Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

I Want Sweet, Super Sweet, Extra-Extra-Extra Super Sweet Stories
I'm a very sentimental person, yet I can't help wondering why there are so many angsty stories. I cry as soon as I start reading, and then my eyes swell up. So if you know I only want sweetness, recommend me some sweet stories. I don't want even the slightest bit of angst. If that's impossible, the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest, tiniest bit is acceptable.
A Masterpiece Like Spring Banquet
A heroine who flirts with the hero until he gets all shy and tsundere, like in Spring Banquet. I absolutely love this kind of story.

It's alright. While not as good as "Spring Banquet," it's still better than other light novels. The author's writing is good, and I look forward to more excellent works like "Spring Banquet."
The writing is excellent, with humor and suspense. The male and female leads are a perfect match. "When will this cycle of revenge end? It's more like they're embracing each other like mandarin ducks!"
This cycle of revenge never ends! They're truly a pair of bickering lovers! This kind of relationship isn't fleeting or dramatic, but rather a gentle, enduring flow. Ahhh, it's so good! Bai Lu's books are so good, her writing is superb!
It's really good! I initially thought the synopsis would be a little angsty, but there wasn't at all; it's super exciting! Remember to wear a mask when going out. In public areas, you're often exposed to harmful viruses, so wash your hands frequently. Try to avoid crowded places to reduce contact with sources of infection.
I love it so much! The female lead is so cute and intelligent, and the male lead is the kind of person who says one thing but means another. The two of them together are so sweet it's making my teeth ache! And the male lead always protects the female lead, no matter what. He's handsome, rich, powerful, and adorable—help me, how can a male lead be so handsome!
Ahhh, I absolutely love this book! 📖 I forgot to review it after finishing it, so I'm doing it today. The female lead is adorable and funny, and the male lead is handsome and funny too. They're a bickering couple, mostly sweet and loving. The plot is great, and the author's writing is superb! 👍🏻 Five stars! ⭐
A normal couple in a normal relationship, the male and female leads are bickering lovers, they have good values and are clear-headed, it's sweet! The later parts are quite cheesy; the male lead is practically the author's favorite, and the female lead is incredibly frustrated.
Ah, finally finished watching it! The male and female leads in this story are like a bickering couple, haha. Although the female lead acts like a violent little girl, I think she's actually very soft-hearted and easy to coax. 😂 And the ending was pretty good too. It's a very interesting and funny novel that's worth reading.
It's been so long since I've enjoyed reading an entire novel in one go so much! I searched for ages to find one that wasn't too long and suited my taste, and this one is so good!! I was smiling like a proud aunt the whole time I was reading it. The bickering couple is so funny! The male lead is super handsome!! The female lead is cute but not a weak and helpless idiot. I love her to death!! I'm going to support the author!!! I love you so much!!!
This is the fourth book by White Egret that I've read, and I really like this one. The premise is also very novel; I've never seen anything like it before. Initially, both Du Weiyang and Wei Xianyuan had someone they admired. However, Weiyang's "white moonlight" (her perceived ideal man) was simply someone she, as a sheltered young woman with little experience with men, mistook kindness for love…
