Over Ten Years of Reading: My All-Time Favorites, Male- and Female-Oriented Novels

I don't like palace intrigue or xianxia. At the very least, the story should make sense!

As Long as I Like It

I've been an avid reader for ten years and have read tons of books on Qidian. Some I liked, some I didn't; some I've reread, while others I dropped after one try. Some won me over at first sight, while others only hooked me once they went premium. As a mature woman, I mostly read female-oriented fiction, though I've also read plenty of great books from the main site. But I avoid harem and polyandry novels, and I can't get into childish stories, alternate-dimension novels, or Korean entertainment

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.

Do You Know How Deep My Longing Runs?

Red beans adorn the exquisite dice, yet love is the thing I disdain most. Of three thousand weak streams, I'll drink from just one. I'd rather go without than settle for less. Only period romances about one lifetime, one devoted couple.

Classic Reads I Love

I've been reading web novels for over ten years. I tend to prefer cultivation fantasy, space sci-fi, and alternate-history or ancient-setting romance, though I read other genres too, just not as often. These are all books I've read and enjoyed for their writing, plot, and other strengths (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ P.S. They're all aimed at female readers. I don't mind whether there's a male lead, as long as the story handles it well and is enjoyable.

Reborn Historical Romance with a Powerful Male Lead

The heroine was framed and met a tragic end in her previous life. Reborn, she returns to take on her stepmother and the scumbag who betrayed her, and eventually finds true love. Newly added: stories with strong male leads, historical fiction, and fantasy.
