Three Books I’ve Read Three Times and Remember Best

Seasoned Readers Only, Don't Recommend Anything Bad!

I've already saved a million readers from abandoned books.

I’ve Recently Gotten into Historical Romance, and I’m Out of Books to Read

I like stories with equally strong male and female leads who help each other grow, with good supporting characters too. Something warm and loving, please recommend some.

Truly Stunning Historical Romance

Political Intrigue, Historical Setting

Are there any grand-scale political intrigue novels like "Scheming for Love" and "The Prosperous Age's Strategist", with court politics and a turbulent martial world, but no domestic infighting?

Marriage First, Love Later (Historical)!!!

Any ancient-setting novels about falling in love after an arranged marriage?!!!! I'm out of books to read!!!

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 🙏🙏

Let Me Set the Record Straight: Tomato Novel Is Free, but Some Books Require VIP Access

Anything is fine as long as the writing is good, the author updates regularly (preferably a completed story), and the protagonist isn't pretentious!!!

Historical Romance: Every Noble Family's Legitimate Daughter Should Have Her Proper Pride

No more than 200 chapters. The noble daughters from great families may have conflicts, but they all have the right principles. They unite when it comes to the country. The female lead is gentle and soft-spoken, a proper young lady. The male lead is refined and courteous.

Looking for Contract Marriage to Love Stories Rated 9.8 or Higher

Looking for a story like "Yi Sheng You Xi": a marriage first, love later, with equally capable leads, a fast-paced plot, sincere feelings, and believable events. Historical or modern settings are both fine.

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.

Looking for Good Classical Chinese Romance Novels Set Among Aristocratic Families, with Household Intrigue and No Idiotic Characters

Looking for a purely historical romance. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious. The female lead is his wise, dignified legal wife. I want a domestic-strife story about the two of them managing the family together.

Palace Intrigue with Open, Unabashed Favoritism and Exclusive Devotion

Looking for books similar to The Beautiful and Soft Lady-in-Waiting Is Spoiled Endlessly by the Cold-Blooded Crown Prince. Palace intrigue or entertainment-world crossovers are both fine. I want open, obvious affection, not a heroine who's a target in plain sight. From the start, she should be the favored one, preferably the only one he favors. Ideally, once he has or falls in love with the heroine, they should both be sexually inexperienced.

Not a Strong Female Lead! I Want a Soft, Sweet Female Lead!

I have no particular requirements. As long as it is a sweet story with a strong female lead!

Historical Romance with a Heroine Who’s the Legitimate Daughter of a Prestigious Family and Doesn’t Get Pushed Around

Any novels where the male lead isn't an emperor, but is a legitimate heir from a prominent family?

Family-Intrigue Stories! I Want One Like The Story of Minglan!!

Hand over your favorite books, nice and easy 👀👀

Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue, the Kind That Takes All Your Brainpower

Are there any pure palace-intrigue novels without reborn or transmigrate plots, and without an overpowered protagonist aura? Lately everything has been about transmigration and rebirth, and I’m sick of it.

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...

Tired of Courts Full of Treacherous Officials: Give Me a Loyal Court from the Start

Not a court full of corrupt officials, please. There are too many of those. I want to read about a court full of loyal ministers.

A Legitimate Daughter Raised by a Prestigious Local Clan: Household Intrigue, With a Smart Female Lead

The leads are childhood sweethearts. They're courteous and respectful to each other early in their marriage, then fall in love later on.

Pure Historical Romance: A Gentle, Composed, and Cunning Female Lead, and a Male Lead Who Isn’t Cold or Expressionless

The male lead shouldn't be the emperor, and the female lead shouldn't transmigrate or be reborn.

I Don't Believe There Are Any Completed Masterpieces Rated 9.6 to 9.9
