A Young Official in the Tang Dynasty 唐朝小官人
Wu Zetian had just ascended the throne. In Luoyang, a thousand years ago, scarlet peonies bloomed in full glory as the sun rose, scattering the morning light. Beneath all that splendor lay yet another round of bloody slaughter. Qin Shaoyou arrived, then smiled. “Give me a cleaver, and I can conquer the world.”

The Dashing Young Master 公子风流
He transmigrated into the body of a dissolute young master who knew all about romance and the ways of love. He couldn't play an instrument, but he knew how to woo a woman. Unfortunately, he ended up in the emperor's personal guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Well, the pressure was immense. He'd have to put his conscience aside for now. His real job was to pick up a weapon and call a deer a horse. “The day I don the flying-fish robe and wield the embroidered spring saber will be the day I ris

In short, Young Master Zhang really is an exceptionally good man: a perfect gentleman and a true moral paragon of the Great Ming! Of course, no one is so talented that he escapes envy. No matter how good Young Master Zhang, the top scholar Zhang, may be, there will always be narrow-minded, twisted, ill-intentioned, ill-mannered petty rats who slander and defame him at every turn. At the very least, not a single Jurchen or bondservant can stand the sight of Young Master Zhang. Why? Because our Yo

Brocade-Clad by Night 锦衣夜行
I was everywhere during the Jingnan Campaign, the reduction of the vassal princes, the capital’s relocation, the compilation of the great encyclopedia, the campaigns against the Mongols, and the expeditions to the South Seas, yet no one knew I was there. The whole world fit in my sleeve. I walked unseen in brocade, keeping a low profile. A low profile was the way to go. A convoluted line of inheritance and a fate passed down through generations, one over which he had no control, set the stage fo

A Veteran Speed Reader
An older bookworm who's a bit of a nerd. I first encountered a novel in 1999, Investiture of the Gods, but couldn't understand it. I thought it wasn't as good as the TV series, so I dropped it. In 2003, I finished my first novel, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and I was hooked. I've been reading novels for fifteen years now. My collection may not be the most classic or the best, but it's worth a look.
