City of Storms
A Life in Seclusion Among the People Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty The great recluse lives in the imperial court or the city; the lesser recluse retreats to the hills and fields. But the hills and fields are too desolate, while the city is too noisy. Better to be a recluse in between, a low-ranking official left behind in the capital. As if departing, yet still present; neither busy nor idle. No need to exhaust heart or strength, yet free from hunger and cold. No official duties all year round,

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.

I want it all!
Reborn and Transmigrated Cultivation Gems!
After the scandal in Chinese entertainment, my rose-colored glasses came off, and entertainment-industry novels are hanging by a thread. I like books by Qisu Mianbao, Jing Keshu, Chang Yu, Qizhe Wangba Kan Shayu (Naonao Bu Ai Nao), and Lushi Canjun. Their plots balance tension and breathing room, and the pacing feels just right. I keep some good books even when I can no longer find them.
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.

Liu Yifei / Yang Mi / Zhao Liying / Liu Shishi / Tang Yan
Worth rereading: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pretty good: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good for getting out of a reading slump: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Other ratings: There may be some dealbreakers, but parts of the character writing are good! Recommended authors who write multiple heroines: Da Jinmao (He likes explaining things, but has written several novels featuring famous actresses born in the 1980s. The most reliable pick.)

I didn't want to spoil the female lead's character, but many friends are very curious, and some are even stirring up trouble, so I'll just give a brief overview. It's not a single female lead; it's hard to say exactly how many, and the format hasn't been decided yet, but Xiao Zhao is confirmed to be one of them.
I spent over twenty days of my free time searching for information on thousands of female celebrities, and compiled the following comprehensive list, categorized by age group and tier (first, second, and third tier). I've tried my best to correct any instances of falsified birth years found among the female celebrities.
Zhao Xiaodao's appearance changes in film and television from age 19 to 34
I enjoyed reading "The Vanished Woman." It would be fun if it were adapted into a film, with Liu Shishi playing the wife, Yang Mi playing the fake wife, and Tang Yan playing the best friend. 🤭
Some thoughts on Liu Yifei
To put it simply, I was born at the end of 2002, and I was probably conscious of watching TV dramas from around age 5. I wasn't a hardcore TV drama fanatic, but I watched quite a few (after all, there wasn't much to do when I was little, so watching dramas was the only option). I didn't specifically look for dramas; I just watched whatever was on air.
You could arrange for Li Jiahang to be the male lead in "The Temptation of Going Home".
Liu Shishi's Cannes red carpet look yesterday 😏😏
Most entertainment novels have a major flaw: the protagonist can remember all the scenes and lines of movies he watched in his previous life, and he can remember the sheet music and lyrics of all the songs he heard. Then the protagonist becomes an actor, singer, or director.
My opinion on the female lead, Zhao.
In short, I really have no feelings for Zhao. The protagonist's rise to power is all thanks to his rebirth; he didn't fight alongside Zhao. Zhao only got ahead because of the male lead. The "wife who shared hardships" thing is ridiculous; it's really awkward.
