The Beauty of Classical Prose
Classical stories with elegant, flowing prose. Rebirth, transmigration, cultivation, xianxia, and history are all welcome.
A Showcase of Great Women's Fiction
There are countless works, but life is short, so choose the best and savor them. Everyone has a distinct personality, authors and characters alike. Reading broadens the mind. Stories can teach while entertaining, so don't get too caught up in their quirks. Respect authors who work hard and write sincerely; don't disparage them carelessly, and encourage them to keep striving. Support legal reading and cultivate yourself to reach the right path. Now, go read!
Books I Finished and Want to Recommend
I add books based on my own tastes, and I have favorites in both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction. There are lots more I could include, but I haven't gone looking for them. I didn't have this list before, and there are probably plenty of other lists recommending well-known books, so I haven't added them all.
Classics to Revisit When You’re in a Reading Slump
A great work is like running into an old friend: no matter how many times you revisit it, you find something new.
Oo Drizzle, Full of Tenderness oO
I only recommend books I've read myself.

Pretty Good (For Female Readers)
A mixed bag. I've read at least half of these, or finished them...
Recommendations for When You're Out of Books
I've been reading on Qidian for 10 years and have gone through over a thousand books. This list may not have many novels, but every one is recommended after I've finished it. They're all top-notch and worth checking out. If you like my recommendations, please follow and share!
My Bookshelf (Updated Regularly, Recommendations When I Have Time)
Classics, transmigration, and alternate histories
Female Cultivation Stories, Plus 1960s and 1970s Military Romance
These are all books I've read myself and enjoyed, a mix of Cultivation and military-marriage stories. Otherwise, there'd be too few Cultivation novels.
Xianxia Novels of All Kinds
Modern urban life, traditional ancient settings, turning the tables in another world, the apocalypse, and interstellar stories.
One Great Read After Another
Great books I've read over the years
I Enjoyed Plays in Ancient Times, Now I Delight in Historical Romance
I mostly enjoy historical romance, in all its forms, but I also read xuanhuan. Here are a few I can still remember! I'm too lazy to write reviews, so just trust me and give them a try!
The Romance and Adventure We Loved in Years Past
After crossing different bridges, meeting all kinds of people, and reading wonderful books, perhaps you'll finally come across the finest scenery.

To be honest, the male lead is really disgusting. He had feelings for the female lead and accepted his father's arranged marriage, marrying one principal wife and two concubines, and then treating his three wives like trash. I'm just curious, what did his wife do wrong? Why should he kill her, just to make room for the female lead? What did those two concubines do wrong?
Give Xiao Ju some face and come take a look at this book.
This is the first time I've seen a novel that's worse than a TV series.
The writing style of this novel feels rather strange. The overall feeling is not very dramatic, except for the last chapter, which evokes a great deal of emotion... Tens of thousands of years of pursuit, searching, and waiting can only be rewarded with a lifetime of companionship. How unfair is the way of heaven!
I read the author's books a few years ago and was quite impressed. But now, when I read these new books, I can't even finish a few chapters. I just can't get into them at all. First-person narration? Haha, I don't think it's because the author isn't used to it. I'm afraid it's just that the studio is ghostwriting it.
It's really a mess... I'm really grateful to screenwriter Hua Rong.
This is the first time I've seen a book whose original novel is worse than the TV series.
I saw this novel when it was first published in 2014 and loved it so much that I even bought a physical copy. Because of this novel, I became a fan of the author and read her other works. Honestly, apart from this one, I didn't particularly like any of them.
Is Ju Jingyi going to act in this drama? 🙂
I don't like writing stories in the first person; it feels a bit strange.
