Historical Fiction Set in an Imaginary Ancient World, No System
No System, no System, no System. Thanks, everyone.
High-IQ Alternate-History Novels
I want something with intelligent characters. No stories that rub my nose in how stupid I am, even if I’m not exactly a genius.
Looking for Historical Novels. I Prefer Stories with a Strong Historical Focus
Looking for books like *I Possessed Someone in the Spring and Autumn Period and Became a Lord (A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period)*. Does anyone know any realistic novels like *Life in the Middle Ages*, *A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period*, and *Anxi Army Diary*, with a focus on history, politics, economics, war, and farming?
A Top Student Transmigrates to Ancient Times, Passes the Imperial Exams, and Becomes a Great Statesman
Desperate for Something to Read: Tomato Masterpieces, I've Tried Them All (Don't Recommend Yi Shou Zhan Shen or Da Li)
Masterpieces Rated 9.9 or Higher! At Least a 9.08!
Please, I Want a Male Lead in the Imperial Examinations. He Needs to Be Smart, and There Should Be No Horrible Relatives
Looking for books like *Bitten by Leeches While Farming, I Stayed Up All Night Reading for the Imperial Exams*.
Any Stories With a Powerful Heroine and Political Intrigue?
I'd like to read something like *Reborn as the Treacherous Minister's Legitimate Daughter, She Plays Herself to Perfection*.
Political Intrigue, Darkness, High Intelligence, and Masterminds
A master strategist who can anticipate your every move and make plans from behind the scenes.
High-IQ Historical Alternate-World Novels Without a System, Tang, Song, or Ming Are All Fine
No Romance, Imperial Exam Stories, No Cross-Dressing, Preferably Starting in Childhood
I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!
Seeking High-IQ, Highly Strategic, System-Free, Transmigrated Ancient Alternate-History Novels
Looking for an alternate-history novel about transmigrating to ancient times, with a highly intelligent protagonist, masterful strategy, and no System.
The Male Lead Passes the Imperial Exams and Becomes an Official Who Serves the People, With a Virtuous Wife at His Side
They support each other through everything.
An Ordinary Family Works Its Way Up from a Minor Official’s Post After Moving to the Capital for the Imperial Exams
A story about a farmer's son passing the imperial examinations and going to the capital as a minor official, with his family going from renting a place to gradually establishing themselves.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction!
Modern Historical Fiction Has Almost No Gems. Disagree? Come Debate Me
The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.
Any Ancient Imperial-Examination Novels with the Protagonist Reborn as a Baby?
Looking for books similar to A Guide to Survival for an Ancient-Era Concubine’s Son. It’s always farm boys taking the imperial exams. Are there any about a son from a prestigious family taking the exams, someone like a concubine’s son?
Transmigrate to Ancient Times, Farm, Take the Imperial Exams, Do Business, No Toxic Characters, Just a Normal Story
Preferably completed.
Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.
Imperial Exams, Rural Life, Children, Smart Characters, No Dumbing Down, and Real History
Ideally, something set in the Ming dynasty. That one about Zhu Qiniu was pretty good.
A Reading-Slump Disaster!!!! Save Me!!!! Godfather!!!!
American Horror Story: May the Holy Spirit Be With You. Give this book a try, everyone. I think it's pretty good.
Any Novels With Azur Lane Shipgirls as the Main Characters?
Looking for Historical Novels About Someone Who Transmigrates, No System
No System, please. Ideally, the protagonist keeps a low profile and builds up their strength early on.
Female-to-Male Gender-Bender Stories. I've Scoured Countless Threads and Found a Few, Please Add More
Any genre is fine. Please add some recommendations. Cross-dressing heroines are fine too, but there has to be a couple.

It's not noisy so far. Very nice
It's not bad. It's a plot I like to watch, and I also like harmonious families. If I keep this level of literary talent, I won't abandon my writing. Come on ^0＾~
It's a good book. The author will update it more often. This book has a strong sense of immersion. However, many of the content and ideas could be more realistic and should not be summed up in one stroke. Also, 120 taels a day for a day laborer is too much. The monthly salary of the maids and eunuchs in the palace is 2 taels equal to 2,000 taels. Wouldn't it be possible for a peasant day laborer to earn 3 taels a month?
The writing is quite good and makes people want to read it. The author should work hard and update it. I look forward to it...
It's very nice. I hope to buy some clothes for my parents and a big gold bracelet for my mother. Ha ha
Well written! Not too exaggerated! But I still prefer those with more brothers and sisters😄 and those with a harmonious relationship!
It's a very good article about the imperial examination. I hope the author doesn't introduce a female protagonist in the early stage.
It's great. I originally read it with the mentality of giving it a try👀Who knew I wouldn't be able to get out? My family and friends are so cool. I thought it was another cool story with the support of the system. But the protagonist emerged step by step and his character is super awesome and warm [Sending my heart]
I have read a lot of articles about the imperial examination. The male protagonist is interesting. He earns a little money first and has the ability to develop more. He studies hard, is filial to his parents, respects his sister-in-law, and is friendly. His niece is a good young man, and he is also a protector of his shortcomings. He must avenge his enemies and look forward to the follow-up...
The slow-paced novel is unique among the many brainless and refreshing novels on Tomato. The plot advancement and story development are very smooth, and it looks very smooth. The author's writing style is also good. If you like slow pace and reading novels with your brain, you can read it. If you just like to read mindless and refreshing novels, don't read it. What I wrote later is a bit outrageous, I hope the author can pull it back.
