Green's Treasure Trove of Great Reads
A good story doesn’t need to have a male or female lead, so this list has books for both male and female readers. I don’t like following ongoing stories, so as a rule I only recommend completed novels. I may add a list of duds to avoid later. My basic requirements for a good story: smooth writing, correct grammar, sound values, intelligent characters, consistent characterization, and some originality.

My Reading List: Historical Romance
A simple record of books I've read
Gone Like Passing Clouds
Some books I read on Qidian. I once lost an account, and I've forgotten the titles of many of them.
One-on-One Romance, No Harem Stories
Some are by master authors, some are more amateur. Different strokes for different folks. If you enjoy the stories I recommend, please support the authors so we can enjoy more great books.
Orange's Book Nook (Follow Me 😙)
These are books I’ve read in recent years and thought were really good. I can only promise they don’t hit any of my personal pet peeves. Most of them seem to have pretty smart characters. Feel free to recommend books to me! I don’t read very fast, but I’ll add the good ones here! P.S. I’m a woman, so I read more female-oriented novels. For male-oriented novels, I generally only read ones with a single female lead or no female lead. If these aren’t your thing, please go easy on me (づ ̄3 ̄)づ
Occasional Recommendations: Proceed at Your Own Risk
Recommendations, try at your own risk. I like stories with smart protagonists and one-on-one romance. I don’t like domineering princes or seductive cult leaders, naive and helpless sweethearts, or Mary Sues who run off while pregnant. A 24-year-old bookworm with eight years of chronic laziness, here to dig holes and never fill them (straight face).
Books I Could Read Again
I've been reading since my youth and now I'm middle-aged. I've forgotten the titles of many books, but the ones I still remember must have stood out. Give me time to jog my memory.

As Ink Was at First
Women's fiction: family and farming stories, mouthwatering food tales, bold and formidable heroines, or quirky, entertaining mysteries...
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...
A Hodgepodge
I recommend novels I’ve finished reading or long-running ones I’m currently following.
Always So Quiet
Collecting books I've loved over the years. I may have forgotten the details, but the happiness they gave me is still there. I originally meant to recommend only completed books, but then I realized I'd read far too many, and I'd forgotten the names of lots of books I especially loved... So I'll recommend them as they come to mind. Ongoing series are included now too, and I'll mark them as such. (I'm a girl, but most of the books I recommend are from the main site. Hides face...)

It's a food article I read a long time ago.
I was quite impressed with it; I found it quite interesting, and then I searched everywhere for food articles to read.
The beginning was quite good, but the female lead's character and personality started to go awry later on.
I can't stand watching, the female lead is incredibly stupid.
The beginning was alright, but the latter part was just a bunch of people getting entangled, and the characters were flat and uninteresting! Xiao Huan was pretty good, quite lively!
I finally understand why some comments said the female lead was stupid. At first, I thought it was alright, and the comments were a bit harsh. But later, the female lead's actions were truly anti-intellectual to me; it made me frown.
I read this book a few years ago, and it's stayed with me ever since. The writing is truly excellent. It's especially suitable for writing about everyday family life. I wish another book like this would be published.
It's visually appealing, but the penultimate chapter... Do I really need those coins? Write it out for me! 😐
Where did He Lin come from? Was he also a time traveler?
Where did He Lin come from? Was he also a time traveler?
I read it 12 years ago, and eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye. I've reread this book more than ten times in these eleven years. Lu Ce is truly my favorite male protagonist. This book is full of my memories from elementary school to junior high school, high school, and university. Now, two years after graduation, I'm reading it again. It's a very old novel.
The story is good, but there's not enough interaction between the male and female leads.
