The Blood of Mercury

Since 2005

Please note: I almost never read books all the way to the end. I usually drop them at around one million words, depending on when I catch up with the updates and how quickly the author posts. So I only vouch for the first half of a book.

Mostly Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Gaming (I)

A selection of books I think are well written. They may be niche or mainstream, but they should all have a distinctive style or something that sets them apart.

Hidden Gems for a Light, Fun Read! Why Not Follow? (^▽^)~

I've been reading for over a decade. The first novel I read was probably Journey to the West. I was thrilled back then when I read Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Later, I dug through old books to find wuxia novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Huang Yi, and Wen Rui'an. And even The Legend of the Swordsmen of the Shu Mountains by Huanzhu Louzhu. After that, there was no turning back. I started reading web novels around 2003. I remember starting with Jade Dynasty. A

[The Old Ones’ Library] Single Heroine or No Heroine: Great Reads Recommended by a Veteran Reader

These are all books I have read myself, covering all kinds of genres. The ratings are low because I used time-limited reading passes on some books in the past, and financial constraints prevented me from finishing others. Even so, the free chapters were enough to show that they were good works. I simply want to recommend the books I enjoy and help more people discover these wonderful works. Some books that have already disappeared are recommended at the bottom of the list description. Please scr

Beneath the moonlit trees, tenderness flows like water. Dew softly moistens the leaves, lending the air a delicate, hazy beauty.

A Variety of Styles

Reading is enjoyable not because of what an author tells you, but because it makes you think. As your imagination races through an author’s book, your own thoughts may go further and be more detailed than the author’s writing. You don’t just learn about the world and experience the author’s life; you also come to know yourself anew. But reading can only be a pleasure if you approach it sincerely. If reading makes you more noble, wise, kind, and refined, it will no longer feel like a burden!

Shi Jing Zhe Shi's Reading List

Reading is an art that lets us enjoy life. I love settling down on a sunny afternoon with a cup of fine tea and a book in my hands, savoring the aroma of the tea and the fragrance of the pages as I turn each word and sentence over in my mind. The sunlight falls gently, warm and heavy, seeping through my skin and into my blood.

Novels I've Read

Books are the key to the door of success, the steps leading toward the light, treasures that inspire people, and friends who accompany us as we grow.

Old and New Stories to Enjoy

For those with unusual tastes

Books with No Romance or Only One Couple

No romance or one pairing These are books I like, mostly completed. They're satisfying stories where the protagonist doesn't suffer needlessly. I'll mark ongoing books. I like following several different genres at once to balance my mood and keep plots from blending together. I might pair an intense killing spree with a farming story, clear-cut love and hate with emotionally detached characters, or sorrow and anger with a warm, healing story. If I've tried a book and enjoyed it, I'll add it here
