Qianshan Chake Writes So Well, I Can't Enjoy Any Other Historical Fiction
A few years ago, I read Shen Jiaojiao and Xie Jingxing's story. I just finished "The Grand Princess Bride" and got completely hooked. I don't feel like reading any other historical novels now. I'm also looking for historical novels with detailed palace intrigue and a deeply cunning heroine who takes revenge, like Shen Miao and Jiang Li.
Yu Buyu’s Books Will Truly Be Remembered for Generations
Looking for books similar to "A Joyful Life Together". I’ve reread "A Joyful Life", "The Ace Assistant: “Boss, I Don’t Want an Office Romance”", and "Possessive Over Jiang Xi" again and again, and I never get tired of them. Every line in those books is a classic.
Short, Completed, Sweet Stories

Any Recommendations for Books That Are Still Great on a Third Read? Historical Romance Preferred
I mostly read historical romances. I'm looking for something with good writing and plot that's complete.

Any Cozy Stories Without Palace Intrigue?
Noble Daughters of Great Clans, Born to High Status
Fewer scheming green tea types and white lotuses. It’s fine if side characters are reborn or transmigrate, but I’d prefer the female lead to be a native of that world.
Palace-Intrigue Story: A New Novel Begins
Looking for books like Schemes of Fengque: The Emperor's Consort Is Not to Be Trifled With. The female lead is a master of both medicine and poison, carefully maneuvering through the harem. The emperor and empress work together to overcome obstacles, with court intrigue and romance running side by side. The harem's affairs reach into the imperial court, with layers of twists revealing a shocking conspiracy. Every character is clever...
Looking for Good Historical Romance Novels
Looking for a purely historical romance novel. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious, while the female lead is his clever, capable principal wife. I want a story about household intrigue, with the two of them managing the family together.
I Was Born Noble. How Could Transmigration Compare?
I want a heroine who is a native of her world and puts her noble family and the nation's interests first. She doesn't base marriage on love, but on a powerful alliance. She's brilliant at strategy and a strong female lead. These days, it's always an ordinary woman who transmigrates, while the second female lead is a princess or noblewoman, and the daughters of great families get jealous and fight over a man. Honestly, it's so dumbed down.
A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman
I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.
Historical Romance: A Cool, Gentle Lady × A Spirited Young General
I'm really picky about what I read. I don't like farming or palace-intrigue stories. I want something sweet! Reborn or quick transmigration stories are fine, too. Most important is good writing! 😭

It's so good! It's so original! Usually, the female lead is a time-traveler, but this time it's the supporting female character who's a time-traveler—it's really interesting, haha!
Bai Lu's writing is truly superb! I absolutely love every single one of her works. The personalities of the princesses in "Spring Banquet" and "Peach Blossom Folding the River" are so fun. She doesn't try to portray these refined ladies as overtly humorous, but rather showcases their elegance and grace without losing their charm. I especially love the male lead later on.
Unlike other books, this time-travel story features a female supporting character who is actually quite wicked but still enjoys it. Not every time-traveling character is a good person; there should be all sorts of characters, which I really like!
I still feel sad every time I see some book reviews. Bai Lu's writing style and structure are so mature, why are so many people talking about this? I don't want to say much more, I'm bad at organizing my thoughts. I can only say that if you like fast-paced, exciting novels, don't say anything more, don't read anything more, just skip Bai Lu.
The writing is quite good. I've read many of Bai Lu's novels, and this one is quite enjoyable. The female lead is intelligent and doesn't rely on any special abilities, making her much wiser than the foolish modern woman, the second female lead. My only complaint is that the second female lead lives for too long.
Bai Lu's books are all excellent. Although the female protagonist is somewhat weak-willed, everyone has a different personality. What's wrong with being gentle, graceful, forbearing, and magnanimous? It's closer to real human nature. Of course, we love reading straightforward, action-packed stories, but that's precisely because such people don't exist in real life, and we can't possibly become…
It's a good story with two clean female leads. I really like the female lead's strong moral compass. She's an ordinary, traditional woman confined to her home in ancient times, calm and collected, never panicking or making a fuss. Many people call her a saint, but I don't think so.
It's rare to see this type of show; usually, the female protagonist is a time-traveling woman, so this is quite novel.
It was well-written, but really quite angsty. Although I finished it this time, I won't read this type of book again; it's too distressing. It proves that to survive well in a time-travel story, you still need to be smart.
This is absolutely amazing! Even time-traveling and reborn women can't beat native women! 😘
