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.

Readable Niche Novels
My reading tastes are pretty broad. I can follow hundreds of books and read over a thousand in a year, across historical fiction, Chinese entertainment, xuanhuan, fan fiction, and basketball. I leave out the really popular ones.

Don't portray Chen Kaige as Japanese! The poet Chen is just arrogant, pretentious, and likes to lecture. Don't write him like a villain; it doesn't fit his refined and proud image. You can change the villain to Lu Chuan, Huayi Brothers, or the Hong Kong entertainment circle, that's fine too.
The author was fooled; they actually thought that having Liu as the female lead would get them more subscriptions!
The protagonist can sleep with the treasure chest on the woman's head, so why doesn't the protagonist try the same thing with a man? Is the author being sexist?
Why are they depicting indigenous people? It looks awkward.
The author mentions Yang Mi with a braid; you should be careful, it's best not to write about it.
I watched it in a bit of a daze, so here are my thoughts.
First. The premise is quite bizarre. The protagonist and Liu Yifei are siblings from a blended family... Hmm, my first thought about this setting was, "How the hell can they lick like that?" As the plot unfolded (I skipped around while watching), I saw the main characters amidst constant battles, while also having Liu Yifei by their side (although their relationship is now purely sibling-like).
Chen Kaige prides himself on being a cultured man; such a person, with his refined tastes, shouldn't be petty or a vicious villain. Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, is like a kind and honest old farmer.
The earlier parts were alright, but then Lust, Caution was a bit of a letdown. And then they put on Full House instead of promoting Korean dramas, which is disgusting. Qidian really should add a refund function.
It's utter garbage! The main character is written like a complete idiot; I couldn't even finish the first three chapters.

Let me give you a general overview for those of you who are new to this hobby. The main character is an indigenous person. Happy family (has parents, regardless of whether they're descendants, this is a very dramatic setting). No future information. Background: academic (is academia really that great? Big shots join for free, buy one get two free, all menial tasks are free). Has a cheat code
