Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...
Please Recommend a Truly Strong Female Lead
So many novels these days dress themselves up as stories about strong women, but the female lead still ends up relying on a man. She starts off handling things herself for a few chapters, then meets a man even more powerful than the original male lead, and after that it's all kisses, cuddles, and being pampered. Quick transmigration stories do it too. I'm sick of it.

Strong Female Lead and Political Scheming! No One Acts Like an Idiot!
I don’t want a female lead disguised as a man! She should be unbelievably clever or have maxed-out combat skills. She could be a princess, a martial artist, or anything else. She shouldn’t rely on the male lead’s help. Using her own strength as a woman, she turns the situation upside down. The process can be difficult, but in the end she should achieve her ideals.

The Ultimate Palace Intrigue Heroines
I once read a palace intrigue novel where the female lead was a neglected concubine's daughter. To change her situation, she planned to perform a dance associated with the current crown prince's mother at someone's birthday celebration. But the emperor took a liking to her, and she schemed her way into becoming his most cherished favorite. What was this book called?

Not only are the male and female leads incredibly powerful, but what's even more remarkable is that they both have impeccable moral values. Having sound moral values is quite important to me when reading stories; if the protagonist's values are questionable, the story might become tedious to read!
One of the few shows where you can see the ending, it's not particularly long, the romance develops smoothly without dragging, and there's not much palace intrigue. The male and female leads are united against a common enemy, which is great. I especially love Yan Ze and Li Mo, haha, Yan Ze is just the goofy girl I like, hehe.
Wow, this is amazing! Give it a high rating!!! So sweet and adorable! Both the male and female leads are martial arts masters, and their intelligence and emotional intelligence are top-notch. I'm completely hooked! Thank you so much, author! I love it so much! 🥰🥰🥰
This book is really good! It's not finished yet, so there aren't many readers, but it's sure to be a huge hit once it's complete! Also, I hope the process of getting over the initial shock isn't too agonizing! ☺ I don't understand why such a good story has such a low rating 😫
The plot is good, but the female lead suffers several more attacks, including being chased, assassinated, drugged, kidnapped, and poisoned after arriving in the capital. It feels too tragic. The author should have been kinder to the female lead. Such an outstanding girl, yet her background and experiences are so pitiful, making the male lead feel incredibly sorry for her.
The female lead is incredibly powerful! She's much more compelling than the typical sweet romance novel heroines! I love intelligent female leads!
A friendship built on mutual redemption; Luo Yinuan and Su Qing both want to give to each other and hope that the other's hands are clean.
It's a very good book; I don't understand why the rating is below 9. The beginning was quite good, but the later scenes where the male lead was hugged twice by people other than the female lead were really unacceptable. The book clearly describes how high and powerful the male and female leads' martial arts skills are, but it's hard to understand why a highly skilled male lead wouldn't react…
This book is so good, why is the rating so low? You guys should come and read it for me right now. September 23, 2022. Finished reading it. It's not about time travel or reincarnation, and there's no scheming or backstabbing like in other dramas. Instead, a poison brings two people together ten years ago and together again.
This is one of the few novels I've finished reading so far. It perfectly meets my requirements for classical Chinese writing; it's truly enjoyable, without being overly long. Two or three hundred chapters is just right for me.
