You raised the banner of justice to eliminate dissent and turn right and wrong upside down... The history books you write will say that I swallowed everything in my path, threw my weight around, and oppressed the weak. Years from now, my strengths will be called flaws. Only those who found justice through my hand will remember my achievements.”, From the most celebrated collection of quotes 0Votes98.2kRecs181.3kFans

My name is Lin Qi, and I work at the demolition office. At the beginning of this year, I was put in charge of demolishing an old residential complex. One resident had a strange sign hanging by the door: “Green Leaf Paranormal Affairs Agency.” The house had been turned into an office, but it had long since been abandoned and was covered in dust. Inside the filing cabinets, countless documents and records were neatly arranged. Curious, I sorted through them and discovered a bizarre, terrifying wor

Xi Jiang's Personal Reading List
A middle-aged reader born in the 1990s, with ten years of web-novel reading behind me. I’ve read all sorts of books, so I’m keeping track of ongoing ones here. Completed books get removed! There are loads of books on my shelf, and sometimes I can’t even remember them all! Since I’m a woman who reads male-oriented fiction, you won’t find harem novels here! (If a book is truly exceptional, I’ll make a note of it separately.) 🅰️ Anyone have recommendations? It’s so hard to find books myself. Sin
Personal Bookmarks
This list is for my own bookshelf and personal reading, including books I’ve only sampled. My tastes can be pretty particular. I find books through daily recommendations, featured picks from both platforms, Sanjiang recommendations, friends in reader groups, and targeted searches for promising new works. If you’re looking for something to read, check out the ones marked as finished. I’ve put up some books I didn’t finish too, just because I had something to say about them.
