🌟🌟🌟 A Masterpiece You Can Read Hundreds of Times and Still Not Get Enough Of
Every book here is a gem, carefully handpicked, and good enough to read over and over again.
What’s the Hottest Historical Novel on Tomato Novel?
I’m in a reading slump.
My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel
I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.
Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic
No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.
I’ve Read Over a Thousand Books, but Only Six Made It Onto My Shelf. I’m Extremely Picky, So Recommend Me Something Good
Looking for Ancient-Style Political Intrigue with a Smart Protagonist Who Plots on a Grand Scale
The protagonist should have their own faction. No System!!!
Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste
Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.
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.
Deep, Thought-Provoking Stories That Feel Like Masterpieces
Something like "The Three-Body Problem", for example.
Any Excellent Historical Novels?!
I'm sick of those power-fantasy stories where the protagonist shows off all the time!
Wuxia, Court Politics, Scheming, and Alternate History
Traditional wuxia stories where the male lead is powerful and influential, has a hidden faction, roams the martial world, and falls into a love-hate relationship with the female lead.
Any Historical or Ancient-Setting Novels Rated 9.5 or Higher?
Looking for books similar to "I Am the Tyrant of the Ming Dynasty". A modern person transmigrates into the Chongzhen Emperor's body, building a powerful nation through technology and political maneuvering. A rousing, wish-fulfillment story.
Looking for Superbly Written Historical Novels!
I've read The Chief Ministers, A Scholar of Superior Character, A First-Rank Official, A Generation's Military Advisor, The Son-in-Law, The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains, The Unification of the Mountains and Rivers, I Picked Up Qin Shi Huang, The End of Song, New Song, and Joy of Life. Are there any similar novels with a highly intelligent protagonist who plans everything in advance?
The Best Historical Novels From Every Dynasty
Preferably a book rated above 9.
Historical Fiction That's More Realistic and Longer, Please
I Can't Believe Historical Fiction Writers Can Be This Good
A fact-based educational book written using sources from official history, but not boring!
Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist
I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.
Recommend Historical Fiction Set in Ancient Times Rated 9.8 or Higher
Looking for highly rated novels about a female lead who transmigrates into ancient Chinese history. Ideally, the male lead should be a powerful figure with high status.
The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction
Looking for books similar to "Tang Dynasty: Defying the Imperial Decree Is the Only Way to Get Stronger". This book makes me cry every time I read it. I've read it five or six times, and I still cry. I just can't believe anything else is better. It's the strongest historical novel in my book! An 8.9 rating is way too low. I'd give it a 9.
High-Quality Alternate-History Fiction
Court politics, the martial world, wuxia, political intrigue, romance...
Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels
I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗
My Five Favorite Historical Novels
A Highly Intelligent, Strategic Prince in a Historical Novel Like The Nation-Founding Prince Consort
That's it.
Alternate History, High-IQ Characters, Military Conflict, and Strategic Showdowns
The protagonist defeats opponents through high intelligence rather than mindlessly overpowering them.

As a 30-year veteran bookworm, I think this is much better than "Tang Brick." It's decisive and ruthless, with no harem. I hate those stories where everyone bows down to the protagonist the moment they appear. I hope the author updates soon; I can't sleep if I don't read it for a day.
Overall, the writing is good and the plot is reasonable, but the pacing is a bit slow, and the character details are not smooth and delicate enough; I always have to add more details as I remember them.
A superior work, with characters whose personalities largely align with historical accounts. Among the few authors on Tomatoes (a popular Chinese writing platform), the narrative is clear. Each character is distinct, and the political intrigue within the book aligns with my personal fantasies. The plot is tightly woven.
It's rare to have a male lead who's intelligent, ruthless, and has a strong sense of the big picture. Hurry up and update! I'm so frustrated that it's caught up!
I like it; it really tests the skill of meticulous brushwork, and there are no unnecessary supernatural abilities, making it more enjoyable to read.
This is a male-centric novel, but without the unrealistic "power fantasy" protagonists who are easily worshipped. The plot unfolds gradually, with rationality and ruthlessness. However, the ruthlessness shown by those who achieve great things, even at the cost of innocent lives, is somewhat unsettling. Looking forward to the author's next update…
Well, it's written with vivid details and is very engaging, but maybe I haven't read enough of it. After reading about the lives of people at the bottom of society, I really felt that everything is predestined and they have no control over their own lives. No matter what the situation is now, being reborn in a feudal society is truly heartbreaking.
The writing and plot are both excellent, and since most of the novels I read on Tomato are mindless wish-fulfillment stories, this one is a breath of fresh air. When will Wan'er come back?! I miss her so much!
The story of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, father and son, emperor and deposed crown prince, is known to countless people, and numerous authors have used them as models for their works. However, most of these authors cannot avoid the pitfalls of time-travel novels: mindless wish fulfillment.
Finished reading. It was good. The pacing was a bit slow, but it's enjoyable if you read carefully. The ending felt rushed, though. I was a little reluctant to see it end. It would have been even better if the narrative had a stronger rhythm. I had previously bought a book called "The Xuanwu Gate Incident." It's quite a coincidence that I came across this book again while reading novels.
