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.

Please Crush Me with a Gentle Male Lead! The Gentler the Better, Ideally in an Ancient Setting!
I've recently fallen for gentle male leads, la la la! But there seem to be so few in historical romance. They're mostly domineering, scheming, aloof, or sickly obsessive. I'm here to ask for recommendations!
I’ve Recently Gotten into Historical Romance, and I’m Out of Books to Read

A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman
I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.
Looking for Stories About Young Emperors and Empresses
Looking for a story where the male and female leads support and trust each other, gradually rising to become emperor and empress, with both career ambitions and romance. I've been watching the Cang Xuan storyline in *Lost You Forever* lately, and it really makes me want to read about a young emperor and empress like that.
True Gems Recommended by Lifelong Bookworms
Looking for stories like The People Who Came and Went Through My Life. A genuinely good book.
First-Person Narratives
I'm getting tired of books told in third person. Are there any told in first person?
The Story of Xi Hua Zhi Is Great, Right? Do You Have Any Palace or Household Intrigue Novels That Top It?
Reborn, the heroine refuses to follow her parents’ orders and accept a marriage arranged by a matchmaker. She wants to live life on her own terms instead of wasting away in the harem as she did in her previous life.
Recommendations for Ancient or Modern Stories Without a Virgin Couple, for a Change from Reading So Many Stories with Chaste Leads
Ladies, please recommend historical or modern novels where the couple aren't each other's firsts. Completed stories preferred, completed stories! I've read too many books where they are each other's firsts and want a change of pace. Thanks, ladies!
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 🤗
Looking for a Gentle Male Lead: Refined and Noble, Not a Schemer
Pure Historical Romance: A Gentle, Composed, and Cunning Female Lead, and a Male Lead Who Isn’t Cold or Expressionless
The male lead shouldn't be the emperor, and the female lead shouldn't transmigrate or be reborn.
My Personal Top Picks, Any Genre Welcome
Looking for books similar to All My Wicked Disciples Want Me to Stay Alive. I’ve actually read every book I’m recommending here, and all the protagonists are smart. They can be about inner- or palace-court intrigue, nation-building, or supernatural mysteries and investigations.
I Want Pure Historical Romance!
I'm tired of transmigration and rebirth stories. I just want pure historical romance.
I’m Looking for Some Old-School Novels, Thanks
I'm looking for older novels. Stories from back then had a special flavor, but I don't mean just any old novel. I want ones with sound values, sensible characters, coherent logic, and generally intelligent people. No old-fashioned, brainless melodrama with the heroine overcoming a disability, please. Thank you!

Not bad, not bad, a very complete and stable novel. I like Ziye's single-mindedness and A'dai's intelligence and determination. The ambiguous time between the two before the Shangguan family collapsed was really heartwarming. They were young and ignorant. When they met again later, they solved their misunderstanding. Use desire to express love, which has always been hidden deep in each other's hearts. After the reunion, something tore apart and exploded. Although some things have caused irreversible damage to the two of them, fortunately, they can still walk through this life side by side, which is already very good [Like]
It's beautiful. Big books are very beautiful.
The first person perspective of the heroine, the writing is delicate, and the language fits the characters. Both the female protagonist and the male protagonist are growth-oriented characters. From daring to love and daring to hate, to having nothing, fighting alone, and then to family reunion, and finally reaching perfection, this process vividly depicts the heroine's indecision, trembling, and the pain of facing the betrayal of her lover under the shadow of the destruction of her family. The mental state of repeatedly struggling with anxiety is not the same as us facing dilemmas in reality. While reading the article, many readers criticized Adai's so-called "hypocrisy", which is undoubtedly in line with the normal changes in the character's personality. Anyone who so innocently gives his or her heart and has the male protagonist say cruel words of use to his face would not be able to withstand the blow. The character of the male protagonist is more stable than that of the female protagonist. He has been exposed to the darkness and coldness of the world since he was a child, and he can easily realize the passion and love the heroine has for him, which is a ray of light for him. He is calm, restrained, gentle, and has an overall view of the overall situation. Therefore, under the dual pressure of the death of the heroine's father and his teacher, when he was in danger, he did not want to drag Adai down, and had no choice but to do what he thought was the least harmful behavior to the heroine. The result of a lose-lose situation is that for a few years, the two of them were separated from each other, as if they had never been in love. The experience after the reunion taught him a truth: love must be spoken, and don't bear it alone. Finally achieved perfection! Mingyu is such a sassy woman! Jing Lin is a hairy youngster. Because of the hatred of the previous generation, his love was destined to be unable to be expressed in words, so that he finally poured it out at the moment when he thought he was going to die. He is lonely and sad. That person is not her, so just break the jar and throw it away. But the ending was another kind of satisfaction. He finally lived the life he wanted. This is the greatest freedom and happiness.
The best ancient romance I've read this year, Goose Da's romance never disappoints. My definition of this article is a micro-group portrait. The male protagonist, the female protagonist, and the second male lead all have very good characters. The female protagonist is self-improving and smart, and is brave and resourceful from the harem to the court. The male protagonist is affectionate and will find a balance between protecting the female protagonist and taking care of the government. I like that he did not kill the ministers directly and irrationally because of the female protagonist (I am sapiosexual). The second male protagonist is suave and suave, and is trapped by the power of his mother. Everyone is not black and white. The writing is smooth and antique, the plot is natural and twists and turns, and the characters are full of laughter and tears. This year I watched the first first-person ancient Chinese novel [shy][shy]
The writing is always very good, the writing style is good, the articles are good, and the content is connotative!
The author's books are all good to read. I chose to add them to my bookshelf after reading the author's other novel "Yu Yu Shu Nian". The characters are described vividly and delicately, and the plot is fascinating. I just read the latest one in a few days...
I only read half of it and I was ready to follow it, but it was very difficult. It was too dragging and too slow. It was hard to comment on the female protagonist. I was hesitant and self-deceiving. I was angry when I read it. I obviously like the male protagonist, but I just care about it. I have to pretend. Why do I have so much baggage? The male protagonist is not bad. It is just right. He is very versatile and responsible. Overall, I think it is pretty good because this is the second book I have read by the author. It is not as good as the previous one. 🤔But for someone who loves to read pure ancient Chinese novels, it's worth a look
The author with good writing style can really write a story that is pretentious, green tea, and pretentious and wanton very beautifully! Maybe first love lovers are always so pretentious and want to taste all the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty tastes. ——The above is not a Spring and Autumn style of writing, I really like it. It was the first time I read Shuangque back then, and I started to like online novels. So pretentious!
I have read and collected all the books written by Hai Qingnai Swan. The first one I read was "The Book of Songs in the Year of the Fall", and the one I like the most is also the book "The Book of the Song of the Year of the Fall". The writing style of this book is as good as ever, with plot + love and ups and downs in the content. It is worth reading. Characters: Among men, I like Zi Ye the most, and I also like Jing Lin, King Langya, and the heroine's brother. Among women, I like Mingyu the most, who is the heroine, and I also like Valuo, the princess of Huihe. The title of the book is wrong, it should be "Yan Yu Shu Year" [laughing awkwardly] [making faces]
Ouch, the story is fluent and interesting, and the girl's aesthetic fantasy about men is just right and hits the mark, making people excited and shy. The old aunt thought of her girlhood. It's nice to be young.
