First things first: no playboys or harems. There's a bit of everything here, for readers of any gender. I've read every book on this list carefully myself. I'll keep updating it if I can. I didn't know about Qidian at first and just searched online. Later I got a basic paid account, but after reading more, I decided it wasn't worth it, so I upgraded to a premium account. Everything recommended here is a book I've read myself. Feel free to like the books you enjoy o(≧v≦)o. The most-liked books wi

Untitled Letters
Most recent historical novels focus on emperors and princes. They begin with the title of emperor or prince, and the setting is always the imperial palace or the capital city. How many books, like "Qin Officials," begin their narratives from the perspective of ordinary people? How many depict the harsh realities of life amidst the chaos of the world?
Several thoughts on the article's suggestion to establish the capital in Xi'an
I do not agree with establishing Xi'an as the capital, as this goes against the historical trend. China has always been a centralized political system. The function of the capital is not simply to facilitate connections with the rest of the country or to be geographically central. Rather, it is to maximize control over the entire country while maintaining a stable base of power.
Several issues for rational discussion 1. The protagonist is more like a character objectified by the author. Simply put, the male protagonist is a man created by the author from a female perspective to meet the author's expectations. Although there are all kinds of people and all kinds of thoughts in the world, the inner world of men who can achieve great things is actually extremely complex.
I urge all readers who enjoy this book not to keep it unused.
For readers who want to wait until the book has more words, you can turn to the last page after each update. This will help increase the number of book favorites and readers, giving the author confidence to maintain high-quality updates.
For later readers
The plot of "The Crown Prince Zhu Biao" is getting better and better. The groundwork has been laid in the early stages and the exciting parts of the middle stage are about to begin. The middle part of the plot should involve acquiring political resources in Korea and Japan to further develop domestic and foreign power and prepare for the return of Crown Prince Zhu Biao's lineage to the legitimate…
The people of the Ming Dynasty weren't foolish. Corn and sweet potatoes had already been planted. They knew they were drought-resistant. Zeng Dezhao recorded in his *Great China Records* at the end of the Ming Dynasty that corn had become a staple food in northern Shanxi and Shaanxi. The fact that sweet potatoes weren't planted likely means they didn't suit the tastes of the Chinese at the time. Besides, eating too many sweet potatoes isn't actually good for you.
I'm starting a thread to talk about Bo Bai.
Bo Bai was a yellow-haired Tartar, a Uriankhai person, who were descendants of the Tiele tribe of the Tang Dynasty. During the Wanli era, the Uriankhai people were massacred by Dayan Khan's grandson and Altan Khan for resisting taxes, and the remnants of the tribe migrated south and west.
Some thoughts on the "harem"
I've read a few harem novels before, and my opinion of them has evolved from "a bit strange but readable" to "utterly despised" to now "at ease." Online novels allow for fantasies, including the devoted male supporting characters in female-oriented stories. They may think this way, but they might not act that way. We should judge by actions, not intentions.
Look at the swords of the late Jin Dynasty, look at the time-travel guide of the Northern Song Dynasty, their characters have excellent grades, and the male protagonist becomes emperor through various arranged marriages.
Zhu Yin, as the central figure, possesses a complex and captivating personality. He exhibits the decisiveness and rationality of a modern person, always able to calmly analyze and devise ingenious solutions when faced with difficulties; at the same time, under the influence of ancient traditions, he gradually cultivated a strong sense of patriotism and mission, willing to sacrifice his…
