What's With Tomato? Every Heroine Is a Comedic Character. Give Us Something Different
Guys, the female lead in an entertainment-variety-show story has to be funny. Are there any stories where the female lead isn't a comedian but is really strong? It doesn't have to be about the entertainment industry. My poor uncle is in a reading slump 😭
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance, the Kind You Can't Skip a Single Chapter!!!
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.
High-Quality Historical Romance Novels!!!
Something like "The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus", "Attack Jade", or "How Is This Proper"? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.
Political Intrigue and a Big-Picture Female Lead!!!
I want a female-led story with a grand scope. A male lead is fine, too. Please, I’ve run out of books to read. It needs to be well written!

First, I'll give myself a good review. Stable updates are guaranteed, so don't miss out!
This is the best book I've ever read; I cried buckets when Shen Shuo died.
I watched it all in one go. It was really good, the content was exciting, and the viewers were intelligent. It's just that there wasn't enough time to watch it all.
The novel is quite good. Love that develops gradually is the only way to last… There are no cheat codes or complicated processes. The female lead not only possesses stunning beauty but also high emotional intelligence, which gradually makes the emperor yearn for a lifelong, monogamous relationship…
I absolutely love it! This is the best palace intrigue novel I've ever read! The female lead is incredibly intelligent at all times! And every character is so vividly portrayed! This is definitely my number one palace intrigue novel! 🥰🥰🥰 I hope the author keeps updating! It's truly amazing! Keep up the good work, author! 💪
My darling, my absolute darling, it's so good! I was completely engrossed in it, I couldn't put it down, and I really didn't want to finish it. I loved it so much, I spent the whole night reading it, I even stayed up all night! The author's writing is truly excellent, I love it to death! (๑°3°๑)
The character of Nanbowan in my mind kept me reading. Every character was vividly portrayed, and I really loved it. It's the only book that I had such a strong urge to keep reading! 😆😆😆😆 This is so well-written! After finishing this book, I've become more picky about palace intrigue novels 😢😢 It's a pity that good books are always being serialized.
Give it five stars and let the author update more often. This book is really good!!! The female lead is clear-headed and intelligent, while the male lead seems affectionate but is actually ruthless. He controls everything, except for the female lead and his heart. In short, this is a pure palace intrigue novel. If you're a sister who's interested in palace intrigue, this is definitely worth reading.
Although this book is truly, truly excellent, with a fast-paced plot and vivid descriptions. But!!! A bad ending warning!!! Shift hasn't finished a novel in ages, and until the last few chapters, I never imagined it would end badly. It's like falling into a trap, getting caught in it, and then getting hit with a devastating blow! I'm so heartbroken!
It's seriously amazing! This is the best harem novel I've ever read. But oh well, I just can't remember all the characters. Sisters looking for something to read should definitely check it out! It's not a virgin story; the female lead is very clear-headed, and the male lead spoils her a lot later on.
