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.

Good books I've read or am currently reading.
Liu Yifei, Xixi, the Celestial Beauty, An Feng [Only One Heroine]
Only collecting stories with one female lead, where she's as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Some of these are old enough that I've forgotten the details, but they're all worth reading. These are all books I was able to keep following. This is just my personal taste, so please don't flame me. Rating system: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good, worth a read ⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading when you're out of books ⭐⭐ Fine if you don't think too hard, just read for fun ⭐ Gross, frustrating, or impossible
Books I've Read and Enjoyed
Some are complete, some have botched endings, and some were abandoned, but as long as they're enjoyable, that's what matters.

Urban Fiction Without Fantasy: A Female Reader's List of Male-Oriented Novels Featuring Dreamboat Leads
Mostly urban male-oriented fiction. I don't like Eastern or Western fantasy, or xianxia. The protagonists have a golden finger. This is a book list from a 20-year veteran reader, a female reader's list of male-oriented fiction 😁, and also a kind of reading journal! No greasy male leads! No simping male leads! No lustful male leads! (The protagonist doesn't have to be devoted to one woman, but he won't be swayed or manipulated by beauty 😂) No overpowered, arrogant male leads!

Read it, not reading it anymore.
Chinese Entertainment: Liu Qianqian, An Feng, Liu Yifei
Ongoing books with celestial beauties as the heroines, mainly in Chinese entertainment. Lao Liu seems to have found his stride over the past couple of years, and it brought back some memories for me.
Lao Liu Specialist
If you like entertainment novels with a single female lead and Lao Liu, give these a look. No guarantees.

🔥🔥 A Veteran Reader's Must-Read Picks: Top Entertainment Fiction 🔥 Chinese Entertainment 🔥
Showbiz novels make up a major part of the urban genre, and Chinese entertainment-industry stories account for a particularly large share. However, many showbiz novels have issues such as multiple female leads. That can make the plot harder to follow and detract from the reading experience. In some, the female lead is little more than a plot device, and poorly written characters can spoil the story too. So here are a few excellent novels with a single, well-developed female lead. Come give them
Huntun's Urban and Sci-Fi Recommendations
Made especially for readers who enjoy urban and science fiction stories
[Powerful, Mind-Blowing Great Books]
A good book needs great ideas, writing, and originality. None can be missing. The impact a book leaves is rated from one to ten hot dogs. The more hot dogs, the more powerful the impact.

Having seen so many protagonists who become directors or start their own companies, I feel that being a pure actor also has its limitations. Even the most popular and talented actors can't withstand the pressure of capital! Directors, on the other hand, can win awards, start companies, and organize events; their influence allows them to establish their own independent ventures.
The lead actor is 1.8 Meters tall and weighs over 200 pounds, which is clearly overweight. How can he be cast as a refined and elegant young nobleman? Doesn't that seem out of place? With his height and weight, he's only suitable for playing burly giants like Lu Zhishen, or legendary warriors like Xiang Yu, Lü Bu, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Cunxiao. A height of 1.8 Meters or less, unless the weight is controlled to around 150 pounds, is unsuitable for playing a refined and elegant young nobleman.
Sissi
The main characters may change, but the Five Animal Frolics remain constant.
Happy birthday to Sisi on August 25th!
Everyone's writing about Yifei now, supposedly because they're unlikely to be sued and it's very safe. That's interesting; it'll immediately become clear who writes well and who doesn't.
I came for the celestial beauty, but left poisoned. The bard's upgrade system is actually an actor's singing system. I originally wanted to persevere for a few more chapters because of the celestial beauty, but the first ten chapters are all about interactions with unknown nobodys. Who would read an entertainment novel written like this?
Entertainment novels are always so silly, but the protagonists you write aren't exactly goofy either, are they? Why don't you try writing rural fiction?
