I like stories about fighting for power within a household, and I also like palace-intrigue stories. I have to say, Qidian's historical romances are generally quite good. I also enjoy romance and supernatural powers. I'm not as keen on ghost stories because I'm a scaredy-cat, but when I find a good one, I can't help taking a look. This list isn't just for female-oriented fiction. I'll also recommend books from the main site if they're good. The list is brand new, so please show it some love!

I've personally tried these out, and I think they're really good. They're all ongoing historical romances that I'm following, and I like them. Most are currently updating. I usually delete a book once I've finished it, or if I don't like it. I prefer newer books. Haha.
Women’s Fiction So Good You Can’t Put It Down
I registered on Qidian in 2005 and became a high-level VIP member in 2008. That's ten years as a VIP, not counting the three years before that. I started out reading the main site, and there's no need to mention big names like San Shao and Fanqie. I'd read just about every popular book from back then. Later, when Qidian launched its women's fiction section, I gradually started reading more of that. Early on, very few women's fiction books could compete with the main site's appeal. Then I realize

Favorites From Kindle to Qidian
For the past couple of years, I’ve mostly been reading historical romance. The older I get, the harder it is to accept how novelists understand and portray real life. Good historical romances are easier to find and enjoy than contemporary romances, after all, their settings are unfamiliar to me.
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 revisit Zhizhi's novel "The Concubine's Daughter" from time to time. I've read it on several accounts on Qidian, and I've always considered it a classic among classics of all novels about concubine's daughters. It contains maternal love, paternal love, marital relationships, and also doesn't lack subtle power struggles.
The concubine's daughter has always been the white moonlight in my heart, and I won't accept any arguments against it. I admire Shiyi Niang's intelligence, forbearance, tolerance, and unparalleled wisdom. I admire the Marquis's seriousness, responsibility, dignified and domineering nature, and tenderness.
The drama "The Sword and the Brocade" premiered, and after watching eight episodes, I was truly heartbroken. I was so heartbroken that I lost interest in stock trading, gaming, and even going to work… Today, I can only find solace and support from fellow book fans on various platforms, venting together about this fanfiction.
I hadn't read the book before, so I reread it. I still feel the female lead's personality lacks any modern traits; she's completely like an ancient person. Her time-traveling identity only serves a small purpose in the early parts of the story; otherwise, it's barely noticeable.
After watching the first episode of "The Sword and the Brocade" on the 26th
This content is too long; read with caution February 26, 2021 was a special day, so I'm posting this to commemorate it. I forced myself to finish the first episode of "The Sword and the Brocade," and as a fan of this book, at this moment, I can only feel one word – disappointment. First, I understand that TV series and novels are different genres, so adaptations are necessary to enrich the story.
Whenever I feel particularly tired, or encounter problems, difficulties, or setbacks, I like to read this old novel called "The Strategy of a Concubine's Daughter"! It tells the story of Shiyi Niang. In her maternal family, she was born to a concubine, the main wife was powerful, and her own mother was a slave, making life difficult!
I watched 10 minutes of the show and then had to give up. Even Wallace Chung's good looks couldn't stop me from abandoning it. 11, The most law-abiding transmigrated girl, is afraid of making a single wrong step. How come she has already created several love rivals for Xu Lingyi at the very beginning? What's wrong with the screenwriter's brain?
Checking in at famous scenes from online novels—The Strategy of a Concubine's Daughter
Birdsong echoes across the distant mountains, while mist lingers alone in the forest. A gentle mist carries the scent of willow branches; I climb the tower to await your arrival. During the summer after my college entrance exam, I got my first cell phone. I was so excited about it (and I still can't live without it now).
Although Zhida had warned me beforehand about the plot changes, I still never expected that this was another story under the names of Shiyi Niang and Xu Si. Seeing the original Niang dressed in fine clothes and looking perfectly healthy, I immediately gave up. I just want to shout at the editor from afar: if you're so capable, why don't you write it yourself?
For readers who say the female lead in this story is like an ancient person and doesn't fit the stereotype of a time-traveling woman, you might want to take a closer look. I've read it five times. Shiyi Niang initially falls for Xu, but internally rejects it, only accepting it after a long time.
