A Conquest in a Golden Age: The Cannon-Fodder Emperor Wants a Restart

Books That Seem Ordinary but Turn Out to Be Masterpieces

Some books get hyped into popularity, while some masterpieces are overlooked or buried. But everyone has different tastes, shaped by age, environment, and personality. Everyone has their own personal 9.9-rated masterpiece.

Looking for High-Quality Historical Novels

I've been an avid reader for years, but now I can't find anything good to read. Hope you can recommend some books!

Any Stories With a Scheming, Calculating, Coolheaded Female Lead?

Any stories with a female lead who's skilled at political intrigue, extremely calculating, and calm and collected?

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 🤗

Scheming Characters: I've Given Up on Finding Masterpieces

Political Intrigue and a Big-Picture Female Lead!!!

I want a female-led story with a grand scope. A male lead is fine, too. Please, I’ve run out of books to read. It needs to be well written!

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.

Period Tragedies Like Eastern Palace

Guys, I once read a short historical romance tragedy with a plot a lot like Eastern Palace. The title felt a bit like Palace Wall Willow. Does anyone know what it might be? 😭

Political Scheming, Mutual Mind Games, Everyone Is Sharp, With No Absolute Good or Evil, Only Different Loyalties

Looking for books like She Was Reborn as a Treacherous Minister's Daughter, and Played the Role to Perfection. I really want a spirited, heroic female lead, like an ancient female general. The male lead shouldn't become lovesick the moment he meets her, and the supporting characters shouldn't be dumbed down. Everyone should have their own personality. Don't make all the glory...

Any Good Historical Romance Novels to Recommend?

Highly rated and enjoyable.

Looking for Good Classical Chinese Romance Novels Set Among Aristocratic Families, with Household Intrigue and No Idiotic Characters

Looking for a purely historical romance. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious. The female lead is his wise, dignified legal wife. I want a domestic-strife story about the two of them managing the family together.

Palace Intrigue

Palace-intrigue stories where the heroine doesn't love the hero, like The King's Woman. Please recommend some!!!

Looking for Political Intrigue with a Ruthless, Cunning Heroine Who Focuses on Her Career

Looking for books similar to "Reborn as the Treacherous Minister’s Legitimate Daughter, She Plays Herself". I can’t stand stupid characters or female leads who rely on others or ride someone else’s coattails. I want someone clear-headed and ruthless. I love that.

An Empire Sweeps Away Rebels Through War. Slaughter Brings Peace, and Wealth Ushers in a Golden Age

I want to read books like My Empire’s Great Powers Turned Out to Be Me. Stories where the protagonist leads a rebellion and becomes emperor, or becomes emperor and reforms the country.

Everyone, Recommend Some Real Palace-Intrigue Stories

I’ve read so many stories where the leads are each other’s only partners, the female lead gets ridiculous later on, the emperor favors her for no reason, and her family is low-ranking but somehow she can skip several ranks at a time. I want a palace-intrigue story that makes a bit more sense, please, I’m begging you.

Looking for Ancient Romance Novels with a Cunning Female Lead Who Reads People's Minds

Preferably a transmigration story. There are so few of these, and I can’t find any.

An Empresses in the Palace Emperor Is Reborn and Learns the Truth, Then Loves No One and Devotes Himself Only to His Empire

Looking for books like "Harry Potter: If the Villain Isn't Ruthless, He Won't Keep His Status". I want a story similar to this Tomato novel I love. The protagonist should be Gin, who uses his own strength to lead the Organization into a new future. Ideally, Gin is reborn, or...
