She Used to Love the Emperor Deeply, but Eventually Comes to Her Senses and Stops Caring About His Consorts
Looking for books like "The Virtuous Empress of Shunzhi's Reign: Striving to Become Empress Dowager". Set in the Qing dynasty, with a clear-headed empress who stops longing for the emperor's favor and devotes herself to raising her children. The emperor realizes what he's lost too late, and things can never go back to how they were.
The Heroine Isn’t the Legal Wife, but the Hero Spoils Her Rotten
Looking for books similar to The Delicate Noble Consort Has Her Ways (also known as: The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility). The male lead should dote on and protect the heroine, but she shouldn't be a naive, airheaded sweetheart.
Are There Any Palace- and Household-Intrigue Novels That Set the Gold Standard, the Kind You Can't Put Down? 🌸
In a Reading Slump. Recommend Something Smart With Intelligent Characters
First of all, nothing brainless, no womanizers, and no power fantasies that make everyone stupid. I'm looking for something about everyday life, simple and funny, maybe a little silly. Thanks!
Looking for Palace Intrigue! The Emperor Favors Her Early On, Then Dotes on Her Exclusively
Looking for books like "The Empress Plans Her Every Step, Slowly Winning the Emperor's Heart (A Concubine's Guide to Rising to Power)".
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.

The Hero Is an Emperor, and It’s a Sweet Love at First Sight with Both Leads Completely Devoted to Each Other
The male lead can control time, and the female lead thinks he's a deity. After he becomes emperor, he hints to her father, "I'll trade My Majesty's precious pearl for yours." In the end, he uses underhanded means to get her into the palace. So thrilling! Please tell me the title right away, I'm begging you!
High-Quality Classical Fiction, No Transmigration or Rebirth
I'm sick of the same old transmigration and rebirth plots.
In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊
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.
Palace Intrigue, Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue
I’m trying to find a palace-intrigue novel. I think it involved transmigration. The heroine didn’t love the emperor, though he seemed to love her. Later, once their son had grown up, the emperor grew wary of her. She gave him a drug that made him impotent and left him irritable, and so on. He eventually died suddenly.
Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance: Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth, No Transmigration
Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...
Beautiful Writing, Good Values, Sweet Historical Romance
Are there any sweet historical romance novels with a fast-paced plot and decent writing? The female lead shouldn't be a naive, saccharine type, and I'm looking for stories where the male and female leads fall in love at first sight or develop feelings over time. Please, I'm begging you.
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.

It's really pretty, I like the Queen Mother
Very nice, very sweet at the back. Especially the extra story makes people feel very sad that things have changed after so many years. I really want to love just one person. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night? I hope I can meet someone I love in the future and have my own happiness.
This book is very good, thank you to the author. I am a disabled girl who likes to read at home, and I also like to read Gong Douwen. Thank you to the author. You have written some interesting articles for a disabled girl like me. Thank you to all the authors. Although I haven't read a book in a day, I really like reading. Thank you Internet authors.
Absolutely amazing! It's amazing! The male protagonist: He is a love-crazy maniac who loves his wife. He sticks to his wife from the top up and sticks to his wife from behind. Heroine: A beautiful, gentle and cool beauty. She entered the palace to avenge her aunt, but she was targeted by a love-minded man. The whole story is sweet. There is a little bit of abuse in it, but the small abuse is pretty good. The male protagonist loves the female protagonist very much, but our Tangtang is a child who has suffered too much and does not feel safe enough to open up to the male protagonist. Fortunately, it was HE in the end. The extras written by the author are also very interesting. I really like the story of Xiao Xuanzhi and Yang Zhiqian that I have been looking forward to for a long time. The only regret is that I didn't see the extra story about the Queen Mother (the male protagonist's adoptive mother). I really wanted to see her previous life. Okay, overall it's super pretty. The first brush is over. See you in the second brush!
Hehe, it's quite good-looking. I like to read this kind of palace fighting novels the most. The female protagonist wins every step of the way, while the male protagonist falls step by step. In the end, the two redeem each other and stay together until old age! With Cheng Huan at my knees, my children are happy👍👍👍
It's good. This is the best ancient romance I've ever read.
It's really good to watch. The progress in the early stage is slower, but the progress in the later stage is very fast. I finished reading it without skipping a chapter. I started reading it as soon as I added it to the bookshelf. I finished reading it in about three and a half hours until the latest chapter. It's really good to read. I highly recommend it to everyone. I'm very surprised.
Five stars, it's okay as a palace fighting novel, the fight is quite powerful, the heroine is well written, principled and not soft-hearted, the emperor is good, especially in the later period, he is really good to the heroine, especially that sentence, even if Tangtang takes advantage of me, I am willing and very touched, but there is no extra story about them.
The front is still very doting. It's just that the heroine has been taking advantage of the emperor in the early stage (at least on the surface) and then gradually developed some feelings in the later stage. It's just not obvious. The male protagonist is interested in the female protagonist and then dotes on her. There are also some cold wars and quarrels, but the male protagonist loves the female protagonist very much. The only bad thing is that the male protagonist is behind, and in order to test the female protagonist, they send someone to pretend to assassinate him. Then the heroine was stabbed trying to save him. As a result, his concubine gave her some safflower water, and it became difficult to get pregnant. But everything else is okay, the male protagonist often plays himself, and the subsequent extras are very well written.
Great! The whole article is great!! In the early stage, the relationship between the male and female protagonists also progressed slowly, naturally and unobtrusively. From suspicion to trust, the relationship gradually sublimated, and the ending was also very happy! 💕💕 2023.8.3 1:45Am After reading the text, I am still very reluctant to let go 😢 I hope Shen Qingtang and Xiao Yicheng will always be happy, and I also hope that all lovers in the world can be together for the rest of their lives!
