Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.
Historical Romance With Beautiful Prose and a Big Imagination
Something like Misty: The Lantern-Bearer Volume or The Old Grass of Zhao Xi.
Looking for Stories Where the Male Lead Tries to Seduce the Female Lead, But She's Too Straightforward to Catch On
I want to read books similar to "Sweet! The Aloof Beauty Becomes the Everyone-Loves-Her Star of a Boy Group Survival Show." Please recommend one where the male lead seduces the female lead, but she is very straightforward and completely oblivious.
Niche but Really Good Novels
Does anyone have a novel that hardly anyone else has read, but that means the world to you and holds an irreplaceable place in your heart?
Standalone Mystery Cases, Deduction, Lots of Cases, and No System

Trade Books You’ve Read for Ages and Don’t Want to Delete
Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂
I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.

Books That Can Hold the Attention of a Veteran Reader of More Than Ten Years
Can anyone recommend a novel for a reader who's been at it for ten years? I want something I can stick with. I've already read most of the topics in today's novels, and I can't get through more than ten or twenty chapters. I'm having such a hard time.

Handicraft Masterpieces!!!!!!
I'm begging for stories with a crafting expert as the protagonist, preferably about spiritual qi revival or high martial arts. The protagonist should make their own gear, with a sci-fi slant. Anime-style equipment is fine too. They should build and upgrade their own gear!!!!!!!!

It can't be buried. I accidentally opened it and found that I couldn't get out. It's my favorite style. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and lively, and the characterization is wonderful. The only flaw is why I met it at this time, it didn't! Over! Knot! ! !
La la la~ Tao'er is back with a new book~ No abuse of the protagonist, no bullshit, the career line of the heroine is the main focus, a story from a village girl and little carpenter to a court official~ My favorite fairies, thank you for supporting me [Love] [Love] [Love]
It's very interesting. The heroine moves forward step by step, and her mood and scheming methods gradually increase with the passage of time. My family is also reliable and I don't have any super relatives. It's very comfortable to watch!
I was really surprised, very exciting.
Really, it opened the door to a new world for me. Gu Yan doesn't pay much attention to romance. In fact, when I read Gu Yan novels, I usually just read romance novels, but this one is really good. The male and female protagonists have online IQs. Although there are not many emotional parts, it is still very interesting. No, it seems a bit unfinished. It was said at the beginning that the heroine's father is not dead, but he doesn't appear in the back. Why is there no trace in the back? Moreover, the hero and heroine didn't have much after they got married. She just became pregnant.
It looks good, it looks good, it would be better if it were fatter [blowing kiss]
It's so wonderful. Each heroine written by Tao has a different character, but they are all expressive, and the themes are novel, not cookie-cutter. The layout is large, the ideas are very new, each character is portrayed in detail, and the scenes described are easy to immerse in! The most important thing is, I always feel that I like Tao's three views very much [love] [love] [love] [love]
Love this work. The writing is smooth, relevant and humorous, and the characters are vivid and lively as if they were standing in front of them. The male and female protagonists naturally stand out. The supporting characters, such as the maid, the guards, the kidnappers, the hunter guarding the warehouse, the Jiang family, the Yuan family and the Qi family who only appear once or twice, and other supporting characters, are also lively as if they are laughing and walking in front of them. The extra chapter allows us to re-understand a character from different perspectives, analyze the psychological journey, and make the character flesh and blood and fuller. The author is great! Hope to see better works.
The last episode made me cry. The logical coherence of the whole text is very good, and the world view is also very complete. It can be seen that the text is written seriously, and the story development is also reasonable. Each person's image becomes more and more detailed and complete as the plot progresses, and many foreshadowings can also arouse my thinking and speculation. In the end, the extra stories will complete the doubts and missing corners of the main text. Several extra stories can be published separately. Wang Zichuan's madness is so exciting. Even if I read it again, I will always think of him as Wang Tiechui... In short, it is a novel worth reading.
Good looking. The characters have a growth process and the storyline is exciting. The female protagonist Jiang Qiao is smart and lively, while the male protagonist Yan Yuan is calm and witty. The two have three correct views, attach great importance to love and righteousness, and are neither pedantic nor imprisoned by the world. What's rare is that the relatives around the hero and heroine are also clear-headed and reasonable, not weird. Even the emperor is relatively normal (although he pretends not to be serious and loves gossip), which is very comfortable to watch. From this perspective, this is a refreshing novel. There are extremely smart people in every article. The heroine, judging from her upbringing environment, should be born, or given by the author; the heroine's father, Jiang Hetian, is perfect, and he has an insight into human nature to pave the way forward. His wife is so amazing. There is also an organization (family) in this article that is unbelievable in ability, yet selfless and caring about the world. Under the pressure of the emperor's suspicion, it carefully serves the people and hides its merits and fame. There is also a very, very smart person, Wang Zichuan, who was born as a butler. He is so smart that he can manipulate the Four Kings, Taifu Yu, at the palm of his hand. He is responsible for at least half of the storm. He is also extremely powerful.
