Sweet Historical Romance, No Angst, Super Sweet
Finished Books Recommended by a Veteran Reader
Maybe I've read too many books, because I can't get into a lot of them and drop them after about three chapters. If I can finish one and enjoy it, it's definitely a gem worth sharing! I'll update this list from time to time. I've read every book on it myself, though I can't guarantee everyone will like them. 😍
Female-Led Career Story: Political Scheming, Nation-Building, and Fighting for the Realm in a Time of Chaos
I want to read something like *The Villainess Taps Her Wooden Fish, Gaining Merit Every Day*. Are there any stories where a clever, resourceful woman becomes emperor in ancient times and builds up the country, or becomes a female warlord in the Republican era, excelling at both diplomacy and warfare while plotting to conquer the world? Ideally, no romance 😃
I Found a Really Good Book Today.
I want books like Know No Evils: The Poor Scholar Really Is Poor.
I’ve Recently Gotten into Historical Romance, and I’m Out of Books to Read

Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth
Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏
I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!
Looking for books like *The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her*. The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

A romance between a sheltered young lady and a domineering prince.
Short Stories That Leave You Awestruck
Short but stunning novels, angsty, sweet, or historical in style. Around 10 to 80 chapters, or 20,000 to 100,000 words.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance!
Lately I’ve been looking for an ancient-era romance with realistic, detailed descriptions of everyday life, but it’s so hard to find. I don’t need some grand epic. I just want to read about the daily lives of women in ancient times.
In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊
I have high standards and don't like melodramatic plots. I'm looking for an ancient-era romance. Please avoid the trope where the male lead chases his wife after losing her.
Recommend Palace and Household Intrigue Novels That Are So Addictive They'll Keep Me Up All Night
Transmigration or rebirth is fine. I want clear writing and a plot on the level of The Legend of Mi Yue, with the women in the harem all scheming against one another.

After reading so many novels about palace fights and house fights, this one gave me a very different feeling. The heroine and the heroine's mother are both very powerful women who are calm in the face of danger. It is the first time I see an aunt who has her own power and trains her daughter very well. The character of the heroine is also very straightforward. I feel very comfortable reading the full text, but the ending is too fast (personal opinion)
It's good to watch, but I want to see what happens between the heroine's mother, Mo Lian, and the heroine's father, Lin Zhiheng (/≧ω\)
The smart heroine knows how to adapt to the living environment and how to turn adversity into good times. The heroine is the concubine of the prime minister. She was used as a tool by her sister-in-law to give birth to children and remove the mother to keep the children. A thing that the prince thought was used for entertainment at first. Along the way, there was no grandeur, no heart-thumping, no majesty, no righteousness, and only thin water, step by step, calculating people's hearts. Not only did she become the supreme queen, she also became the only woman in Zhao Xuan's heart. When her legitimate son was born, he was named "Ming" by Zhao Xuan to signify that the sun and the moon shine together. After the heroine entered the prince's palace, her journey was basically smooth. This was all inseparable from her aunt's upbringing and advice since she was a child, Doctor Zhang's fatherly protection, the prime minister's father's advice at critical moments, and Zhao Xuan's constant protection and love. The male protagonist in this book is really good, affectionate, kind, easy-going and has a bottom line. Personally, I feel that the plot of this book and the heroine's thoughts as a little woman are slightly similar to "Gong Shu".
Although I have only read Chapter 14, I really can't help but want to come over and give it a good review first. I have been looking for a book for a long time, and it was always about time travel and rebirth. I finally found the Lord who is pure and ancient. Like+N Everything about the writing is very good. I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, it's worth reading. I'll wait until I finish reading it, and I might want to read it a second time. Hehe
Ahhhh~! I really love the heroine of this article! Aunt Lian is definitely the best biological mother of the female protagonist I have ever seen in Gong Douwen! Both mother and daughter have absolutely top-notch IQs. They are guaranteed not to be holy mothers, nor have any naive ideas of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", nor are they stupid enough to form alliances and truly trust the "sisters" in the family. In short, this is the most conscientious Gong Douwen I have ever read. I really love the heroine and the heroine's biological mother!
This book is quite good. Basically everyone has an online IQ. 1. The heroine's mother is really the biggest highlight of this article. The heroine has also learned 99% of her mother's skills, and she has tied the male protagonist's body and mind step by step. 2. When the heroine's maid sacrificed for her later, I felt that the previous heroine was not ruthless enough. After thinking about it, people have to grow up slowly. 3. I just feel that the ending could be written a little more. It would be better if there are more children and a happy ending. But this ending is not bad.
I think this book is very well written. It gives people a very upright outlook on life. The years are quiet and the water flows slowly. It seems calm but it doesn't just feel calm. Moreover, many people say it is unfinished. Why don't I think that writing this kind of article requires real financial skills? Not everyone can write it. I like this kind of feeling. I actually hate harem stories, especially when the male protagonist is the emperor, but this one never gave me this feeling. At the end, the male and female protagonists meet in the next life. Maybe this is the best form of love. It also leaves people with a lot of thoughts. I like it very much~
The heroine and the heroine's mother are really very intelligent and emotional, and there is no abuse. It's great. I strongly hope that the author will write about the struggle history of the heroine and her mother. I hope Sister Lian will start a class.
The heroine is really talented and has a high rank. The main reason is that she has a smart and wise aunt. After reading so many Gong Douwen, it is rare for the heroine to have a mother who is not a hindrance and even has a higher rank than the heroine. Overall, she is very good.
It's really good to watch. A very wise mother has raised a smart female protagonist. The male protagonist, the emperor, is also very good. I like it very much.
