When Mi Ruo Has No Heart, There Is No Joy or Sorrow
🍁 “From Entry to Inner Sanctum” 🍁 🍁 “From Entry to Inner Sanctum” 🍁 “I came to Qidian for Zhizhi.” “Now I can’t tear myself away.” So many stories unfold in this mortal world, and every story has you and me. Some stories are wonderful, but I never go back to read them, because the sadness they left me with far outweighs the warmth. Some wonderful stories are ones I return to again and again, because the more I revisit them, the warmer they make me feel. Zhizhi’s stories have just that kind
✨I Have No Willpower to Keep Up with Updates✨
Formerly known as “Pear Blossoms Drift Like Snow” From the opening of a novel by Zhizhi I Never have the willpower to follow ongoing stories. Or maybe I've never been able to stick with anything, not taking medicine when I'm sick, following novels or shows, going to bed early, getting up early, practicing calligraphy... Maybe it was always destined to be this way. I'm just a “terrible” reader. I'm sorry. I once loved “you,” the ongoing story, just not enough to see it through to the end. These

But sometimes I think it would have been better if I never had. If I’d never received it, how could losing it hurt so much? If I’d never felt the warmth of the sun, how could this grayness feel so desolate? Or perhaps having had it is a blessing in its own way? At least it warmed me once, even if it was only that single ray of sunshine… I adore Zh

Recommendations from a Veteran Reader! Too Many Gems to Keep Up With!
As a longtime book lover, I've read novels in countless genres: When I was little, there weren't any novels around, so I read anything I could find with words on it. Listening to the village grandmothers tell all kinds of stories at night was a delight, too! From historical romances to novels of every kind, from The Generals of the Yang Family and The Three Heroes and Five Gallants to Jin Yong and Qiong Yao, from Wang Guozhen to Lu Xun, from Chinese works to foreign ones, from Zheng Yuanjie fair
Classic Long Reads for Women
A good story never fades with time. I only like happy endings. Let people say what they want! I've been reading for over ten years... I prefer long novels. I don't read danmei, harem stories, novels with bland protagonists, or Mary Sue stories. If I can get into a book and still remember it some time later, it's a good one to me... I'll add more from time to time. Most of these are complete! The rest are on their way to being finished! Tap ❤ if you like this list. (This is a very old account. I

Historical Romance, Already Tested for Toxicity
I've spent years reading and testing countless books. I only love historical romance, and I recommend these with care.
Scenic Journeys
I’m a devoted fan of Zhizhi! I’ve read every one of her masterpieces, completely captivated and unable to put them down. When I’m waiting for a new chapter, I’m so restless I can barely sleep. The protagonists in Zhizhi’s books are all different, but they’re righteous and kind, with deep feelings and tender love and family bonds. Every book offers something to learn about life, and leaves you with plenty to take away. Give Zhizhi’s books a try!
Sharing Good Books
In ten years on Qidian, I’ve read lots of great books by authors like Xu Gongzi Shengzhi, Zui Hu, Die Lan, Yue Guan, Zhi Zhi, Xi Xing, Mian Bei Meinan, and many others.

The narrative of this story is extremely chaotic. The female protagonist, a transmigrator, upholds feudal ethics even more than the natives, which is quite an achievement in terms of "integration"... Furthermore, there's practically no satisfying part; one event leads to another, leaving the reader feeling frustrated until the very end.
The female lead is completely brain-dead. Her own mother is almost dead, yet she's still sympathizing with others. This is the author's worst novel, bar none.
It's been so many years since it was written, how come people are still criticizing this book for no reason? I feel that Zizi's books took off starting with this one. The female protagonist is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, brave and resourceful. It's not a typical "female protagonist wish fulfillment" story, but it explores the struggle of finding a way out amidst difficulties.
I watched it a long, long time ago, and I'd almost forgotten everything. I listened to it again on audiobook, but I still felt the story wasn't finished. Also, the characters were a bit slow-witted. In the last chapter, why did Liang Youhui say she helped the female lead, and when the female lead's expression turned bad, did she immediately think of the handkerchief the Crown Prince had given her?
I've only watched half of it so far. The female lead is currently a very modern person in terms of her thinking, but her actions repeatedly cross the line of this feudal society, requiring the ancient people around her to remind her to be more restrained. I'd seen comments in book clubs saying the female lead was even more entrenched in feudal ethics than the natives, so I hadn't read this book.
This is my favorite. The female lead is a time traveler, but she seems to have no control over her own life. I guess she only dared to divorce and remarry because she time-traveled. Compared to other time-travel stories, this one is more realistic. Life wasn't easy for women in ancient times; they all had to endure hardship.
The female lead is both stupid and foolish... The author's writing is clearly good, so why couldn't they have written a better plot too!
I reread "Good Things Take Time"! I even subscribed to all the pirated versions I used to read! I love Xiaosai Ge! I love the male and female leads in this story! A young couple meeting in their early teens, their feelings hazy and unknowing, the plot twists and turns, but thankfully, in the end, they are united. Thank you, Zhizhi, for writing such a wonderful story, allowing me to relive the beautiful, heart-fluttering emotions of first love. 😌
There are just too many flaws, I don't even know where to begin.
I don't understand why people refer to their parents as "Master" and "Madam".
