Pure Angst, With the Male Lead Tormenting the Female Lead!!!!!!
I want angst from beginning to end, not the kind where the leads love each other but still can't be together in the end. I want the male lead to love someone else and the female lead to suffer through pure heartbreak.
Looking for a Story Where the Heroine Has Given Up and the Hero Grovels to Win Her Back, Miserably and to the Bitter End

Please recommend historical romance angst stories, the kind that would take a whole roll of paper to soak up the tears, perfect for reading late at night. Hmm? 😎
Representative BE Novels About High-Society Elites
Looking for stories similar to "My Dear, Victoria Harbour". “Who gave you the heavens and the earth? Who shared with you a love as deep as the sea?” This is truly a standout short story about a powerful family, with a tragic ending. The enormous difference in social class and family status forces the leads apart. I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished.

Transmigration maid novels. She doesn't try to climb the social ladder, just saves money to buy her freedom. A little pocket dimension would be nice.
Historical Romance with a Maidservant Female Lead and a Chaste Couple
Begging for recommendations 📖 No one being reborn, no one transmigrating, and the leads must both be pure. Historical romance, with the female lead as a maid or handmaid and the male lead as a crown prince, emperor, heir, prince, or the like. Anything works.
Looking for Real Palace-Intrigue Dramas, No Need for Mutual First-Timers
I really don’t understand why people insist on both leads being virgins and still call it a palace-intrigue drama. If both leads are virgins, it’s not even palace intrigue anymore. Please recommend some real palace-intrigue dramas.

An Ordinary, Calm, and Clever Female Lead

The kind that makes your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ache from the angst, and the heroine still hasn't forgiven him.
Maid Stories About the Senior Maid by the Old Madam's Side
Nothing where the protagonist catches some big shot's eye. I just want a genuine maid novel, where she either stays a maid her whole life or buys her freedom and goes home. No one falling for her, just a pure maid novel.
Angst!! Maximum Angst!! Short Stories!! An Ending Where They Don't Get Back Together After Breaking Up!!
Period Novels Where the Female Lead Is a Maid and the Male Lead Is a Young Master or Heir
No palace maid stories, please.

First of all, I think this book is incredibly good, and it's very logical and realistic. It made me understand why people were criticizing the female lead. If anyone should be criticizing someone, it should be the male lead, right? Because in that ancient era where power reigned supreme, the female lead was just a maid with no system or cheat codes; she had absolutely no ability to resist.
It's super good! I usually don't read time-travel novels because they're all boring and similar. This one is different; the story is fresh and relatable. Other time-travel novels have heroines with unrealistically powerful auras, but this one is more to my taste.
As a bookworm of over ten years, this book... Has a unique structure... It's so captivating I can't put it down, both realistic and full of plot... The most ironic thing is that the author contrasted two time travelers... It just goes to show how different fates can be for different characters... She's just a lowly maid... Her life and death are in the hands of her master...
It's really good! It got so addictive towards the end, I just loved the chase and her escape, hahaha! The female lead should just run away already, hahaha! She seemed love-struck at first, but later all she wanted to do was run away. There's always a learning curve, right? Author, please update soon... I can't bear to watch anymore 👀 (Follow me!)
I was deeply moved after reading it. Unlike other time-travel novels with strong female protagonist halos, this one left me feeling only pathetic and indescribably melancholic. The female protagonist, caught in the corrupting influence of that era, was inevitably assimilated. She didn't even realize what was happening when Yu Yao uttered the word "ancient people."
If an ordinary person really traveled to ancient times, this would probably be what it's like. So realistic! Maybe the male lead will eventually develop some genuine feelings for the female lead, but perhaps the female lead has been there too long, or maybe she wasn't very bright to begin with, which led to this ending… The author really did a good job writing it.
This book tells the story of a time traveler (the female protagonist) from another perspective. In order to survive, she grovels and submits, ultimately leading to a hasty end... This isn't a typical female-centric novel, but it still manages to convey the struggles and helplessness of ordinary people in that era. 😢 Keep up the good work, author! 💕
The correct way to experience time travel is incredibly realistic. Sisters, if you accidentally time travel and are still in a lowly position, first, don't harbor any delusions; second, don't easily trust others; and third, adapt to local customs. Perhaps then you can survive.
The female lead is truly just a naive, innocent, and love-struck ordinary person. However, she's ultimately a naive time traveler, and she certainly can't comprehend the feudal society of ancient times. Seeing her close friends leave her one by one, her repeated despair, coupled with her desperate desire to escape, makes her foolish actions understandable.
It's really good, author, keep up the good work! To be honest, I was a little stunned by this ending. 🤦
