six-pointed star printed on her forehead, shining brightly. The old men from the two families were lying in a pool of blood, with a trace of confusion on their faces, as if they had not figured out who this group of people suddenly rushed into their home. The young man felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead. The world in front of him was bright red, and his sanity was gradually being swallowed up. He forgot what happened. He only knew that he seemed to have killed all the enemies he saw, except... The young man raised his head with difficulty and met a pair of high eyes. The man in brocade robes with a sinister smile looked at him with ridicule. "It is your honor to choose that little girl as the treasurer. You must know that if it were in the past, this kind of woman who is neither a child nor a practitioner would only be worthy of..." The young man did not listen to what he said behind him. He gritted his teeth, and the alienation point on his body suddenly shattered. He jumped up, used his arm as a knife, and stabbed into the belly of the brocade-robed man. A strange force burst out from his palm and merged with the man in brocade robe. He grinned. At this moment, his teeth were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his smile was extremely oozing. "Then, let's die together!" The man's expression changed, and a talisman appeared in his hand. He crushed the talisman and his body became illusory. The young man stretched out his hand, but found that he could not touch the man. The man glanced at the young man with jealousy. A ray of light from his hand went straight into the body of the girl who was still unconscious on the ground, and then the whole body suddenly disappeared. A streak of blood burst out from the unconscious girl, and her complexion declined visibly to the naked eye. The young man's expression changed drastically. He dragged his seriously injured body and rushed to the girl's side, meeting the newly opened eyes. "Taohong!" "Mom and Dad..." The girl just spoke weakly, then thought of something else, and quickly pushed the boy, "Quickly... Let's go!" The boy laughed sadly, "Taohong, it's gone, we have nothing." Taohong struggled to look around, and she lay in the boy's arms again. A gentle breeze blew across the sky, rolling clouds covering the setting sun. There was a roar and thunder streaked across the night sky. It's snowing. The girl was silent for a long time and opened her mouth. Her voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost blown away by the not-so-big wind and snow. "I have a lot to say." The young man gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and nodded fiercely. The snowflakes fell on his face, melted by the hot tears, and mixed together and flowed down his cheeks. The girl kept talking. "I like you very much. "I have thought about our future many, many times. "I have prepared my dowry many years ago. "I asked my husband to select several auspicious days for wedding. "I want to grow old together with you. "But now it seems there is no chance. " The look on the girl's face suddenly became a little better. She staggered to the door of the courtyard, picked up the pair of boots that were already a little bit damaged after the battle, and took off her embroidered shoes regardless of the dirt on the ground. She put on the pair of boots that became brighter red against the background of the blood, walked to the boy, and showed them to him. "Is this the gift you bought me? Very nice. " The young man opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound. He just shed tears and nodded. The girl seemed to feel a little tired. She sat down, leaned on the young man's shoulder, and gently put her hands on the young man's head. His hair and eyebrows had accumulated a thick layer of snowflakes. "Tell me, if the two of us are like this, it can be considered a happy ending. " The girl's hand dropped.
