These Must Be the Only Two Books Rated 9.8!
Looking for a Completed Novel That’s Short, Really Short. The Shorter the Better

Found a Few Novels Rated 9.9 on Fanqie
Paranormal novels: Xiao Xu's trilogy. 1: I Am a Yin-Yang Master. 2: I Am a Female Medium. 3: I Am a Female Fortune-Teller.
Please Crush Me with a Gentle Male Lead! The Gentler the Better, Ideally in an Ancient Setting!
I've recently fallen for gentle male leads, la la la! But there seem to be so few in historical romance. They're mostly domineering, scheming, aloof, or sickly obsessive. I'm here to ask for recommendations!
9.9-Rated Masterpieces
Looking for books similar to I'm Not a Theater God. At first, I wondered from the title whether the Theater God was really powerful. Then… so many twists, and the logic is crystal clear. My brain couldn't keep up!
Household-Intrigue Stories with Proper Manners and Etiquette, Like Real Life in Ancient Times

The Principal Wife! The Principal Wife! The Principal Wife! No Romance, Just Financial Security

Any Good Novels That Are Already Complete?
Keeping up with ongoing novels is such a hassle. I want something I can binge all at once.
Pure Historical Romance: A Gentle, Composed, and Cunning Female Lead, and a Male Lead Who Isn’t Cold or Expressionless
The male lead shouldn't be the emperor, and the female lead shouldn't transmigrate or be reborn.
An Ordinary, Calm, and Clever Female Lead
The Female Lead Raises the Child Alone and Doesn't Want the Male Lead to Know
Please, No More Reborn Stories. I’ve Read Too Many
I want a modern-day romance. Anything else is fine. I've read too many rebirth stories and want a change of pace. Also, I want something sweet 😘
Looking for Novels Where the Protagonist Watches the Story Unfold Without Interfering, Just Lazing Around and Enjoying the Gossip
Any era is fine, including Qing-era romance. The protagonist transmigrates into a book and follows the plot without going out of their way to cause trouble or demonizing the original leads. Romance or no romance is fine, as long as the protagonist isn't love-brained.
Are There Any Captivating Ancient-Era Romance Novels About Business? I've Been in a Reading Slump for Ages
Any recommendations for stories about a strong female lead in business? I want something cerebral, serious, and ambitious in scope, not just a small-time venture.

Looking for Novels About the Lady of the Household! Please, I'm Desperate for Something to Read
Looking for books like The Main Wife's Daily Life.
Looking for a Historical Novel Where the Clear-Headed Heroine Treats Marriage as a Career
Looking for a Low-Key Farming Story Like The Wealthy Little Maid
I'd prefer a story with little to no golden finger, and not one full of scheming among wives and concubines. Something gentle and low-key, with farming and a sweet romance.

I really enjoy this book. It's 12:50 AM and I'm getting more and more awake as I read. I don't want to sleep, but I'm afraid my husband will wake up and scold me, so I'm sneaking around reading a little longer. A big thumbs up to the author! Excellent! 🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
The book is excellent and very enjoyable. The female protagonist is aloof and quiet, but decisive and composed in her actions, and kind-hearted, yet incredibly intelligent—truly enviable and admirable. I wish I had half her brains! 👍👍👍
This book is great; I love the female lead's personality. It's the best book I've read recently—so self-reliant and courageous.
A very good book. The ending was a bit rushed, but it wasn't as bad as some other reviews suggested. There were many funny moments and touching descriptions that brought tears to my eyes. Overall, the writing was good. Five stars.
Great! I really like the female lead's character design. Author, you're awesome! 👍👍👍
It's great! I love how the female lead is so carefree and detached, like Superman or Buddha, seeing through everything and letting go. She really did it! Haha, it was so satisfying to watch her deal with those bad guys. I haven't finished watching it yet, but I'll keep watching. Keep it up!
The female lead is very likable; she lives life with clarity, authenticity, and a down-to-earth attitude. The male lead is initially quite a jerk, but the female lead doesn't hold back either, acting decisively and without hesitation. A particularly funny scene is when the female lead sells the male lead to a male prostitute; the way she flips the money bag is hilarious…
This book is very engaging and makes you want to keep reading. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the female protagonist fares in the end. The plot is well-structured and logical. I really enjoyed it.
It's a good book. I read it once before, but I came across it again this time, so I read it again. I just love how simple and peaceful life is.
The plot flows smoothly and is very comfortable to read. It avoids excessive pampering and sweetness, the writing style is understated, and the plot twists are natural. It doesn't stray too far from the historical political and social customs of the time. I really admire the female lead's resilient character.
