Novels for New Readers
I recommend new authors' books with sound values and reasonable logic. If you like ruthless, decisive protagonists, don't click in, or we might end up arguing over our clashing values. Most importantly, you'll lose the argument.
An Zhi Su Nian and Xi Nian
I once traveled here with a host of companions, recalling the many eventful years of the past. We were young students, in our prime, full of youthful spirit and bold ambition. We criticized the world and wrote with passion, treating the mighty of that day as nothing. Do you remember how we swam in the river's current, so that the waves held back the speeding boats?
The 2D Xuesen
The waves delight in miles of snow; the peach blossoms, without a word, form a springtime row. A jug of wine, a fishing pole: how many can be as carefree as I?
Hard to Find a Home
I shield my face from the sun with my sleeve, Too weary with spring's cares to dress. Priceless treasures are easy to find; A man with a true heart is rare. On the pillow, hidden tears fall; Among the flowers, sorrow breaks my heart. Since I can behold Song Yu myself, Why should I resent Wang Chang?
A Small List of Books That Made a Good Impression
If a name is not proper, the words will not ring true; if the words do not ring true, nothing will get done.
Always on the Hunt for Hidden Gems
Are you a Fang? Run out of books to read and don't know what to pick? Faced with a mountain of novels, you can't tell which ones are any good. That's when you need someone to point out the ones with high ratings and strong reader retention, and tell you which titles are similar to one another. You'll find all of that in my circle. Use it to find your next read. I started this list to recommend good books to everyone.
The Wilderness Is Vast, the Land Is Firm
Alone, I climb the western tower in silence. The moon is like a hook. In the lonely courtyard, parasol trees lock autumn away. I cannot sever it, and my thoughts are in turmoil: this is the sorrow of parting. It is a feeling unlike any other, lingering in my heart.
Lost Between the Fingers
The green mallow in the garden waits for the morning dew to dry in the sun. Spring spreads its blessings, and all things shine with life. I always fear the arrival of autumn, when yellow leaves and blossoms wither. Rivers flow east to the sea. When will they ever return west?
Moonlight Over the Azure Underworld
The autumn breeze is crisp, the autumn moon bright. Fallen leaves gather, then scatter; startled crows roost in the cold night.
Promising New Books
Little seedlings need your care.
A Chi's Reading List
There are tons of great books here, so don't miss out as you pass by. There are lots of reading lists, but this one is sure to catch your eye.
Wildly Imaginative, Beautifully Written!
Isn't it hard to find a reading list you'll love? Well, you've found one. We've been on this journey for years, and there are always a few books we can't forget. I've collected them here, on this list and on my bookshelf.
Books I’ve Read and Really Thought About
In the north lives a beauty, peerless and alone. One glance can topple a city; a second can bring down a kingdom. Is it any wonder that a beauty like her can topple cities and kingdoms? Such a woman is impossible to find again.
Deep Affection Scatters on the Wind
The traveler faces the flying tumbleweed, golden whip pointed toward his iron-gray steed. Fame lies ten thousand miles away; all his thoughts are poured into a single cup. Beyond the northern border, the enemy camps beneath Mount Yanzhi; east of Qin’s capital, Mount Taibai rises. Do not grieve as your spirit departs. Look instead to the glory of your blade!
Shenzhou Canglong's Book Recommendations
Study widely, question carefully, think deeply, discern clearly, and practice earnestly.
A Gentle Melody
The cicadas’ wail is chilling. At dusk, by the long pavilion, a sudden shower has just passed. We drink in our tents outside the capital, but our hearts are not in it. As we linger, the orchid boat urges us to depart. We clasp hands and gaze through tears, choked into silence. I think of the journey ahead: a thousand miles of misty waves, twilight clouds stretching over the vast southern sky.
Excellent Works I've Read
We’re the experts in recommending good books. Every book on my shelf has been carefully chosen. All you have to do now is share your thoughts in the reviews. This list is all about sharing.
Personal Reading List Two
For personal use, part two
All the Good Books Are Here
Lost in books, I hardly noticed spring was nearly gone; every inch of time is worth its weight in gold. No Taoist has come to amuse me. I’m absorbed in the teachings of the Duke of Zhou and Confucius.
Light Shining Through Your Heart
The ancients spared no effort in their studies; they worked hard when young and achieved mastery only in old age. What you learn from books always seems shallow. To truly understand, you must put it into practice.
I'll Spend the Rest of My Life Reading With You
The ancients spared no effort in their studies; they worked hard when young and achieved mastery only in old age. What you learn from books always seems shallow. To truly understand, you must put it into practice.
Carefully Curated Reads
Whenever I read how people of the past were moved by what they saw, it feels as though their thoughts match my own. I can’t help sighing and grieving as I read, unable to put my feelings into words. I know that treating life and death as one is absurd, and that equating a long life with a short one is nonsense. Those who come after us will look upon us just as we look upon those who came before. How sad!
Don't Miss These Good Books
Here are lofty mountains and steep ridges, lush forests and tall bamboo. A clear stream rushes by, reflecting the scenery on either bank. We guide its flow into a winding channel for floating wine cups, and sit along its banks. Though we have no grand ensemble of strings and flutes, a cup of wine and a poem are enough to let us share our deepest feelings.
Quietly Reading Good Books
Foolish people who insist on having their own way, and lowly people who insist on acting on their own authority, go against the ways of the ancients while living in the present. Such people will bring disaster upon themselves.

It's well-written, but I have a small suggestion. I feel the author lacks the life experience to capture the feeling of middle-aged or elderly characters. Don't write about time travel during one's youth; just write about high school or university students.
Author, I can tell you have strong professional knowledge but lack social experience, so could you please stop trying to come up with suspenseful plots? If you're not smart enough, don't write anymore; it's making me uncomfortable to read.
The author's description of the cultivation of Taoism is excellent, with many details. However, the suspense was really poor. It felt like people kept dying before the protagonist gradually understood the situation, with absolutely no sense of investigation or effort to solve the problem. It was all just a feeling that something bad was about to happen, and then something really did happen.
The writing is alright, but the protagonist is just too stupid to call for backup. The protagonist is supposed to be the last disciple inheriting the mantle and lineage of a true master, yet he doesn't call for help? What kind of path does he cultivate? What master does he follow? What lineage does he follow? Pshaw, I'm dropping this. Too much drama and it's frustrating to watch. Just go for it!
I had a bad feeling from the moment the little female thief appeared. Has anyone seen the later episodes? Can you give me a hint on whether the later episodes are watchable?
The protagonist suffers from dementia for most of the time (unable to think of anything or make connections; bombarded by the vast amount of information from the modern world, it's really hard for him to accept—it would have been better if he had been a local from the start and hadn't transmigrated), which contradicts his initial description of intelligence. Aside from this, the story is very readable.
There are so many things that seem off. 😒
This book is a pity. It started brilliantly, but the transition from returning to the mountain to a few years later didn't make a direct shift, resulting in terrible pacing. Furthermore, the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era is a difficult period to write about; it's better to go directly to ancient times or modern times. Very few authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) have written well about this period, and even those that have are frequently bugged (404 errors).
Could the author please clarify if the female thief is the female lead? I don't really like this character; if she is, I'll quit as soon as possible!
The writing style and content are good, but it's too depressing to read.
The protagonist is too young! Why can't he just stay on the mountain and cultivate peacefully? Sending him down the mountain to roam and get beaten up every day because he's not strong enough is just too painful to watch! It would be more reasonable to send some older senior brothers along! Is torturing the protagonist fun? If this continues, I'm not subscribing anymore!
