Personal Bookshelf: Historical Romance
The stories I love
Personal Favorites
Mostly fantasy and historical fiction. This is my personal reading list. Paratrooper Bai, spare me the nonsense. Most people these days are illiterate idiots. They struggle with long sentences and written language, and even have trouble understanding short, conversational sentences. They can read ten thousand words and still have no idea what the author wrote. They desperately want to identify with the characters and get their so-called thrills. As a result, these works can never become real lit

A Veteran Reader's Book Recommendations
I only recommend books I’ve read myself. I used to read a lot of male-oriented fiction, mostly classics. Since I started reading female-oriented fiction, I’ve read less of it, and barely recognize the authors on the monthly ticket rankings anymore. The same goes for female-oriented fiction: even the big names have mostly stopped writing. But new authors keep appearing, and good books never stop coming.

A Few Interesting Reads
A few books with something to them. I read all kinds of genres. If it’s good, I’ll read it. I’ve stumbled across countless duds, so I only recommend books worth reading at least twice. Hehe.
Great Farming Novels
Farming stories, also known as slice-of-life family dramas, set in either ancient or modern times. These novels depict the everyday lives of ordinary people. I like a gentle, flowing style, family life, and chatting about farm work over a drink. Everything I recommend here is a classic I've read and worth checking out. If you like this sort of thing, give them a try.
Farming, Transmigrate, and Reborn Stories: Classic Historical Romance I've Read Over the Years
Of all the novels I’ve read over the years, I’ve always had a special fondness for historical romances. Compared with the flashy modern romances, historical romances set in fictional worlds leave more room for the imagination. I love following authors as they spin tales from different times and places...

The male and female protagonists are transported into a book they once read, set in the Ming Dynasty. They are the only legitimate sons of a landlord family, newlyweds with in-laws and a younger sister. The father-in-law is not very capable, so the mother-in-law manages everything.
He himself disliked taking concubines, yet he kept sending them to his relatives; it was disgusting.
What kind of "five-good family" is this? It's disgusting.
Taking a concubine is disgusting; I can't stand it every time I see it. The legitimate daughter even kneels before her concubine—how shameless! The daughter-in-law doesn't help her mother-in-law and even makes her suffer, while the son doesn't side with his mother and just watches his father take a concubine. It's disgusting.
The title made it seem readable, but the part about the daughter-in-law and concubine teaming up against the mother-in-law became uninteresting, so I dropped it.
The female lead is disgusting! And she calls herself a "model family"? Ugh!
A book I really liked ten years ago, I can't believe it's been so long... Was this the first book to introduce the idea of immediately integrating into an ancient class society after time travel? It feels more realistic than other novels at the time. Especially since most of the supporting characters aren't truly good or bad; they all have strengths and weaknesses.
The first few chapters were okay, but the later ones were just awful. The male protagonist acts like a child seeking praise from his elderly mother when he makes glass; he argues about what he can do and what he can sit on before he even finishes making it. ... The female protagonist is a hypocrite who allows officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people to light lamps.
The writing is good, and it's easy to read, so why is it disgusting?
I think it's okay to watch for fun! I don't understand why so many people find it disgusting. 😰
