Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance: Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth, No Transmigration
Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...
Palace Intrigue with Open, Unabashed Favoritism and Exclusive Devotion
Looking for books similar to The Beautiful and Soft Lady-in-Waiting Is Spoiled Endlessly by the Cold-Blooded Crown Prince. Palace intrigue or entertainment-world crossovers are both fine. I want open, obvious affection, not a heroine who's a target in plain sight. From the start, she should be the favored one, preferably the only one he favors. Ideally, once he has or falls in love with the heroine, they should both be sexually inexperienced.
Looking for Real Palace-Intrigue Dramas, No Need for Mutual First-Timers
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.
Palace Intrigue! The Heroine Is Clear-Headed and Works Hard to Have Children and Rise in Rank!
Looking for books similar to The Empress Is Wild and Wily, Raising Children Amid a Harem Showdown. The heroine is clear-headed in the harem. Sweet romance or doting romance are both fine.
Pure Palace Intrigue, with Cutthroat Scheming. The Female Lead Must Be Clever
Looking for a Historical Romance Where the Female Lead Seduces the Male Lead for Wealth and Status
Looking for books similar to "Begonia in Spring, Drunk with Desire: The Outer Woman Desperately Wants to Rise in Status." The female lead is unbelievably beautiful and thinks she is very scheming, but in reality the male lead has always had her completely under his thumb. Please, everyone, help me find some!
I'm Out of Books to Read. Please Share Your Recommendations!
Any palace-intrigue novels? I mean satisfying stories with a strong female lead who's reborn and absolutely slaughters everyone.
Palace Intrigue, Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue
I’m trying to find a palace-intrigue novel. I think it involved transmigration. The heroine didn’t love the emperor, though he seemed to love her. Later, once their son had grown up, the emperor grew wary of her. She gave him a drug that made him impotent and left him irritable, and so on. He eventually died suddenly.
Palace Intrigue, the Female Lead Treats Being a Consort as a Career, Never Falls for the Male Lead. Please!
Novels similar to "The Job of a Concubine".
Looking for a Power Fantasy With a Strong Female Lead: Palace and Household Intrigue, Rebirth, Modern or Historical Settings Are Both Fine
The Noble Daughter
Pure Palace Intrigue, No Special Favoritism, No Mutual Firsts
The female lead is ruthless and cold-hearted, and doesn't love the emperor. The emperor dies young. After his death, she becomes empress dowager, supports her son, and holds power over the court. Please, everyone, this is something I desperately need.
Palace Intrigue Stories Where the Consort Rises Through the Ranks Fast. Please!
The heroine should be clear-headed and perfectly fine. Pure historical romance, but I’m a simple soul who wants a satisfying read. Transmigration, rebirth, or a native heroine are all fine, but no quick transmigration.
Palace Intrigue: The Heroine Puts on Her Sunglasses, Cares About No One, and Becomes Empress
Get lost, love-struck fools! The female lead is perfectly clear-headed, and she’s the Empress Dowager who rules as regent.
Please Recommend Completed Historical Palace-Intrigue Stories!!! Something Like Zhaohua Luan!!!!
I'm looking for books like Zhaohua's Chaos. I want a battle of wits in the imperial harem, with no transmigration! No transmigration!!! Transmigration is okay too, but can they at least speak and act like people from their own era??? I can't stand it when they keep mixing two different eras 🥹 🙏 I don't need the leads to be devoted to each other for life.

Alas, although the heroine's eldest son has a keen understanding of power, he seems not to have considered that the heroine would die if she did not fight for it. He wants a harmonious family, but as a prince, this is destined to be impossible.
A beautiful and intelligent version of Consort Hua, an empress without the obsession with abortion + a beautiful version of the chubby orange.
The writing is excellent, and the plot is very well-designed. Such a good work should be seen by more people!
Fantastic! A portrait of women, without any female rivalry; the female lead's career is everything. It's strange that novels featuring women crawling into men's crotches get such high ratings, while truly excellent female-centric novels have such low scores.
Great! The female protagonist finally became empress! Most of the women in the book also have their own unique charm.
This is a true female-centric novel. The female protagonist is clear-headed and devoid of romantic feelings; her only ambition and thirst for power remain unfulfilled. Her goal is never merely to become empress. The supporting female characters also possess distinct personalities and pursuits, avoiding blind romanticism and power struggles.
Fantastic! A woman in power, riding freely on horseback, unconstrained by the harem—that's wonderful!
It's really good, with each plot twist building to the next. Author, keep it up! Update more often, and one day everyone will see your work! 👍👍👍 [Requesting more updates!]
This is so well written!! The female lead is truly steadfast and never swayed by love. The ending just left me wanting more; I hope the author can write a side story to explain Mingying's fate. 😘😘😘😘
It's a good read. The female lead is very clear-headed throughout and eventually becomes empress. The only downsides are the rushed ending and the author's overly detailed descriptions of dishes. Looking forward to an even better next book! 💕💕
