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.

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).

It's really good! It's the first book I've read to the end recently. The tug-of-war between the male and female leads... It's so captivating! 😏😏 It's not particularly long either. It's truly a treasured novel that I cherish dearly. 😳😳
This novel is written in a very old-fashioned style, 😍 it gets better and better the more you read, it's so captivating! I hope the author updates more often, it's really good! I'm already reading another novel by the same author, and to be honest, it's really to my liking too 😘😘😘
It's so incredibly good! I hope the author updates more often! I love that the female lead is such a woman who knows what she wants. She's very clear-headed about what kind of person she's suited for, which is great. She comes from a humble background but plans for herself, knowing she's not worthy of marrying into the Duke's mansion and changing her target – that's incredibly clear-headed. I don't know why I love reading this kind of story, haha, it's really good! 😘😘😘😘😘😘
A brilliant and accomplished nobleman, a man of exceptional talent and virtue, versus a beautiful, intelligent, and clear-headed merchant's daughter. A tale of intense tug-of-war, forceful pursuit, and relentless chase ensues. The arrogant and cunning nobleman ultimately falls deeply in love. With his sharp tongue and quick wit, he relentlessly pursues and protects his wife, leading to a loving and lifelong union. It's incredibly good, exceptionally good, truly excellent.
This is a very good read. The story is captivating, and the male and female leads are very well-developed, especially the female lead's natural emotional transformation later on. She doesn't simply forgive the male lead after he discovers her feelings and starts showing her affection; this makes her character stand out.
I really enjoyed this story. It's one of my favorite forced-possession novels. The female lead is beautiful, intelligent, and not a saint or a naive girl. The romance develops gradually, step by step, making it truly captivating. A worthwhile read, and there's even some steamy content! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really, really loved it! This is the first novel I've ever truly finished reading on Tomato Bookstore. I waited for the author's updates every day, and watching the male lead transform from arrogant and sharp-tongued to loving the female lead to the point of obsession was incredibly moving. It felt like witnessing someone else's love story.
So far, the female lead is very clear-headed and ruthless; she's not exactly a kind character. To be honest, I don't particularly like either the male or female lead's character designs, but the author writes so well that it's incredibly addictive. I really like the female lead's competitive yet indomitable spirit. The male and female protagonists in this book have very different social statuses.
Very exciting. It's been a long time since I've read a novel from beginning to end, and I'm already following it even though it's so short. The female lead is beautiful and resourceful. Although the male lead is a bit domineering, he only treats the female lead, not others, which is very much to my liking.
I eagerly await each update, hoping the author will continue to create amazing content. The characters are all well-developed and vividly portrayed. The scenes between the male and female leads are truly captivating. Furthermore, this book really focuses on the main characters without any dragging. Looking forward to [more updates!]
