No braindead stories. For every book I add, I reject about ten others. I've either finished or am following almost everything on this list. It mainly includes two types: historical, alternate-history, and urban stories, mostly witty, clever novels that broaden your experience and horizons; and sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalypse stories, mostly works by underrated great authors, chosen for their imagination and ability to help you unwind. I occasionally recommend high-quality wish-fulfillment stories, mainly as bedtime reading. I'll note that in the description.

Welcome to read the new book "My Father, Cao Cao, I Really Didn't Want to Seize My Own Son"! In the first year of Jian'an, Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou. The modern Shu black Liu Sheng traveled through time and became Liu Bei's eldest son. He was abandoned by his good uncle Zhang Fei in Xiapi City. In order to protect himself, he had to persuade his father to surrender. From then on, under the guidance of Liu Sheng, the Shuhan Group stood firm in surrender and betrayal every time... Huh? When did Lu Bu sneak into our group? In this regard, Liu Sheng must emphasize: "Losing means surrendering and betraying! Winning means making a strong man again!" "We are restoring the Han Dynasty to the former Han Dynasty, not the later Han Dynasty!" "We will be called Guanlong Group from now on!" "Fight the great clan of Guandong!" Since he is Shu Hei, Liu Sheng will naturally lead everyone on a difficult and glorious path.

In 1898, the Spanish-American War swept across Southeast Asia. Chen Feng narrowly escaped death from the whirlpool of a sunken ship. When he opened his eyes, he saw a land ravaged by colonists. The fate of the Chinese workers was like a piece of grass, the powerful gunboats blocked the sea, and the heads of our compatriots were hung all over the walls of Manila! The rise and fall have been deduced on paper for hundreds of years. This time, he will personally overturn this cannibalistic world! Spain clung to its old colonies, the United States coveted hegemony in the Pacific, France wanted to monopolize Indochina, Japan pursued commercial expansion, and Germany plundered industrial raw materials everywhere. The great powers restrained each other, but left a glimmer of hope for the Chinese. He holds the pen with his left hand and ignites the blood of 40 million compatriots with his words! Holding a gun in his right hand, the Free Army crushes the colonial myths of the great powers with iron hooves! When the 10,000-ton battleship split through the giant waves of the Pacific Ocean, the world finally woke up. The nation that was scornfully called the "sick man of East Asia" had already upheld the dignity of the Chinese!

This time, I don't ask about my grades, I only ask about my heart. This time I just want to write a book. This time I write about hope and the deepest dream in my heart. I really want to seriously travel through time and live in a dream. I am ordinary and mediocre, but my dreams are not mediocre at all. Before falling asleep every day, I will enter the space of my dreams, and live in that space bit by bit, inch by inch, starting from my bare buttocks, to create a dream space that belongs to me and belongs to everyone. However, this space seems more real and operable than any other space in my novels before. This was not originally an introduction to the book. The introduction I prepared was much better than this one. I just didn't know which drunkard who came home late outside the study was singing "Herding Horse City" and how many wives he had run away from. His singing was so heartbreaking. Somehow, it actually made me, a heartless fat man in his late fifties, burst into tears. People, the older they get, the less promising they are. Then, the introduction becomes like this. You just make do with it. If the book is not good, just scold me in the book review area. I still have the same habit and listen attentively. In addition, if you like the passion of young people, please read "Tang Brick", "The Wisdom of the Song Dynasty", "Silver Fox", "Hanxiang" and "Tomorrow". The books with the least subscriptions are more than 25,000, and the quality is guaranteed. This time, please allow me to travel slowly, happily, and with style. Sincerely, your old friend Jie 2

Disregarding life and death, focusing on prosperity and decline, the sea, rain, sky and wind come and go alone. Who doesn't think that the Great Wall will never fall down, but also can't imagine that the water will pass away and return to the sea.
