Sixteen Years of Recommending Only the Best
I've read countless books. Once, I chased quantity and quick thrills, reading everything from famous authors to newcomers. But the true masters gradually disappeared, and bland books became endless. Good books grew hard to find, so I walked away. Now I've returned to Qidian. I no longer care about rankings in the web-novel world. I'll enjoy both newcomers and big names with a drink, as long as their work is sincere. After more than a decade of reading, I've gathered dozens of top-quality works,

One good book can make you forget sleep, hunger, video games, and dating. Stack up enough good books, and you won’t need to sleep at night. There are always classic books you’ll read from cover to cover more than once, and stories and characters worth revisiting and savoring. Once time has settled the clamor of the world, these books will make your reading life feel wonderfully peaceful and fulfilling.

Dear readers, the review section for "Joy of Life" has recently become lively again due to the popularity of the TV series. Your enthusiasm has repeatedly propelled this book, completed ten years ago, to the top of the bestseller list. Some readers praise the book, some prefer the TV series, and of course, many enjoy both. To each their own, which is perfectly normal.
Lonely Journey 2
When he was truly bored, he would have the nurse prop up his hospital bed, and then he would just stare blankly at the busy crowd moving back and forth in front of him: doctors, nurses, family members... He felt so out of place among them. It was like a grain of sand thrown into the ocean; the ocean remained unchanged, but the grain of sand so clearly felt how out of place it was with everything…
Lonely Journey 3
Just like Truman in The Truman Show. But unlike Truman, at least Truman could discover the falseness of the world he was in, and then resolutely board the boat, find the exit, and go to the real world. He was truly terrified that if he opened his heart to someone and revealed this secret, the world would shatter with a deafening crash.
Lonely Journey 1
It's often said that when people are bored, they think about all sorts of strange things. Fan Xian is here to debunk a rumor: it's true. During his years of serious hospitalization, out of boredom, Fan Xian once pondered what loneliness felt like. Was it facing the sea, listening to the waves, coming from eternity and heading towards eternity?
(Repost) Some chilling interpretations of Joy of Life
Teng Zijing encountered Guo Baokun, whose life or death could be decided with a single word; Fan Sizhe encountered Guo Baokun, who could verbally provoke him and even take him to the street; Fan Xian encountered Guo Baokun, who could only engage in verbal sparring. Guo Baokun was still Guo Baokun, only their statuses were different.
