The Regent's Secret Wife

Books That Can Hold the Attention of a Veteran Reader of More Than Ten Years

Can anyone recommend a novel for a reader who's been at it for ten years? I want something I can stick with. I've already read most of the topics in today's novels, and I can't get through more than ten or twenty chapters. I'm having such a hard time.

Historical Romance: A Refined Young Lady from an Aristocratic Family and a Gentle, Free-Spirited Young Master from Another

A marriage between prominent families, childhood sweethearts, considering the family, assisting the emperor in ruling, and no emotional barriers between them. Both leads should be clear-headed. Set in the original world. When facing threats to their family, themselves, or their partner's interests, they should act decisively, but they shouldn't be excessively self-serving. They should help others and benefit the whole world.

Pure Historical Romance

No transmigration, no being reborn, no System.

Looking for Purely Ancient-Era Stories with a Gentle, Refined Aristocratic Female Lead

No transmigration or rebirth. I've read too many stories where the female lead tramples scumbags and stages a comeback, so I want something different. Thanks, girls!

Looking for a Good, Low-Key Historical Romance

An empress or a legitimate-born daughter is fine. Anything goes as long as it's not a farming novel!

Farming or palace intrigue, preferably with both leads having no prior romantic or sexual relationships!!!

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 Ancient-Style Stories, No Transmigration or Rebirth

In the Ancient Saying Shuangjie, the Male Protagonist Is the Prince or the Heir Apparent.

Does anyone have any ancient stories about the sweet love between the prince and the heir apparent, and the male protagonist is so powerful that they will be a couple for the rest of their lives? There has been a book shortage recently.

Looking for Historical Romance. Pure Romance!! No Rebirth!! No Transmigration!

I'm looking for something like *The Story of Minglan*, where the male and female leads follow their feelings but always observe proper boundaries, and never cross the line before marriage!!

Looking for High-Quality Novels That Make You Want to Read to the End

Please recommend novels that make you want to keep reading. Any genre is fine, as long as they're good and the characters use their brains. Some novels are just unbearable. Please, please, please!

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No Golden Finger, Just a Classic Historical Romance With the Right Values

I want an ancient setting with palace intrigue and household drama. No one being reborn or transmigrating, and no System. I don't want an especially strong female or male lead. I like stories where the couple are evenly matched and the male lead is the crown prince. Both leads should be good-looking, intelligent, and have sound values!

Ancient Romance Novels. No Transmigration.

A romance between a sheltered young lady and a domineering prince.

Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth or Transmigration

I want sweet, doting romance, no angst. I'm very sensitive and can't handle tragic stories.

Ancient Setting, with a Sweet, Adorable, Naive Heroine Who Gets Tricked, Coaxed, and Bullied by the Hero

Something set in ancient times, with a high-status male lead and a sweet, naive female lead who gets tricked by him without even realizing it.

Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space

It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!

Short Historical Romance

Preferably a story about a princess regent and a prince regent, or a prince and princess consort who marry first and fall in love later.

Looking for Pure Historical Romance, No Transmigration

Purely historical, sweet and romantic, with a good plot and a female lead who's not a naive airhead. A little angst in the middle is fine, but it needs a happy ending! Ideally, it would also portray the rigid class system of feudal society and the helplessness of living in that era.
