So what is it?

This repository contains no code. It is a short curated list of Chinese mainland television dramas, written in Chinese and organized by genre. There is nothing to install or run. The list is divided into four sections. The first covers costume and historical dramas, including Joy of Life Season 2 (2024), Dream of Splendor (2022), Wind Rises in Luoyang (2021), and The Qin Dynasty Epic detective series (2024). The second covers contemporary urban dramas, including Thirty-Nine, My Altay (2024, an 8-episode series that received strong reviews), Hutong Family (2024), and The Ordinary Song (2024). The third covers mystery and spy dramas, including Kuang Biao (2023), Hidden Corner (2020), and Silent Truth. The fourth covers longer prestige dramas, including a poverty alleviation story called Minning Town, an ideological epic called The Age of Awakening, and a reform-era series called Great River Great Sea 3. The README also links to a Chinese streaming site where each title can be searched and watched. This is essentially a personal or shared TV drama watchlist stored as a public GitHub repository.
