Chinese epub not showing correctly

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum.

I am looking high and low for a way to read my chinese ebook correctly on a desktop or laptop.

The original ebook is chinese characters in vertical direction. When i imported i open the epub in Calibre it becomes rotated ....please see link for image...

What i have done is to tweak the book (explode, change style sheet and rebuild book) by changing the epub writing mode from vertical to horizontal as shown below.

body {
font-family: heiti;
margin: 15 0 0;
line-height: 100%;
text-align: justify;
-epub-writing-mode: horizontal-rl;
}

This actually works...but i can only do this one book at a time...to tweak a new book every time.

Instead of having to tweak every time, I would like to have the ebook open correctly every time. I tried applying the same stylesheet shown above inside the e-book viewer user stylesheet, but unfortunately it doesnt have any effect...the other books still open incorrectly...i have to tweak one by one which is too tedious as i have more than 100 of such books...

Could anyone help me on this?

Please help, i am a newbie, have been experimenting the software but still cannot find a solution...

Thanks in advance
