Looking for Good Historical Romance Recommendations
The female lead should be the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household.
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.
Any Grand-scale Historical Political Intrigue Novels?
The male and female leads should be smart, not foolish and naive.
Ancient-Era Romance With a Highly Intelligent Lead, Preferably Complete
Political intrigue stories where it's not just the protagonist who's smart; the supporting cast should be sharp too.
Good Ancient-Era Romance
Recommend some good historical romance novels! If any of you lovely ladies have read some, let's discuss them. And please share any recommendations you have!
Looking for a Fatherly Boyfriend in an Ancient Romance, Please
The male lead is calculating but dotes on the female lead, often treating her like a baby in a fatherly way. Don't make the female lead too clingy. A mischievous, quirky type would be best.
Noble Daughters of Great Clans, Born to High Status
Fewer scheming green tea types and white lotuses. It’s fine if side characters are reborn or transmigrate, but I’d prefer the female lead to be a native of that world.
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 Cultured, Well-Bred Female Lead
No transmigration, no being reborn, and no overly carefree protagonists.
Looking for Good Historical Romance Novels
Looking for a purely historical romance novel. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious, while the female lead is his clever, capable principal wife. I want a story about household intrigue, with the two of them managing the family together.
Palace and Household Intrigue, Highly Rated Political Scheming
Looking for books like Springtime Joy Year After Year. Any recommendations with a couple like Sui Sui and Su Xun? I want plot twists, beautiful writing, high ratings, and lots of readers currently following it 🥰 Please! 🥹🥹🥹
Please Recommend Palace Intrigue Novels With Excellent Writing
Ideally, the heroine has never fallen in love with anyone. Cold and loveless, with only palace intrigue on her mind!
Historical Romance With a Reborn Female Lead
The female lead should be a legitimate daughter or a princess, and marry a prince or general or someone like that. No melodrama.
In a Reading Slump. Looking for a Palace Intrigue Novel
Looking for stories like The Crown Prince Is Cold and Unfeeling? I’ll Leave the Eastern Palace and Scheme for the Empress’s Throne! I want a female lead from a good family who’s loved by her relatives but isn’t naive. She should be very calculating, ruthless to herself and even more ruthless to others, and able to treat the emperor like a dog she’s training.
Palace-Crossing, Reborn, and Palace Intrigue
Looking for books like Fourth Madam Fu Is Expecting: Raising Children and Being Spoiled Every Day.
A Highborn Female Lead Who Excels at Palace Intrigue and Is Smart!
Sweet, Pampered Romance
I want to read books similar to Be Good and Date the School Hunk. Sweet, doting romance, lots of affection, and a great read.
Pure Palace Intrigue, Please: No Favorite Consorts and No Golden Fingers
Please recommend pure palace-intrigue novels. The heroine should only care about scheming her way to the top, and the emperor shouldn’t favor her exclusively. Thanks. Three things I don’t want: 1. No golden finger. 2. No heroine who’s all-powerful and has never faced any setbacks or hardships. 3. No emperor who dotes on the heroine alone.

This is a classical Chinese text unlike others, where love is built upon a profound love for the country and its people. The power struggles and the portrayal of a group of loyal individuals with a heart for the people are quite good. The romance between the male and female leads is also beautiful.
It's a very good read. Although the female lead is reborn, she doesn't know everything or predict everything like in other novels. She also doesn't constantly repeat what happened in her previous life, which is great.
It's good, I hope the author keeps writing and will continue. I give this book a 9.8 Out of 10.
It's rare to find a good book, oh wow. It's a serialized book again... Waaaaaah... I finished it in one go and cried my eyes out in the bathroom... It's so good! 🥺 Author, please keep updating! Try to update every day, hahaha! The writing is excellent, leaving you wanting more; you could read it in one go!
Good story, a slow and steady romance, intelligent and resourceful 👍👍👍 The male lead is a bit arrogant, it would be better if he were more direct 🤭 It's getting more and more exciting! The male lead is unleashing his ultimate move! Everyone, come and join the fun, hahaha 😄
The writing is concise, the story is tightly narrated, and although it's a rebirth story, it's not overly dramatic. The imagery and writing style are beautiful, and the overall atmosphere is uplifting. It's a very good book, and it would be great if it were adapted into a TV series. This book has a strong sense of righteousness. 👍
In the grand scheme of the nation and its people, Prime Minister Meng is worthy of respect; the female protagonist is intelligent and resilient; the male protagonist is patient and strategic. The other characters are also well-developed and compelling, making the story unconventional, highly readable, and offering valuable lessons in interpersonal relationships.
It's alright. Although it's a rebirth story, it's not melodramatic; it's a very refreshing book.
The writing is excellent, the story is fast-paced and engaging, and all plot holes are resolved, making it well worth reading.
Highly recommended! Many stories about palace intrigue are quite similar, but this is one of the more unique ones I've read so far. The plot is reasonable, the writing is good, and the score shouldn't be so low.
