Picky Old Bookworms, Gather Here
The more books I read, the fewer I can stick with. What plot points or setups make you drop a book in one second?
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.
Stories With a Truly Free, Clear-Headed, and Rational Heroine
They don't fight over men. Their abilities extend beyond the narrow confines of their household. Palace and domestic battles always revolve around men, and whenever trouble arises, they think of relying on one man or another to solve it. They rely on themselves and take their fate into their own hands. They aren't lovesick or boy-crazy, and they live freely, making their own decisions.
Are There No More Books With Writing as Good as Yan Sanhe's?
I'm looking for books like *The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Hundred*. I've read all over the place, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction alike: palace intrigue, rebirth, cultivation, horror, comedy, CEO romances, detective stories, ghost hunting, the mortal and spirit realms, gods, golden fingers, you name it. I'm not into books that only obsess over romantic relationships. I love stories with a grand scope.

Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...
Everyone's No. 1 Historical Romance, The Kind That's Absolutely Stunning
Looking for Books with an Especially Alluring Heroine
Looking for the Best Real-Voice Audiobook Novels, One Recommendation Per Person
Looking for audiobooks narrated by real people, with good voice acting. I really don’t want to listen to AI narration. I can listen while doing chores or driving without interrupting what I’m doing. The best of both worlds: you can read or listen.
Any Novels with an Overwhelmingly Strong Male Lead and a Weak, Terrified Female Lead?
A romance where the couple marries first and falls in love later, with a strong hero and a weaker heroine.
Historical Romance Only, Childhood Friends!
Sweet childhood-friends romance in an ancient setting!
Laid-Back, Completely Go-With-the-Flow Protagonist
Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth
Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏
I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!
Looking for books like *The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her*. The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

Looking for Historical Novels With a Stunningly Beautiful, Delicate Female Lead
No dumb stories. I want characters who are at least a little cunning.
Ancient-Era Mystery and Crime-Solving
The Day He Takes a Concubine, She Removes Her Phoenix Crown and Four Maidservants Come to Escort Her with Hidden Guards
Any Stories About Domestic or Palace Intrigue Where the Female Lead Is the Official Wife From the Start?
Nothing with OOC background characters, and no silly, naive, doted-on heroines who rely on men. I want a story where the legal wife’s position is secure and she knows exactly what she wants. (I really don’t enjoy The Daily Life of the Mistress of the Household, so please stop recommending it.) I don’t like stepmothers either...
Looking for Great Books Rated 9.8, My Standards Are Too High. Any Genre Is Fine
Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).
Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core
No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.
Family Feud Stories Like The Story of Minglan
No Mary Sue characters or golden fingers. The female lead should be fairly intelligent. I only want family power-struggle stories, no palace intrigue.
Marriage First, Love Later!!! Historical Romance, No Rebirth or Transmigration!!!

It's good to watch, and a bit suspenseful. The male protagonist is a bit scheming, and the female protagonist is also a bit scheming. They are a perfect match. I like the heroine's character. Please update it soon.
Not bad! I like Master Shen, a sultry, scheming, smart male protagonist. Smart male protagonists dote on their wives! I like the heroine's character, she dares to speak and act, she doesn't cause trouble and she's not afraid of trouble! Smart girl is hurt! The author has great ideas and writing style! Come on! Update quickly! Not enough!
It's so wonderfully written. The writing is delicate and the plot is novel.
It's beautiful, the pace is tight, but the updates are too slow [I almost cried]
The first two chapters seemed like an ordinary house fight about pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Unexpectedly, two small cases were quickly solved. The organization was clear and the development was rapid. We are already talking about getting married. Looking forward to it.
The author has a rigorous conception and three correct views, and the characters have distinct personalities. Especially the tacit cooperation with each other to solve the case is very innovative, and each case makes people want to know the outcome. I read the ending without knowing it, which is amazing 👍
It's a very exciting ancient saying. I usually don't read serials, but this one, I keep following it, and I still spend a small amount of money💰 to update it. You just say it's exciting or not, right? Don't let the low score scare you, it's worth pursuing.
This article has a long foreshadowing, many reversals, and a lot of suspense to solve the case. It is very exciting. L I only think that the protracted description of the emotions of the male and female protagonists is too redundant. In fact, deep love can be expressed in another way. In short, it is still worth reading. A good book can really make people forget to eat and sleep.
It's very good. It feels very smooth and comfortable to read.
It's so beautiful. This is the most sleepless and forgetful book I've ever read. The structure of the article is clear and layered, and it perfectly reverses life. The description of emotions is also very delicate. The story of another village is very shocking. Thank you to the author for this wonderful novel that brings you a perfect experience!
