Historical Romance: A Cool, Gentle Lady × A Spirited Young General
I'm really picky about what I read. I don't like farming or palace-intrigue stories. I want something sweet! Reborn or quick transmigration stories are fine, too. Most important is good writing! 😭
Really Great Historical Romance!
Hey, cuties, do you know any really good historical romance novels with beautiful writing? I'm in a reading slump lately. Thanks for the recommendations, sweeties! OvO Sending love.
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.

Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste
Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Pure Ancient-Style Stories, No Transmigration or Rebirth
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).
Power Plays, Scheming, and Brainy Strategists
Become my pawn once again. I will win this game, even if the gods themselves stand in my way. I will beat them by half a move.

Overall, the writing is quite good and the storyline is very continuous. The only shortcoming is the lack of extra chapters and the lack of follow-up between the young master of the Jiang family and the girl of the Wen family.
The whole article has a lot of calculations and is very interesting. The only regret I have is that there are no extras! ! ! ! Wow wow wow wow, I really want to watch the extras! ! ! !
The pace is very good and not sloppy, but there are many confusing characters' names in the article. The final ending unfortunately does not bring a perfect ending to Wen Churan and Jiang Guiwan...
I want a side story about Jiang Guiwan and Wen Churan! ! ! !
I really like the pairing of Jiang Guiwan and Wen Churan. Please give me a follow-up [shy][shy][shy]
How can I put it this way? The content of the novel is progressive and quite interesting. I had no patience at all when reading novels before, and I didn't want to read it after reading it for a while. The content of this novel is very attractive and I insisted on reading it all [laughing]. The content is relatively novel. Although the Witch Kingdom has repeatedly caused trouble in the Southern Kingdom, the people sent from the Witch Kingdom to the Southern Kingdom to work as spies are also patriotic. Concubine Wan, who impressed me the most, is the princess of the Witch Kingdom. As a princess, she must be very happy in her own country, with rich clothes and fine food. He was accompanied by his family, but in order to complete his mission, he left his hometown and stayed in the Southern Kingdom for so many years. He married and had children with the Southern Emperor. I admire them very much. Hua Ya... Etc. Are all great people. Although they are all villains, I still admire them for their patriotism. I cried when I saw Xiao Fuzi desperate to save the heroine, and Eunuch Fang asked him to ride a horse to go there. I was really moved by such a little person. The male protagonist secretly came to see the heroine, and the heroine kept shouting, let him come out. The heroine cried hoarsely, and this made me cry too. They all loved each other so much. It's time to talk about the male and female protagonists. What impressed me the most was that the male protagonist risked everything for the female protagonist, pointing his sword at his relatives in the palace. The male protagonist here loved the female protagonist miserably, and they also underestimated their position in the male protagonist's heart. It was so exciting. And those cute old guys, hahahaha. Fortunately, the ending was perfect [blowing kiss]. The author is great [like]
I have been reading this book off and on for a long time, and I finally finished it today. Overall, I think it is quite good. The male and female protagonists are brave and resourceful, handsome men and beautiful women, not silly but sweet. Everyone's identity is quite surprising. There are a lot of foreshadowings. In some places, the author did not write in detail. In addition, there are many typos. The reading process is actually not very pleasant. The biggest highlight of this book is that not only the male and female protagonists are perfect, but there are also many couples. I can already imagine how lively it will be when they get together. Looks good enough to be fooled
I want extra stories about Jiang Guiwan and Wen Churan
I almost thought it was hard to get over it, but luckily it wasn't be. The plot is very compact and interlocking. I am moved by the mountains of kapok, and I am proud of the matching abilities of the male and female protagonists. Get rid of the kind of plot that is purely about strong men and weak women or strong women and weak men. There is no malicious insertion of a third party for the sake of the plot to destroy this pure emotion. Let readers sincerely feel that their journey was not easy, but the ending should be beautiful and picturesque. I sincerely hope that Ayou and Yun Zhi, who are in parallel time and space, can live their lives happily and stay together till the end of their lives.
Because I was very excited after reading the later chapters, I really wanted to see the ending and want to know how it turned out. Now I don't know if it's because I didn't read all of it or because I didn't write it all. I don't understand it a bit. The first is Sake. She initially worked for Xia Tang, also known as Wen You, but why did she rebel later? As Wen You said, she was a native of the South. Why did she rebel in the end? Then there was Xiao Fuzi. Later we found out that he was killed by blood, but didn't he run away after the battle with Wen You and the others? What happened next? Where have you gone? Later, it was written that the person who held A Gu hostage was the newly appointed Blood Killing Guard. Then the most regretful thing is that we didn't see Wen Churan's wish come true, how can I put it? If it was written that Jiang Guiwan had always been interested in Wen You, instead of seeing Wen Churan chatting with other men and he tried to stop it, there would be a similar plot that made people feel that he was actually attracted to Wen You. It felt like it was a pity that they were not allowed to be together in the end. I may have been deeply influenced by the drama of happy reunion in TV series since I was a child. I just wanted to see the two of them together. I think this would be perfect [face covering] [face covering] [face covering]
