Books You Can't Put Down
Thanks for all the gifts, everyone. Mwah! I've been hanging around Qidian since before the site was revamped, and I'm an old bookworm. I read pretty much everything except harem novels and urban political dramas. Here are some mainstream and niche books that had me hooked from the start.

Absolute Classics
Only classics make the list, with every genre represented.
A List Curator Who Can’t Write Reviews
(To the person who went out of your way to downvote this list: thanks for the effort! I didn't realize you had so little to do!) Everything here is something I've read and personally think is worth reading. I'm too lazy to write reviews. Whether a book is good is up to each reader, not something the list owner gets to decide. (Book recommendations welcome, any genre.) No genre restrictions.
Completed Books for My Collection
Sorry, everyone. This list is basically my personal storage space for completed novels, a stockpile of reading material for myself. Every book here is a completed novel I've read and consider good. That's why ongoing books won't make the list, no matter how popular they are. This is a list of completed novels, so I apologize. And feel free to share any other good completed novels you know.

If Only I Could Go Back to the Way Things Were...
If history had changed, would I be a different person today? As a military enthusiast and history buff, I really want to transmigrate. I think about the unknown past and its bloody battles, the suffering of our ancestors and the raids by barbarian tribes, the first stirrings of technology and ideas, and the weight of old customs... If we could go back, perhaps the Chinese people wouldn't have endured so much hardship, and Chinese culture wouldn't have been buried under so much dust. But it's all
Borrow Me 500 More Years from Heaven
Whether fictional or real, there is always some history, country, nation, place, family, person, or moment that, once you learn about it, leaves you sighing with regret and wishing you could take their place.

Why does the male lead seem like he's completely inexperienced in human relationships and affairs? He seems clueless, acts without thinking, and is like someone with a mental disability.
The author's claims about Tang Dynasty copper coins are nonsense, often involving tens of thousands of strings of cash. One string of cash in the Tang Dynasty was worth 1,000 coins, roughly equivalent to 16 jin (approximately 8 catties) today, which has a purchasing power of over 7,000 yuan. Tens of thousands of strings of copper coins would require dozens of cartloads of money. Furthermore, the circulation of gold and silver was prohibited among the common people during the Tang Dynasty.
The prize pool only has this one book, it's a trap! I've won it several times in a row.
Author, have you even done your research? You're just spouting nonsense. Repairing a gate costs 5,000 strings of copper coins? Accepting a gift costs millions of strings of copper coins? The Tang Dynasty's annual income was only a little over 30 million strings of copper coins!
The protagonist, a modern man who returns to ancient times, shows his fiancée his poop and makes her wipe his bottom without any resistance (unlike a middle school student who would resist their parents showing them their poop and making them wipe their bottom).
Qi Huan kidnaps the protagonist, his father, and the protagonist's tenants. They verbally abuse the protagonist's father and force him to sign a contract. Qi Huan's servants beat the protagonist and his party. The protagonist volunteers to treat Qi Huan's father, even saying he'll die if he can't cure him. Then Qi Huan threatens to kill the protagonist's entire family if he can't cure him!
It was alright before the VIP subscription period; if you didn't take it too seriously, it was okay. But then, on the way to Chang'an, when I started recruiting subordinates, the book's style changed drastically. The plot went off track and it became a mindless, simplistic novel. I had to drop it. Sigh, I initially thought it was a good book...
Modern Chinese medicine practitioners, if you went back to the Tang Dynasty, you really wouldn't be able to show off.
No wonder there are so many bad reviews for this book. The whole book is about teaching you how to flatter you. As the emperor and the prince, you are constantly competing with your ministers for credit. This is not a phenomenon that should be in a normal society. What's more, Li Shimin is still very open-minded. I feel that in the author's eyes, the Tang Dynasty is a model of the Qing Dynasty.
If you're writing about Traditional Chinese Medicine, don't write about ancient times. Fictional settings are fine, but in reality, ancient doctors had very low status. Imperial physicians had a slightly higher status, but in the palace, there weren't many doctors who could easily be beheaded just for curing someone. Your story, which started with a modern, pretentious plot, became popular.
