A Collection of Top-Tier Reads
I’ve been reading for ten years... Quality guaranteed!!! These recommendations are sincere. Every book I add is, in my opinion, one of the best in its time. Fellow readers, feel free to chat with me o(≧v≦)o I have a pretty sound worldview, a strong sense of the rule of law, and a good grasp of modern society, so I won’t read books that are anti-human or inhumane. In other words, I don’t read dark fiction. If that’s your thing, please look elsewhere. I have another flaw: I’m a bit of a neat fre
Echoes of Time
I've discovered that web fiction comes in all shapes and sizes, and it's absolutely delightful.
Urban Fiction

Over 2 Million Characters
Someone left me a message about a reading list I made years ago for books over two million characters long? I couldn’t find it myself, so I took it down. Anyway, since that’s the case, here’s a long-overdue update with my latest bookshelf: books I’ve finished reading.
The Literary Era
Excellent writing, an excellent plot, great immersion, and rave reviews: four kinds of excellence in one story.
An Interesting Reading List
Books I’ve read whose prose, style, and creativity I really enjoy. This list is just my personal taste.
A Reading List Dedicated to Urban Fiction
I mainly recommend urban novels with believable plots. I generally look for smooth pacing and solid writing, and give priority to newer books.
Waterside Moon Pavilion, Listening to the Tide....
At Shuiyue Lodge, by the sea, listening to the tide and opening a door to another world.
After More Than a Decade of Reading, I’m Growing Fonder of Everyday-Life Stories
I'm not so into brainless wish-fulfillment novels anymore. I've gradually come to enjoy slower-paced slice-of-life stories.
Novels with Amazing Plots
Please follow me, and send flowers~~ I have pretty eclectic tastes and have read novels for ages. I’m not picky about genre, just the plot ←_← I like novels with smooth plots, no sudden or nonsensical developments, and regular updates that don’t stop.
Stories That Touch the Heart
Writing isn't about achieving greatness. I just hope to hold back mediocrity... I only recommend works that feel heartfelt to me. Nothing else matters. A book's success doesn't necessarily mean it'll stand the test of time. A truly good book not only helps you pass the time, but also leaves you with insights and a deeper understanding after you finish it. Reading should be a chance to relax and learn. I'm definitely not just going through the motions to promote my own work! Readers and authors
Treasures Gathered from the Sea of Literature
These books are like a ray of light borrowed from time, illuminating the years of my youth.

The Wine-Sword Immortal of Huadu~
Raise a cup and talk of heroes, sword in hand as you roam the world. Drink today while there's wine to drink; tomorrow, worry when tomorrow comes. Live freely and without restraint, spend a fortune, and earn it back again. The mountain had no sorrow, yet snow turned its crown white; the water had no worries, yet the wind ruffled its surface.
An Uncle Recommends Books
A veteran reader of uncle age. I only recommend books I've checked out and liked, and I post at irregular intervals. Serious recommendations from someone who takes reading seriously. I started reading classic literature in fourth grade, wuxia in eighth grade, spent my college years on Longkong, and bought physical books and read Qidian after I started working. I've kept up a daily reading habit for over twenty years since entering the workforce. I've been around the forums and have plenty of rea

Posting Yang Mi's pictures, then going to sleep.
La la la
I just wanted to ask how many people have given up on the book so far. Just checking in.
I've summarized a few patterns in Yang Bu Cao's entertainment writing. Let's discuss whether they're accurate! First: The female lead is 100% Yang Mi. Whether it's the first or second female lead. Second: The male supporting character definitely has a Wang Sicong template. This time, it's a direct template! Third: Every important character is portrayed quite vividly, with flesh and blood!
Xu Xin himself, this should be fine.
I don't understand why you're writing about the Olympics. You get all excited, but no matter how you design it, isn't it still just copied? Why be so pretentious? If it were a movie, and you didn't like it, you could change the plot—that's considered secondary creation, and you could even brag about it.
I support the female lead, Yang Mi. She's been in the industry for so many years and has remained stable. She's not a lawbreaker or a foreigner, and most importantly, she's a smart person.
With Yang Mi winning Best Actress amidst the storm, I would call this Huayi Brothers' number one masterpiece. After the Message, a king got married and wrote 70,000 words, so I won't comment on that. There's also a book with 7 million words that was made into seven or eight movies, that's amazing. From now on, I will definitely not spend a single penny on Lao Gou's books; I'll only read the first hundred or two chapters for free.
The title is wrong; it should be called "Reborn as a Second-Generation Coal Mine Owner: My Romance with Yang Mi".
A list of the number of movies
I did a rough calculation, and from 2006 to 2014 (as described in the book), Xu Xin directed eight films (Secret, The Message, Under the Hawthorn Tree, Love is Not Blind, The Dead End, Wrath of Silence, Perfect Strangers, and John Wick) and two short films (Drunk and Special Transaction). These were films Xu Xin was the primary director of, averaging about one film a year, which is quite prolific.
Keep updates stable, and reduce the amount of Liu Yifei stuff 😥. If I can maintain quality and quantity, I'll slowly build up my Silver Alliance...
