I’m Looking for Some Old-School Novels, Thanks
I'm looking for older novels. Stories from back then had a special flavor, but I don't mean just any old novel. I want ones with sound values, sensible characters, coherent logic, and generally intelligent people. No old-fashioned, brainless melodrama with the heroine overcoming a disability, please. Thank you!

This was the first historical romance novel I ever read. The plot is very complete, the sentences flow smoothly, and the logic is very clear. I personally enjoy reading historical romance novels, but many of them start off well, only to fall apart in the middle. However, "The Eldest Daughter is Ruthless" truly met all my requirements. I started reading it in 2016 and have continued until now, four years into 2020. I've probably read it at least ten times. I highly recommend it to everyone.
I really like this book. The author's logical thinking is brilliant, the plot is intricately linked, the story is exciting and told in a captivating way, making it hard to put down.
Oh my god, this is my favorite book after reading it for five years! It was the first ancient romance novel I ever read, and it remains my absolute favorite! The author skillfully fills in the plot holes and adds so many details—it's truly amazing! The male lead is exactly the kind of male lead I've always dreamed of! I absolutely adore both the male and female leads.
This is my 15th reread. I really love reading this novel, it's awesome!
It's quite good, and the story isn't long, so it's not boring. I had a lot of fun reading it; there are many funny parts.
The plot is well-developed! It makes you want to keep watching and is quite engaging! It's just that the male lead seems to have too little screen time; he appears a bit too slowly!
I've already read it four times. Personally, I think the plot unfolds layer by layer. Although sometimes I get so angry at the female lead's actions that hurt both herself and the enemy, it doesn't detract from the book's brilliance. The ending is also quite satisfying. I wish the author continued inspiration!
Not bad, no medicine, no poison, no martial arts, but she plots her revenge step by step and wins the heart of a handsome man 🤭🤭🤭🤭
The earlier chapters were excellent and exciting, especially the revenge chapters, which made me want to shout "Beautiful!" The sweet romance between the male and female leads was so sweet it almost made us single people's teeth fall out. However, I didn't quite understand the later chapters; they were quite chaotic, with some chapters repeating previous ones.
The plot is full of twists and turns, always offering unexpected surprises; it's very enjoyable. I downloaded this software specifically to find this book.
