Journey Through the Reading Universe: Qidian Cosmos
In ancient times, a Zen master once said, "Blow out the reading lamp, and your body becomes the moon." For years, the protagonist has collected a dozen books on their shelf, dedicating late nights to exploring each one. Within these pages lies a passionate and vibrant soul. In the bustling city, we don’t dive into these books to expect unrealistic life changes; rather, we seek to experience the world through the perspectives of the characters. We savor the richness of history and let the keen insights of authors and protagonists guide us on our journey, embodying the idea of "reading ten thousand books, traveling ten thousand miles."
Reading a cherished book feels like being in a relationship with a soulmate, as you bask in the harmony and connection it brings. This curated list of books comes from years of reading a wide array of genres, each one becoming more precious with thoughtful consideration. Each time you close a book, it offers new revelations and fresh insights. Every entry in this collection has been revisited countless times, making it a treasured compilation of literary explorations.
