Best Picks in Showbiz and Period Fiction (Updated 2026-10-28)
A list of entertainment novels I'm following. If you like this genre, give them a try. I often check the rankings. This genre is relatively easy for new authors to write, but competition is fierce too. I update regularly, so keep an eye on changes to the list's title.
Only Recommending Books I Enjoy (I Read Popcorn Fiction)
(If you find a good book that isn't on my list, please recommend it in the comments. Being short on books is miserable.) I only recommend books I enjoy. I only recommend the ones I'm following, so please keep in mind that the list may be out of date. If I show up as a trainee reader and a book has been here for a long time, that means I stopped reading it. I never care much about prose or plot when I read novels. That's too much effort. If I enjoy it, I'll keep reading; if I don't, I won't, no m

A Collection of Books I Can Get Through, Whatever the Genre
The more I read, the fewer books I can find to read. Books on the Sanjiang and similar charts are too short, while the bestseller lists never seem to change. It’s so frustrating. I hope we can share recommendations and find more books to read.

Nothing too juvenile or mindless. I’m open to any subject or writing style, as long as it brings something fresh. Lately, I haven’t been able to find books that suit my taste, so I haven’t updated this list in ages. I spend more time looking for books than reading them.

I think the author has missed the point. What's the key to readers liking this book? It's that they want to see the protagonist create literary works, each one more classic than the last, each peak higher than the last. The romance and Zhuangzhuang are subplots, and subplots must give way to the main plot.
If you really want to build a harem, you need to think it through carefully. I remember when "Tears Behind Bars" was written; this kind of thing feels a bit outdated.
I don't like this female lead. Everyone likes good looks, but inner qualities are also important. Even if her looks are slightly worse, she surpasses Tao in every other aspect, not to mention that some other actresses are even more beautiful. Choosing an actress as the lead is really a burden. Putting aside intimate scenes and such, it's normal to get emotionally involved in filming, right?
It's described as a historical novel, but it's set in a fictional world. The protagonist's time travel is surprisingly uneventful; he's a speculator, a frivolous hoodlum, and it's truly absurd that he hasn't been beaten up or arrested.

Lin Weimin (1960)
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a single female lead, and Tao was chosen. If it's about a single female lead, Wang Anyi is a good example; she also devoted a lot of attention to her character in the beginning. Why choose someone from the entertainment industry if you're not going to have a harem?
This is a literary and entertainment novel worth sharing and recommending.
I've been reading novels for over twenty years, and I've never finished reading a single novel entirely on Qidian. I usually only read half before switching to a pirated version. After all, with a monthly salary of 3,000-4,000 yuan, I couldn't bear to spend 200 yuan to finish a novel in a few days. But this one was just so good; I really loved it, so the money wasn't too bad.
The author would be better off writing a story about a single woman, as it would better fit the historical context of that era. Divorce was practically nonexistent then; it was considered a disgrace. If you wanted to have a harem, countless families would come to your house to cause trouble.
The title could be changed to "Transmigrating Just to Find a Father." In this life, his name is Lin Weimin. He has no father and lacks paternal love. Fortunately, heaven took pity on him and he met Shi Tiesheng—and now he has a father! It's like he's suddenly lost his mind; inexplicably, upon meeting Shi Tiesheng, he immediately kneels down and starts licking his boots. So despicable. I persevered and read twenty-eight chapters; it's too toxic.
