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.
Good Books to Cure Your Reading Slump
Reading has become an indispensable part of my life. I can’t remember when I started enjoying web novels, or even the title of the first one I read. Time keeps rolling relentlessly forward, so I’m sharing the books I love as gifts for everyone. I hope you’ll enjoy them. And if there are books you like, feel free to recommend them to me, too.
Xiao Kan's Picks: Quality Books
Xiao Niang’s delicate face cannot hold back her tears; Tao Ye’s knitted brows reveal her sorrow. Of the moonlight beneath heaven, two thirds of its charm belongs to Yangzhou.
My Secret Book List
Lotus leaves and silk skirts are cut from the same green; lotus blossoms open on either side of their faces. They blend into the pond and disappear from sight; only their songs reveal that someone is there.
Quality Over Quantity
For a thousand miles, orioles sing amid green and red; by riverside villages and mountain towns, wine flags flutter in the breeze. Four hundred and eighty temples from the Southern Dynasties, their towers lost in mist and rain.
Cherished Like the Moon
I visited Qingquan Temple in Qishui. It stands beside Lanxi, whose waters flow west. Below the mountain, young orchids dip into the stream; the sandy path among the pines is clean and free of mud. In the rustling evening rain, a cuckoo calls.
Collecting Hidden Gems in the Bud
One life, one generation, one pair of lovers: how could we bear to be torn apart and left pining in separate places? We yearn for each other and gaze toward each other, yet cannot be together. For whom does spring come? It is easy to beg for the magic potion at Blue Bridge, but once it is made, it is hard to flee to the Emerald Sea. If we could meet at the Ford of the Cowherd, we would sit together and forget our poverty.

A Good Person's Reading List
The tung blossoms scent the air beneath a half-bright moon; I row home to the sound of cicadas singing. Around each bend, willows frame low thatched cottages, with fishnets hanging out to dry. I smile and point: “Where is my home?” Across a pond of lotus leaves, a little bridge stretches. Lamplight shines through paper windows among the slender bamboos, and the sound of reading fills the night.
A Handpicked Mix
Somewhere along the way, I began seeking out the beliefs authors put into their writing. When an author wants the characters on the page to feel alive, beautiful prose and fluid characterization are necessary, but they're only the surface. The protagonists and other characters need determination, courage, and dreams. For that, an author needs to understand them deeply and write from the heart.
Love Your Reading List
The rich need not buy good fields; books hold a thousand measures of grain. You need not build a towering mansion; books hold houses of gold. Don't lament having no one to accompany you outside; books are crowded with carriages and horses.
Yue Zhi Hai's Top Picks
In heaven stands the White Jade Capital, with twelve towers and five cities. An immortal lays a hand upon my head; my hair bound up, I receive eternal life. I strayed after worldly pleasures, and learned much of the rise and fall of human affairs. Ninety-six sage rulers have come and gone, their names like clouds, suspended in the empty sky.

Books I Dream Of
More than twenty years have passed like a dream. Though I still live, the thought is enough to make me tremble. I climb the little pavilion at leisure and watch the skies clear. How many things have happened, past and present? A fisherman's song rises at midnight.

The protagonist is lecturing an illiterate man, and it's completely jarring. Who cares how a dynasty fell? Who cares about the peasants' well-being? People only join rebellions for wealth and power. Author, you're not suited for this kind of writing. You should write about reincarnation as emperor, implementing reforms, and ultimately turning yourself into a constitutional monarchy. For rebellion stories, check out *The Floating Life of the Late Tang Dynasty*. See how the big shots operate.
The protagonist's rebellion feels like a joke.
Let me offer a brief overview of the Eight Banners structure. From a holistic perspective, the Eight Banners resemble a pyramid, with each layer overlapping the last. At the top are the Banner Masters, who include not only the head of a banner but also the lower-ranking banner masters.
It's like a haystack, a rather idealistic book, the kind of fairy tale for adults, suitable for reading as a mindless, enjoyable read.
I glanced at it but didn't read it in detail. So far, it's a decent read, but there's one problem: religion was very effective at uniting people in ancient times, but later it became a double-edged sword. How does the author intend to handle this issue? One wrong move and it could be a major flaw, so I need to be careful. 😁😁😁
The author's book is logical and well-written. A modern person traveling back in time, without initiating a land revolution, would struggle to gain the support of the peasantry. Unfortunately, many young people today lack historical knowledge and refuse to sing the national anthem, making them reject and find it difficult to accept the land revolution. The author should avoid this pitfall in future books.
I've caught up to the latest chapter, and it's pretty good. There aren't many flaws, and the logic is clear. The only downside is that the pacing is too fast, and many details are lacking; some war scenes are simplified. But that prevents it from being a filler story 😁. It's good, but not popular. This book is unlikely to get recommended. I hope the author can maintain the quality; more and more people will read it eventually.
It's quite enjoyable to watch without thinking too much.
Missionary work from prison—the timing actually seems quite feasible, and the author's plotting skills are quite impressive.
For those who have read it, what do you think of the book? Is it about opposing the Qing Dynasty? Did they join the Southern Ming or start a new movement?
