I don't just read BL ok

(Updated: 10/10/22) My favorite BG novels- some are excellent, others just prove that my taste is not godly enough.

*No particular order; I don't like ranking*

I adore doting male leads regardless of subgenre. I also am a fan of the excessively rich & a sucker for entertainment novels. Cultivation novels are awesome too... if they don't span 1000+ chapters. Face-slaps are a must to quell my rage over light plot, cute buns make me want children, & I really like age gap

Eunuch x OP FL ... more>>

Come on, don't tell me your first thought wasn't: so how do they have s*x...? I don't think I've read eunuch-MC stories without them being BL, so to say I was extremely intrigued wasn't an understatement.

But it was REALLY good.

For one, our heroine is incredibly badass. She's basically a female version of the archetypical male character I enjoy- cold, apathetic, but will devote the entirety of his/her life & soul to the person he/she loves. I think we all have a soft spot for these types of characters tbh. Unlike other josei stories that claim to have a "strong female protagonist" only to have her bum saved by the OP male lead, our heroine in Qiansui is AWESOME. She honestly doesn't rely on the male lead; if anything, it's him that gets saved by her! It's pretty refreshing to read about a couple dynamic who has the power balance lean towards the female, especially in Ancient China (because come on, it's sexist China after all). So you can guess how the power play reflects during seggsy time... cough.

Our male lead is also interesting. He has a bad rep, everyone wants to kill him, and he pretty much has resigned to his fate of being despised. But after meeting MC, he finds himself battling his insecurities, loneliness, and the despair of having loved someone who ought to have a happier life without him but instead chooses to stay. It's incredibly bittersweet to go through his thought processes & he honestly cherishes MC as she is the only one who genuinely loves him, flaws & all. Before she was reborn, MC didn't have a purpose in life & merely survived without having attachments to anything. Seeing that in her past life, ML was the only one who regarded her as more important than his own life, she grew to have feelings for him. THESE TWO MAKE ME WANT TO SMOTHER THEM WITH HUGS AHHHHH!

I came to this novel just to sate my terrible curiosity but instead I got a lesson on love. How love transcends status, flaws, death even. Despite many obstacles, jeers from both ends, temptation, the main CP remains resolute & loyal to each other. It breaks my heart to see how the male lead was treated throughout this entire novel. But I felt that it was pretty realistic because technically idiots do exist. I thought the reactions & behaviors weren't too far from reality because power, status, & gossip can lead to very idiotic & muddleheaded losers. Not everyone will adore the main CP though, so take my words with a grain of salt. I think these two, in spite of their pros, have their share of cons in terms of how they handle each other. But considering their backgrounds, upbringing, & tragic experiences, I am not surprised they're imperfect. However, it still works. They both bring to the table something the other doesn't have.

TL;DR Not your conventional couple; true love triumphs all; yes she pegs him hahahahhaha <<less
