The Code of the Future
I’ve been reading for 35 years, and I only recommend books with good plots and prose 👌. I read what I want to read, think what I want to think, and say what I want to say. I’ll try to add books of different genres to satisfy everyone’s curiosity and catch their eye. By the way, I’ll occasionally upload chapters from good books that haven’t been signed to a publisher yet.
Mao You's Little Garden
A reading list from a bookworm of over ten years. I still remember registering my Qidian account in 2006. Back then I was reading The Demonic Saga, The Misty Journey, Magic Apprentice, Stellar Transformation, The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, Ghost Blows Out the Light, and many others. I've read so, so much, and the books I still remember made a deep impression on me. That's why it's hard to find books I can get into these days. Everything I recommend is something I can really enjoy reading!

Unforgettable Memories
Every longtime bookworm has a few unforgettable books. I went from reading only free novels to paying for a VIP membership, always unable to resist opening my wallet because of the twists and turns in one gripping story after another. I’d wait day after day for updates, then feel strangely empty when a novel ended. I’d look for something similar, but couldn’t help comparing it to the original. I searched through recommendation after recommendation until I finally found my next favorite. I unders
My Favorite Novels
The completed novels are ones I've read several times without getting tired of them. I love them! There are also a few I'm currently following, all carefully chosen. After all, reading costs money. Guaranteed quality, backed by my stellar taste.

Not exciting enough to enjoy, not bad enough to drop: I didn't finish it!

Lingering Sentiments Amid Fluttering Robes
Historical romance makes up the largest share of female-oriented fiction on Qidian, and its many authors keep producing one good book after another. In those bygone eras of classical elegance and fluttering robes, all sorts of women come to life on the page, taking us back in time to experience portraits of young noblemen and ladies shaped by their age. Young men and women in historical settings go through all kinds of different experiences. Their stories really draw me in, and I'm sure many rea
Immortal Grass and Great Reads: Even Promising New Authors Make the Cut
I've personally tried every book on this list, and each one has something worth recommending. They're all well-written, with excellent plots. I'm incredibly lazy and don't want to write a blurb for every book, so I only include stories reviewed by the roadside review circle and books I personally adore. If you'd like a book added, leave a comment with a short recommendation. I'll give it a try and add it if I like it. But I have limited time, so I hope you'll understand. One more thing: if you'r
Time's Affection
These are all books Lingzi has collected and really enjoyed. Comments are welcome.
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.

Completed Novels, Personal Favorites, A Little Old 😊
As the title says, most of these have over a million readers. If you haven't read these older books, give them a try! I don't recommend new books much anymore. I'm no good at writing recommendations, so just read the book descriptions 😝 Not enough followers! Come on, everyone, follow me! Don't stop! 😱

Recommendations from a Seasoned Novel Fan
After more than 20 years of reading all kinds of novels from China and abroad, I have selected and shared with everyone the novels that are truly worth reading. Good books deserve to be savored, and our support is what gives authors the motivation to keep writing. Please support officially published works as well. ^^ Many Qidian works have been published in Taiwan in traditional Chinese editions. I first discovered most of these authors and their works in Taiwanese novel rental shops. Later, aft

Sharing one husband with four women, being bullied by her mother-in-law's concubine, and saying good things to the concubine who bullied her, is she still a modern time traveler? ! I can't watch it!
It's really well written, true and reliable, but I felt so frustrated and in a bad mood after reading it.
How does a time traveler do a sequel? Or a scumbag full of feudal ideas? ! How do you spend your day? !
The house fight is really exciting! If you like house fighting, you shouldn't miss it. Although it collapsed in the later stage, the early part is really exciting, especially when you and your brother fight against your mother's family, it's a lot of fun!
In a book, many chapters are repeated, and the problem is that they are charged repeatedly. Support the genuine version, but don't be so sloppy.
The writing is very good, and can be compared with the Concubine Guide, but the male protagonist was too scumbag and lustful in the early stage, and he harmed many young girls. Maybe it was because of this that the book was not popular.
