A Book as Good as the Highest Virtue 上善若书
These days, being widely read doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a bright future, so she decided to follow her heart and become a librarian. She arrived in a very ancient past that was not quite like the one she knew. Books were still made of bamboo slips, printing had not yet spread, and everyone treasured them.

[Three Thousand Loves, One Fatal Drop; A Beauty Makes Heroes Bow] Complete An old saying goes: “Heaven envies beautiful women, and the strong are easily broken.” So for someone as resolute, talented, and breathtakingly beautiful as her, the first lesson in life is to keep a low profile and act weak, doing her best to make herself look like a harmless, delicate little flower.

Women’s Fiction So Good You Can’t Put It Down
I registered on Qidian in 2005 and became a high-level VIP member in 2008. That's ten years as a VIP, not counting the three years before that.
