Acquire Chinese from the comfort of your home
Four years of learning Chinese, I achieved this goal and finished the 2024 edition of 《天官赐福》at the end of July 2024. This edition was heavily revised from the original. While the overarching plots and side character backstories remained the same, many individual subplots were heavily altered.
Having read the new edition in Chinese, I slightly regret reading the English translation and wish it had been a different series that got me into learning Mandarin Chinese.
Longer webnovels are not the type of approachable content that I recommend to an intermediate Chinese learner because the length is often overwhelming, and the feeling of an endless journey could result in demotivation.
However, 《一不小心和醋精结婚了》is a longer webnovel that I would recommend for an intermediate learner and for many good reasons.
Read on to find out why.
A young prince has his eyes set on the crown prince’s personal guard, and he soon finds that life in the palace can’t be forever peaceful.
The most approachable Chinese historical webnovel that involves members of the royal family and the imperial court.
A cute, mostly fluffy, story about the love between a military general and a court minister. Their unexpected love started after an accidental encounter but soon the general discovers that it wasn’t an unexpected accident after all.
Wen Shi, the direct disciple of the founder of the school of PanGuan cultivators with a lost past and soul, emerged out of the Door of the Soulless for the 12th time. His collector once asked “You’ve already departed, why must you always come back to life? Is there someone you cannot let go of?”.
A very short hilarious story of two university students swapping souls for one day once a week. A great short webnovel for newcomers.
