Qian Qian's Entertainment Reads
A list of books I've collected, just for reference... A list with descriptions that couldn't pass review. Let's cherish it while we can.
Liu Yifei as the Sole Female Lead
Xixi may be doing all right in real life, but I hope she has a better life in novels. Qidian is flooded with entertainment-industry stories written just to cash in, so I made this list to help everyone avoid the duds. The books I picked may not be great, but they're definitely not problematic.
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
Empress Xixi's Single-Heroine Novels
A selection of new and old books that I currently think are decent. Created on May 8, 2026. I'll add more if I come across any good ones.
Chinese Entertainment Novels with Liu Yifei as the Sole Female Lead
Mainly a collection of novels I’ve read or am reading with Liu Yifei as the female lead.
Novels with Liu Yifei as the Female Lead: Only the Best Chinese Entertainment Fiction, Xixi the Celestial Fairy Liu
Liu Tianxian's life has had three stages ● 2002–2008: Rise to fame Innocent, lively, and adorable. Just look at the goofy jumping around in those behind-the-scenes clips from The Return of the Condor Heroes. ● 2009–2020: The low point She was [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] by a certain company. In particular, she nearly quit the industry in 2009 and 2010. She got through it by reading lots of inspirational books. In 2011, she got close to the declining Hong Kong entertainment scene. In 2

Qianqian's Single-Female-Lead Reading List
I'm recommending books that I personally think are pretty well written.
Premium Fiction with Xixi as the Female Lead
Starting a sweet life with Xixi
Xixi: One Female Lead
These are books I personally like. I'm not great at describing them, so whether you'll enjoy them is up to you. I don't read books I dislike, so no matter how well they're written, I won't recommend them!
Entertainment Novel Reading List
This list is for entertainment-industry novels I've read. Most of the books here suit my personal taste. I prefer stories that feel grounded in reality and don't care for mindless wish-fulfillment stories where the protagonist is already maxed out from the start. There aren't any truly awful books here. I'd also love recommendations for similar works. If I like them, I'll add them to the list.

It's quite interesting. Old Liu switched careers to become a director, and together they started a business, beginning with a pittance. This approach is quite rare. Most rebirth novels in the Chinese entertainment industry follow the same formula: investing in XXX company and waiting for its stock price to skyrocket, then immediately replicating XXX movie, a film completed in three to five…
This book would be marketable for women, but men wouldn't find it satisfying. The male protagonist is too weak; he only earned 200,000 yuan in four years after transmigrating from 2002. Even if a reborn person doesn't want to be a top billionaire, they still have the financial means. With the World Cup, sports betting, stocks, and industry trends, even a complete idiot should have made a million yuan in four years.
1995–1999 Zhao Yue (1995), Meng Ziyi (1995), Yu Shuxin (1995), Wang Yuwen (1997), Cheng Xiao (1998), Song Zuer (1998) 1990~1994 Zhang Tianai (born 1990 or 1988)❓, Guo Shuyao (born 1990), Lin Yanrou (born 1990), Xu Dongdong (born 1990), Wang Zixuan (born 1992), Xu Lu (born 1994 or 1990)❓ 1985~1989 Li Yufen, 1985. (Jiang Yan, Yang Mi, Gan Tingting 1986 or 1982❓, Clara, Gao Haining) 1986.
Using Liu Yifei's name actually equates to creating an original female lead. For example, if the four sisters are all unlucky and die, the female lead actively cultivates a big secret.
I just read the first chapter, and the author seems to have a curse! They've removed elements from *Tian Long Ba Bu*, *Chinese Paladin*, and *The Return of the Condor Heroes*. How can that celestial beauty still be considered celestial? Most people probably only like her because of those three dramas.
This is such a shame. The beginning was amazing, but the ending was terrible. The whole book only had four TV series adapted from it, right? And the two only collaborated on one and a half series, didn't they? The rest is all about the male lead focusing on his career, and all their interactions involve their mothers.
Author, you made short dramas back in the early 2000s and wanted to sell them to TV stations? Are you kidding me? Short dramas are a product of the rise of short video websites. How can you broadcast an episode that's only a few minutes long on TV? Who would want it? Are you kidding me? Besides, 380,000 yuan isn't even enough for a short drama. Renting equipment and providing boxed lunches would cost a lot more... It's hilarious. Author, do you even understand film and television production?
This is a case of false advertising!
The name has been changed: it could be Liu Yifei, Liu Qianqian, or An Feng, but what the heck is An Qian? The character's core has also changed: at forty years old, she possesses a stubborn streak, social anxiety, and a fragile, sensitive, and closed-off heart. She won't easily trust others anymore.
It's a bit of a shame about this setting.
Hmm… how should I put it? This concept is very original, and if written well, it has the potential to become a huge hit. The writing style is too bland, with too many repetitive and exaggerated descriptions of actions and words. It's too verbose and limits the imagination, making it awkward. Good writing, even with just dialogue, can evoke a wealth of imagery in your mind. It feels like the author is writing a novel like a screenplay, and one that restricts how you raise your arms and legs.
