Our Girl Next Door 吾家阿囡
A heartwarming tale of Jiangnan, with little bridges, flowing streams, and misty rain. I hope it can be a sweet little rice cake for you to enjoy while relaxing after a hard day's work (or perhaps a glutinous rice cake, a white sugar cake, a little square of cream cake, a butterfly pastry...).

The Lord Has Returned 君归矣
This book began in May 2017 and was rewritten in April 2025. A note: This book has no romance pairing, no female emperor, a huge cast, and many long-running clues and plot threads. It's an unconventional, eclectic fantasy with a high barrier to entry...and all kinds of potentially frustrating elements rolled into one book. Also, the book is set against the backdrop of the Two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. The events and characters are all drawn from old records that Xiao Xian dug up.

Every Book a Classic, Not to Be Missed!
I stake my reputation as a seasoned bookworm on these titles: every one is a readable gem of historical romance! There are also some fantasy, supernatural, and cultivation novels with solid writing. You can't go wrong giving them a try ☺️ One thing to be clear about: I generally don't recommend books I haven't read. I believe you have no say if you haven't read it!
