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.
Curing a Reading Slump
0. Running out of books to read is really painful. I hope I can help fellow readers find some relief. 1. This list is updated from time to time. 2. Some books may become less engaging later on, but I added them because they made me fall in love at first sight, so I won't remove them. 3. My tastes are all over the place, so this list isn't limited to any particular genre or set of genres. 4. I hope there will always be novels I can enjoy wholeheartedly. 5. No female-oriented fiction or romance. 6
An Old Reader's Collection, Updated Irregularly
I've been reading web novels for over a decade. The first one I read was Kunlun, in a wuxia magazine. This list recommends novels of all genres, with short reviews.
A Veteran Reader's Picks
Finding books these days is like panning for gold in a pile of crap. I'm making this list to collect books I personally find readable, as a rough first cut. They might not be exactly to your taste, but at least they aren't crap.

Tested it out, my fellow herbal brothers!
The initial setup was a bit long, with the movie and the framework taking up 60+ chapters. I abandoned the story twice in the middle, and later, when I had nothing else to read, I reluctantly read the free chapters. I didn't expect the plot to get so imaginative as it went on. It's more ingenious than most novels about Chinese entertainment. No other author has ever managed to cram so many small movies into a universe and adapt it in a logically consistent way.
Latest compilation in 2025: I spent more than a month researching information on over 1,000 female celebrities and came up with the following comprehensive list of female celebrities. Celebrities are categorized into first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier based on their age group. See if any of your favorite female celebrities are on the list. 👤🆔@Reader
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.
The first film in the short story
I feel that the adaptation of the first script is quite good. First of all, the author made reasonable local adaptations, which is much more thoughtful than many novels that directly copy movie scripts. Secondly, the author cleverly planted two Easter eggs in "Buried Alive".
Jing Tian playing the female lead in Gravity? I'm afraid it won't be a bad movie, right?
Jing Tian's performance in a female-centric drama like Gravity is almost a one-woman show, and the character is also full of growth and dramatic tension. This is not to belittle Jing Tian. I doubt she could even play a typical female lead well; is her acting ability up to par?
Poison testing
I've only read up to chapter 98. The plot was great before, but it's labeled as a single female lead, yet she sleeps with other women halfway through... I'm having a reading slump, it's so hard for female readers... Author, labeling it as a single female lead is fraud!
"My Love from the Star" was produced too hastily.
I'm not trying to mock her, but Liu Yifei's acting is so awkward it's almost laughable; she simply can't pull off that kind of contrast. 😅
A list of beautiful and voluptuous female celebrities in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry! 1970~1979 Lin Chih-ling (1974), Li Xiaoran (1976), Zuo Xiaoqing (1977) [Dong Xuan, Qin Lan, Chen Qiaoen] 1979 1980~1984 [Ady An, Liu Yan, Huo Siyan] 1980 Yang Rong, Zhang Meng, and Li Xiaolu (born in 1981) [Wang Zhi, Zhou Weitong] 1982 [Jiang Xin, Li Yixiao] 1983 1985~1989 Li Yufen 1985
I have to complain about how the entertainment industry seems to exaggerate the stories of public intellectuals.
Back then, public intellectuals didn't have that much influence. They were at most a large, niche circle. The only truly influential and famous public intellectual was Gao Xiaosong (矮大紧), who was considered the pinnacle of public intellectual circles. But even Gao Xiaosong's influence was limited; how could he compare to mainstream entertainment stars?
Whenever Liu Yifei is mentioned, people blame her mother for squandering a great opportunity. The problem is, it was her mother who found her that opportunity. While her decisions weren't perfect, were the resources she secured really that bad? Her subsequent failures are entirely due to Liu Yifei's lack of ability; she's unworthy of the resources her mother provided.
