The Best Historical Romance in Your Heart, Completed
Taking requests, I'm out of things to read.
Who’s the Best Male Lead on Tomato?
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.
Looking for Short Bedtime Reads! Sweet Only, No Angst! Super Sweet! Short Stories Only
Even better if it's told from the male lead's perspective.
Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂
I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.
Classical Chinese Romance!!!! Your Number One Pick! Send It My Way!
I love historical novels, I love historical novels! The female lead can be a little flawed, but the male lead absolutely must not be annoying! I want something that keeps me interested enough to read on.
Looking for the Best of Historical Romance, the Kind You Can Read Over and Over
Male leads similar to those in "A Fine Brocade of Good Days" and "The Phoenix’s Grace Knows No Bounds".
Any Short Stories That Are Brief but Really Good?
I hope the protagonist has sound values.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance, the Kind You Can't Skip a Single Chapter!!!
I Can't Get Into Anything ˃ʍ˂ Give Me Your Number One Pick!!
A devoted couple! No quick transmigration! The characters' values must be sound!!
Pure Palace Intrigue, Palace Intrigue, Seeking Recommendations
Looking for something like the historical romance series The Battle for the Throne. The ensemble cast is smart, with no transmigration or System reboot. Just a pure battle of wits and social skills in the palace. A thoroughly satisfying read, complete version
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.
Short Historical Romance, Highly Rated
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.
Please Recommend Addictive Historical Romance, I'm Starving for Something Good
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance with Excellent Writing
I hope the writing is serious. I’ve been reading web novels for six years, so please, everyone, recommend stories set in the imperial harem, with all its intrigue and schemes!
High-Quality Historical Romance Novels!!!
Something like "The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus", "Attack Jade", or "How Is This Proper"? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.
High-Quality Classical Fiction, No Transmigration or Rebirth
I'm sick of the same old transmigration and rebirth plots.
Completed Historical Romance That'll Have You Grinning the Whole Way Through
A completed historical romance, very sweet with no angst. Reborn is fine. Both leads should be strong, and the female lead shouldn't be a self-sacrificing saint or a fake innocent. She should be socially savvy. 😍 Thanks so much, lovely ladies and gentlemen! 😘
Looking for a Gentle Male Lead: Refined and Noble, Not a Schemer
Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core
No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.
Historical Romance: Every Noble Family's Legitimate Daughter Should Have Her Proper Pride
No more than 200 chapters. The noble daughters from great families may have conflicts, but they all have the right principles. They unite when it comes to the country. The female lead is gentle and soft-spoken, a proper young lady. The male lead is refined and courteous.
Sweet Historical Romance, but Not Too Long!

This is truly wonderfully written, like those stories about rebirth. It's like the protagonist is a completely different person, almost like a dream. I don't think it feels like ancient times at all. This book truly captures the hardships faced by women in ancient times. The female lead is powerless and lives a life of extreme caution.
I absolutely loved it! The author wrote it so well—the plot was fast-paced and not at all cheesy. The male lead was deeply affectionate and gentle, loving only the female lead from beginning to end. There were no heartbreaking moments with second leads. It even made me want to fall in love! 🥰😘 Highly recommend! I finished watching it on November 26, 2023, and I loved it!
Reborn, Zhao Zhao is not a ruthless killer; she longs to escape the troubles of the world, and fortunately, she meets Huai Feng who protects her for the rest of her life. I really like the way the prince treats his loved ones—respectful, steadfast, and gentle. Zhao Zhao hesitated at first because of many things, but she never acted coy or pretentious.
This is a normal view of love in ancient times, respecting the female lead. There's nothing frivolous or indecent towards her; aside from the time he saved her life, the male lead was extremely considerate. Even if they accidentally touch hands, there's no concept of interlocking fingers. This book is more like a sweet romance novel, with occasional plot twists, but not overly dramatic or simplistic storylines, making it a very enjoyable read.
I absolutely love the writing style! ❤️❤️❤️ The female lead is so sweet and adorable—I'm totally in love with her! 💗💗💗 I really want to be close to her! 😘😘😘😘😘😘 Who could resist a princess with such positive values and a lovely scent? I love her so much! 💕💕💕💕💕💕 The male lead is also great 👍
This is so well-written! I haven't read such a beautifully written book in a long time. I love it! ❤️ The gentle breeze on the grassland caressed the tears at the corners of her eyes. Perhaps if he wanted to capture such a wisp of wind, he would have to exchange it for every heartbeat in his chest.
This rebirth novel gave me a different kind of contrast; it's not a revenge story, but a sweet ancient romance. I loved the male lead's instant attraction and his subtle, quiet care for the female lead. The author's writing is excellent, and I especially loved many of the evocative descriptions! (It's just that this score doesn't really match the quality of the book 😠. I hope more people will read this novel; it's really good! [Thumbs up])
As expected, this is a sweet and romantic story! Although the female lead is reborn, there is no revenge involved. It's a sweet story between the male and female leads. Zhao Zhao is as bright and clear as the moon, yet she is also lonely and desolate. It's hard to imagine how desperate Zhao Zhao was in her previous life. Fortunately, she was reborn and met Gu Ruzhuo. He is Zhao Zhao's mountain. He took ninety-nine steps towards her before he finally won her the last step.
I feel like this life has gone by too smoothly; all the terrible scenes from my previous life have been inexplicably erased, which is a bit strange, but this is just my personal feeling. The author's writing is really good; with just a few words, they depict the innocent love of people in ancient times. It's worth reading.
This is so good! The male and female leads have mouths, there are no second male or female leads, the romance is well-developed, and the supporting characters are also very distinctive. I love this kind of novel so much! 😢
