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 🙏🙏
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.
Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

I really don’t understand why people insist on both leads being virgins and still call it a palace-intrigue drama. If both leads are virgins, it’s not even palace intrigue anymore. Please recommend some real palace-intrigue dramas.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance!
Lately I’ve been looking for an ancient-era romance with realistic, detailed descriptions of everyday life, but it’s so hard to find. I don’t need some grand epic. I just want to read about the daily lives of women in ancient times.

This is truly amazing! The emperor's affection for the female lead wasn't forceful; it was a gradual process. His youthful infatuation with her—whether as a palace maid or a concubine—was already incredibly captivating. However, the female lead calmly and rationally rejected him. The male lead, unable to win her heart, kept all his feelings hidden.
The author's writing is good, the female lead's personality is also good, and the overall writing is quite delicate. This is a palace intrigue novel, so it's normal for the male lead to be impure, but I hope the female lead can remain beautiful on her own, not fall in love with the male lead, not be troubled by love, and remain rational.
Your previous novel, "The Imperial Concubine in the Deep Palace," was exceptionally good, and the beginning of this one is just as high quality. I love your palace novels so much! Keep it up, author!
It's great! I loved the first part, and I just hope the author doesn't make the later parts as angsty as the first. Palace intrigue is fine, and I hope the male lead will have the same unique and devoted love for the female lead as in the first part! ❤️❤️❤️
I've read the first part, and it's not bad, but! I strongly urge the author to let the female lead have all the glory! Outlive the emperor! Rise to the throne! Go out of the palace and have some fun! After the male lead and the virtuous concubine slept together, he dreamt of the female lead, constantly telling himself that he was the emperor, that he was the emperor, and that this was normal.
After nearly ten years of reading e-books, this is the first time I've finished a serialized novel. The author's writing is indeed excellent, but the updates became very slow later on for no apparent reason, making it particularly difficult to read. The book is very good; the joy of youth is finally fulfilled.
The male and female leads have well-defined personalities, which I especially like. 🌚🌚 The plot is captivating, with each element seamlessly connected to the next; the cars in the book made my face turn bright yellow! 🌝🌝🌝 The male lead is ruthless in his pursuit of love, while the female lead is aloof and proud—it's absolutely fantastic!!! 🌹🌹🌹 Highly, highly, highly recommended!! The writing is superb!
This is so well-written! The emperor in this book is the most cunning I've ever read. Every step seems unintentional on his part, yet he subtly protects and helps the female lead throughout. Excellent!
This is absolutely fantastic! It's clearly not written by a novice; the writing style is excellent. I've been suffering from a reading slump for so long, and finally this is something that truly captivated me. Keep up the good work, author! 🥺
The concept is brilliant; I hope the male and female leads can have a tragic ending.
