Pure Historical Romance
No transmigration, no being reborn, no 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).

In a story of three people, one of them always has to leave. I love Xi Mo's gentle, enduring love, and I love Zi Xi's profound love. The language is very ordinary, yet it always manages to touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes. Actually, the characters I felt most sorry for in the whole book were Zi Xi and Pei Huan.
This is the best novel I've ever read. The male lead's feelings for the female lead feel very real; it's a gradual development of affection, unlike other novels where it's love at first sight—where the male lead suddenly falls in love and becomes devoted to the female lead. I rarely give high scores, but this novel deserves them.
Wow! So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful! This drama is so sweet, it's sweet from beginning to end! Zi Xi is also deeply in love with the female lead, and even makes her son the heir to the equipment. Sigh, this love story is so damn sweet, it makes me lose my appetite. I'm stuffing handfuls of dog food into my mouth! Hahahaha!
Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree... The whole story is very sweet with no scheming or intrigue. It's normal and not off-putting that the female lead is outstanding and has many admirers, unlike some stories where the female lead inexplicably attracts one male supporting character after another.
I read it in one go, it was great! The male lead saw the female lead when she was 5 years old and knew she was the one. Their relationship grew up together without any scheming, and they eventually lived happily ever after. After reading so many time-travel or reincarnation stories, this one is a refreshing read. Thumbs up, highly recommended!
It's great! Zhao Ximo and Zhao Yike have such a wonderful relationship. It's enviable. Alas, Zhao Zixi ultimately didn't get Zhao Yike's heart. In the end, they had a girl and a boy. The female lead was a bit reserved when she first arrived at their house, but later she became quite the little master, living in men's clothing—that's wonderful. I support it, everyone should watch it.
Superb! I absolutely love the author's writing style. The author might not have fully mastered the first few chapters, but it's only a few chapters, so you definitely have to keep reading! Zhao Ximo's feelings for Zhao Yike are subtle and gradual; their love isn't dramatic, but rather a gentle, flowing stream. ♡+:｡.｡❣LﾛVЁ❣｡.｡:+♡
It's a great read! The plot is tightly woven and keeps you hooked! The male and female leads are also adorable. I really like this kind of refreshing novel, without so much messy family drama! I also love the childhood sweetheart theme!
This book has such a captivating plot, it's incredibly immersive, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the storyline is both moving and logical. I didn't want to miss a single chapter! It's so good, ladies, go for it! [Bookmark]
This is so beautiful! It's the first book I've ever been so reluctant to send by mail. (｡◝ᴗ◜｡)
