Rated 9.4 or Higher, No CP. I'll Read Anything
I read all kinds of books, so recommend whatever. Just don't recommend books with terrible ratings in the eights. I only ask that there be a CP. Other than those two things, I'll read anything: schemes for power, transmigration, fantasy, horror, modern, historical, comedy, whatever oddball stuff you've got.
Palace Intrigue and Entering the Palace Through a Selection
Ancient-style romance. Transmigration or not, either is fine. Something that makes you think, where the female lead rises from a low-ranking palace position to a high one. The leads don't have to be each other's first.
I Don't Believe There Are Any Completed Masterpieces Rated 9.6 to 9.9

Not Both Virgins, Happy Ending, Palace and Household Intrigue
Since these are palace- and household-intrigue novels, don't recommend those idiotic stories that force both leads to be chaste only for the sake of it. The female lead should be smart, and preferably like the male lead without loving him.

Haha, the prince has so many inner monologues! So cute, such a charming contrast!! So good! Awesome! 👍
I think this book is super good (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ But there's a lot of explicit content hahaha. I think Shu Kui really loves Zhao Xi, and her love is so humble.
This book is quite enjoyable and not boring at all. It always offers a glimmer of hope during difficult times. It's a little bit risqué, but I found it very nice. The entire book is a sweet romance, and the male lead only loves the female lead.
The overall story structure is good, and the reading experience is acceptable. However, the individual short stories are not particularly engaging and feel rather bland. There's an excessive focus on the protagonists' intimate moments, which lack originality. All of these factors likely contribute to the low rating. The author needs to work harder; we look forward to more excellent works from them!
I absolutely loved it 😍, but it ended so abruptly, I hadn't had enough! I hope there will be epilogues, I want to read Zhao Xu's story. This is one of the few books I've read from beginning to end, without skipping anything or jumping straight to the ending. It's a very, very heartwarming novel, with many vividly portrayed characters, several of which I particularly like, such as Zhao Xu, Zhao Xi, Liu Qi, and Shu Kui…
If you enjoy serious ancient Chinese romance novels, you should definitely read this book. Now that I've read thirty chapters, all I can think of is the feeling of rewatching "The Story of Minglan." There's no Mary Sue, no cheat codes, just the heroine's hard work and dedication. The ending is also beautiful. On her journey from maid to empress dowager, there will be hardships, but more importantly, there's her belief in and courage in life.
There's a sense of accomplishment in nurturing a character, from a maidservant to an empress dowager. Kudos to the male lead for his doting love for his wife!
I really enjoyed the relationship between the male and female leads. Their mutual reliance, cherishing, and unwavering commitment to their feelings is a very appealing quality. What surprised me in the plot was how the crown prince actually changed for the better and successfully ascended to the throne. It was very satisfying to read, and surprisingly, there were no objections. Haha, this book is great, I love it! 😜
I watched the entire story and saw the female lead as very ambitious. She didn't become complacent because of the male lead's doting affection; she was always strategic, constantly absorbing new knowledge and progressing alongside him. She would cry in front of him like a little woman, and discuss political matters with him like a strategist.
Overall, it's a sweet and lighthearted story, not angsty at all. Compared to the various intrigues and schemes in other palace dramas, this one is relatively easy and simple. It's worth reading when you're looking for something to read. However, the part about the female lead's pregnancy is a bit exaggerated.
