Chinese books (especially fantasy/sci-fi)

I currently teach English in Beijing, and I'd like to read more books by Chinese authors. I'm mainly interested in science fiction and fantasy- I've read several works by Liu Cixin and thoroughly enjoyed them. I get the feeling that I wouldn't be as interested in realistic/historical fiction- I've rarely had success with those.

I know about the major novels like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'd like to read them someday, but I'm nervous that they'd be too 'heavy' for my social-media addled brain at the moment. I'm open to reading abridged versions, though!
