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.

I'll leave aside Chen Xiaoxu as the lead actress. I admit that Chen Xiaoxu's Lin Daiyu and Weng Meiling's Huang Rong are classics, but I don't think either of them are particularly beautiful. They're at best average-looking in the entertainment industry.
Don't you guys think Chen Xiaoxu and Chen Peisi are practically siblings?
Writing about Chen Xiaoxu was a mistake. I could tolerate you writing that she and Bi didn't marry in 1991—I'd just consider it a parallel universe. But they dated for a long time even if they weren't married. Who gave you the right to nitpick? Sorry, I can't relate to the Cao Cao story; I'm just an ordinary person.
The author's choice of Chen Xiaoxu as the female lead was a mistake. Readers of entertainment novels typically prioritize beauty for the female lead, and Chen Xiaoxu, if stripped of her Lin Daiyu persona, is only considered above average in looks.
Chen Xiaoxu was even less beautiful than a maid; she wouldn't even rank among the most beautiful characters in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, let alone compare to Chen Hong or He Qing—the difference in appearance was too great.
Xu Xu: 👨🏻 This is my son, Xu Feiyu, nicknamed Arthur.
For female protagonists in Chinese entertainment novels, whether original works or based on real-life celebrities, the basic requirement is that they are beautiful, right? Why did you choose Chen Xiaoxu? What's the point?
Three women who were unstoppable in mainland China and Taiwan during the 1990s.
Those who enjoy harem-style urban romances can't stand having Lin Daiyu as the female lead. Those who prefer historical romances with established careers can't stand your portrayal of a greenwood maiden leading a harem. You're pleasing neither side; this writing style is truly incomprehensible.
The Three Kingdoms story has begun filming, with 300 chapters airing for the first time. Those readers who have persevered have to say, impressive! 👍🏻 I'm worried the second installment might also have 300 chapters, so I'm probably backing out now!
