Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space
It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!
Novels With Super-Hot Female Generals, Please!
Looking for Pure Historical Romance, No Transmigration
Purely historical, sweet and romantic, with a good plot and a female lead who's not a naive airhead. A little angst in the middle is fine, but it needs a happy ending! Ideally, it would also portray the rigid class system of feudal society and the helplessness of living in that era.
I’m Out of Books to Read, Ladies! Please Help Me Add to This List! 😭
I want to make this very clear: please don’t recommend any angst-heavy stories. I cry easily, so nothing as heartbreaking as A Life-consuming Love. I really can’t take it!! I especially love sweet stories, the kind that are all sweetness and no angst!!! Please!!

Wonderfully written! It is in line with the ancient idea that men are superior to women. Monogamy did not exist in ancient times unless one was poor. I don't want the female protagonist to be with the male protagonist, and to abuse them as much as they want. I hope the heroine is happy!
The article is very attractive and makes people have the patience to read it, but I feel so sorry for the female protagonist. Alas, her status is too low, and the male protagonist is of no use. He will probably be tortured later, and the female protagonist may not be able to survive her pregnancy now. So distressed
The writing is quite interesting. The female protagonist is of low status, but the male protagonist pleases her in front of her and is funny behind her back. It is really a live treasure. The male protagonist's eyes are fascinated by the white lotus. He does not know what is good and hurts the female protagonist's heart. He is very happy to be abused from below. He asked for the abuse. The story is simple and smooth. It is fluent and in line with the ancient style. It makes people unable to stop watching it. I want to see the ending. 😂😂😂 It suddenly got stuck and I need to update it. The author, please come on and update it soon. 😘😘😘😘
I first saw the beginning of it elsewhere, and then I quickly came here to look for it. I was speechless at first because it was really cruel. I am a person with a high tear level, so I actually sneered at the previous part about the abuse of the female protagonist. I almost gave up on the article, but I thought the writing was pretty good, so I kept reading. Unexpectedly, the more I read, the more I felt like I was involved. I wanted to go in and slap the male protagonist or speak to him. Unknowingly, I caught up to now. Do you know how desperate I am when I saw it was still serialized?
The emotions of the characters are very delicately portrayed, and I read the first two hundred chapters without sleep or food. The heroine's subsequent revenge was a bit inexplicable and felt stupid and clumsy, and the early goodwill was almost lost. Even so, I still couldn't help but finish reading the update, who makes me love watching it. No matter how cruel the process is, as long as the ending is sweet, I will chase it to the end. Another sentence, really don't read book reviews, it will affect your judgment. I read the book review before and was about to give up, but I persisted and read it, and it turned out to be good. It's hard to agree with everyone else, just do what you like.
Waiting for the update, the halo of the protagonist in the novel is too exaggerated. This book is very special. Although I feel sorry for the heroine, it is also very realistic. Where is the origin? The male protagonist does not force the plot of being a couple for the rest of his life. Everything is in order. I had hallucinations recently, and I always felt that this novel was a drama I was following. Then I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and found out that it was a novel I was reading.
I like it very much. The psychological description of the characters is very delicate and very engaging, but it is too little. I hope the author will update it soon.
It's great. Except for a few big dilemmas that are really heart-wrenching and a bit deliberately tragic, most of them are well written, and the character descriptions are delicate and thoughtful. He Jin and Xiaoli are both good people, and they really have faith in their hearts and eyes... Anyway, 70% of the male protagonist's character is inferior to that of Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou is really risking his life in order to take on the responsibilities he thinks he should take, whether it is love, family, or the world, he can bear it and endure it. Only in front of Xiaoli, her emotional intelligence frequently drops. She is either like a straight man, or she is dumbfounded, or she meows and explodes, so it is really difficult to flirt with her 😂 By the way, our Sister Li is really well-executed. The Lord Marquis is in danger of death all thanks to our Sister Li👍🏻Our Sister Li is cute, smart, cute and handsome!
After fifteen years of reading, I rarely have the patience to read a book. The author's book is not the best in my opinion, but the eloquent writing style really attracted me to the end. The description of the supporting characters towards the end of the article makes me even more sad. Prince, Zhang Lang, Qing Ran, Qing Teng, every supporting character is so regrettable and heartbreaking. If He Jin hadn't been the male protagonist, the prince's excellence should be as good as his, right? The only shortcoming is probably that the ending is too hasty. Although it seems that the author tried his best to complete the narrative of the work, it also makes us readers feel unsatisfied. I always feel like something is missing. All in all, I am very happy that after more than ten years of reading, I can still find a novel that I can read and finish. Worth recommending! Great writing!
Maybe I've read too many Shuangwen. The concept of this novel is very new, the writing is very delicate, the characters are very vivid, and there are also some small actions of the male protagonist and the inner movements of the female protagonist. I think it is very interesting.
