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.
Talent and Passion in Equal Measure
A writer’s depth determines the dramatic tension of a story and how vivid its characters feel. The passion an author puts in determines a work’s soul. This list doesn’t include formulaic, hollow, and tedious works.
Urban Fiction, Chinese Showbiz, Hong Kong Crime
Mainly urban novels, but I'll also include good books from other genres, both completed and ongoing. There's sure to be something here that interests you.
Completed Books I’ve Bought in Full
This list is just a record of the completed books I’ve bought in full. I keep only one book per author. Book recommendations and discussion are welcome.

A Hodgepodge of Good Books: Personal Favorites
No fixed genre, and my tastes are hard to pin down.

When You’re Hungry, Don’t Call Mom
We eat to live, and read for pleasure. A few bites of food that go down easily, a few chapters of a novel that catch the eye: such is the ordinary rhythm of life. But ordinary doesn't mean dull. Life is about experience and reflection. The wonderful journeys and brilliant ideas are all there in books. Fame and fortune are nothing but dust; the joys and sorrows of life fill a thousand volumes. A good book is food for the soul. Are you hungry?

From the moment I saw the cast list, I knew I had met my true love.

This book was alright at first, but now I don't know why I'm getting a bit tired of it. Bai Qing, Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Hong, Wang Zuxian, Sophie Marceau, Faye Wong... You're just a bulldozer. It's getting tedious; the main plot doesn't fade, but the side stories keep popping up.

It's truly rare to see someone even trying to wash Jia's clothes.
Reflect on it
I just read the comments, and I'm not in a good mood. They criticized it as being poorly written, and I agree. It's so different from my original idea. I feel quite sad, like I raised my child to be a perverted man. It's written in a very vulgar way. Family, I'm going to tone it down a bit now, so please stop urging me to push the female characters forward.
If possible, I suggest removing Gong Li and Ma Xiaoqian. There are plenty of good-looking ones. Yin Tao, Zuo Xiaoqing, Liu Yan, Zhang Zilin, and many more. There are too many to list.
