A Young Lady’s Reading List
Books that keep readers turning the pages. I grew up reading books from my grandfather's study, like The Hu Family Generals, The Yang Family Generals, Tai Chi Master, Investiture of the Gods, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Historical fiction, wuxia, and myths and legends are my favorites. In middle school, when the girls in my class were reading Qiong Yao and Xi Juan, I was reading Jin Yong. I didn't fit in with the girls, but I didn't have much in common

This list hadn’t been updated in ages. I suddenly realized that I’d lost track of so many books!!! Books of all kinds are collected here. Feel free to browse. If you find something you like, please give it a thumbs-up to show your support. I’ll pin books from time to time based on their number of likes! Quick transmigration stories, or similar ones. I’m really into them lately. Quick transmigration seems to have evolved from infinite-flow novels. I think the male-oriented version is called infi

The first half was alright, but I couldn't continue reading once the court intrigues began. Without sufficient experience and meticulous thinking, one couldn't write these kinds of stories well. Many parts are written very immaturely; the court struggles and palace intrigues are too childish and lack coherence. The author really shouldn't have forced these elements into the story.
The ending is utterly absurd: how could the emperor, who had seen so many women, inexplicably fall in love with Baochai? It's simply illogical, and he even spared the confiscation of so many property because of her.
Actually, you've all forgotten. Long, long ago, our ancestors possessed boundless power. At that time, heaven and earth collapsed, and all living beings suffered. There was one person who used his shoulders and his life to hold up the sky. Therefore, we say that he cleaved through chaos, stood tall and upright, and gave people a new world.
Xing Xiuyan is not cannon fodder at all! Her ending is better than most of the Thirteen Beauties. Xing Xiuyan is also a very intelligent girl, and her later life will definitely be better!
The writing is very detailed, but there's no need to portray Baoyu negatively for the sake of negative portrayal. Although he is morally flawed, he doesn't exhibit so many inappropriate behaviors towards his sisters.
The way the characters are addressed is not quite right. Zhengde and Qiaojie are not of the same generation. He should be called uncle, not brother.
Why doesn't she speak up for herself when everyone else is criticizing the female lead?
I'm a little annoyed that everyone keeps saying bad things about the female lead, why doesn't she just say it herself? 😅
The writing is alright, but why put the epilogue after chapter 46? After reading the epilogue, the rest of the plot is basically spoiled.
Looking back over 24 years, this is indeed a rare and excellent book.
Hehe... "Dream of the Red Chamber Night Talk" has been locked up in a dark room. I was hoping to see when it would be released, but now it seems unlikely. I can only watch it online.
