That’s right: this is a story full of zest and contradictions. The late Ming, Jiangnan, and the splendor of a world on the brink; the refinement of "The Roots of Wisdom" and the vulgarity of "The Plum in the Golden Vase"; an old monk in business and a famous courtesan worshipping Buddha.

Lord of Mysteries 诡秘之主
Amid the tide of steam and machinery, who can reach the extraordinary? In the fog of history and darkness, who is whispering? I awoke from the mysteries and opened my eyes to see this world: Guns, cannons, battleships, airships, difference engines; potions, divination, curses, the Hanged Man, Sealed Artifacts... Light still shines, and the mysterious has never left. This is the legend of th

- 3 Geomancer 地师 Youfang is a drifter in Beijing. He once sold pirated discs in Zhongguancun and ran a stall at Panjiayuan. Born into one of the Eight Sects of the Jianghu, he learned the ways of the underworld at a young age. He was particularly skilled in feng shui and geomancy, though he never believed in the supernatural. The first time his conscience was stirred was when he set out to avenge an elder. He posed as a feng shui master and infiltrated a tomb-robbing gang, hoping to find a chance to strike. Inst 5Votes806.6kRecs742.3kFans

Human Desire 人欲
I drink deep of the world’s bitterest poison, and dream of a blade that lays the mortal world to waste. Through countless trials, who can earn a smile? The immortal’s trail vanishes, their feathered robes fluttering away. If the human heart could be read, how much raging desire would it reveal? Xiaobai has a pair of extraordinary eyes. They let him see things moving at incredible speed or far away, and even glimpse the truth hidden in people’s hearts. If you can see through other people’s desire

Ghost Stock 鬼股
The emerald sea and azure sky lie beneath a deep night, Why ask if the moon waxes or wanes, if fortunes rise or fall? A clear, sharp mirror of frost holds a pure reflection, A bright, polished ice vessel washes a heart clean. Among the flowers, tears fall, yet I raise my cup; Beneath the moon, an oriole sings, and I set my zither aside. In the shade of the parasol tree, I sigh for the noble one, His graceful bearing leaves me moved beyond words. What sort of person is he? Though he possesses no

Gu Dao's Immortal Life 顾道长生
I thought this was going to be a realistic urban-life story, but then the setting changed without warning! Spiritual qi revival, the return of Taoist arts: this is probably a story about modern civilization transforming into a cultivation civilization. This book still takes its time.

Long Completed Novels, Your Cure for a Reading Slump
We all know how hard it is these days to follow a book all the way to the end. A lot of people would rather wait until a novel is complete before reading it. My other list, “Seedling Maniac,” has more ongoing novels. This one is for completed older books that overflow from that list, as a companion list. The quality bar is: mainstream genres must be at least solid, while niche genres must at least be decent. Self-recommendations are welcome.
