Pure Angst, With the Male Lead Tormenting the Female Lead!!!!!!
I want angst from beginning to end, not the kind where the leads love each other but still can't be together in the end. I want the male lead to love someone else and the female lead to suffer through pure heartbreak.
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.

No imperial palace or princely residence settings. I want cozy stories about ordinary families.

Pure Palace Intrigue, Please: No Favorite Consorts and No Golden Fingers
Please recommend pure palace-intrigue novels. The heroine should only care about scheming her way to the top, and the emperor shouldn’t favor her exclusively. Thanks. Three things I don’t want: 1. No golden finger. 2. No heroine who’s all-powerful and has never faced any setbacks or hardships. 3. No emperor who dotes on the heroine alone.

Hearing Ye Tianyao say, "You're like family to me," brought tears to my eyes. From being a subordinate of the Third Prince to Yunluo's savior, and then a disciple of the Guihua Sect, along his journey, those around him either died or scattered, and Yunluo was his only remaining attachment. Therefore, he would rather die in her place than watch her risk her life. This selfless protection is far more moving than Gu Mingyuan's possessive love.
Gu Mingyuan is such a complex character. He is both the enemy who destroyed his country and his former savior. This duality of identity makes readers agonize along with Yunluo. When he silently protected Yunluo for three years as a mute guard, his feelings were genuine; when he raised an army to attack the city and massacred the palace, his hatred was also genuine.
The scene where Gu Mingyuan self-harmed after Yunluo's "death" tugged at my heartstrings. His arms were covered in countless cuts, some scabbed over, others still bleeding. When Liu Fuyu asked him why he did it, he replied, "This physical pain is nothing compared to the heartache I feel." If only he had known this earlier! If he hadn't been so cruel to Yunluo, if he had treated her better, perhaps everything would have been different.
The scene where Gu Mingyuan cuts Yunluo's leg left me deeply disturbed for a long time after reading it. One second he was saying, "I will wait for you to recover and make you my empress," and the next he could be so ruthless. But thinking about it carefully, did he really want to hurt her?
Zhao Ronghua's villainous character is very well-developed. She initially entered the palace for love, falling instantly in love with Gu Mingyuan at first sight in the pavilion. Unfortunately, she loved the wrong person; Gu Mingyuan only had Yunluo in his heart. From jealousy to hatred, from hatred to madness, she walked step by step towards destruction.
Who says a princess of a fallen kingdom is destined to be slaughtered? This princess is determined to turn the tables and tame the tyrannical emperor! A tale of political intrigue, love, and hate, fast-paced and sweet, it's sure to get your heart racing from start to finish. A must-read for anyone looking for something to read!
Gu Mingyuan's act of drawing poison into his own body to save Yunluo, resulting in blindness, is particularly poignant. He could have suppressed the poison with his internal energy, yet he chose to sacrifice himself. Even more heartbreaking is that his first reaction after going blind wasn't to worry about himself, but to fumble his way to Yunluo, only feeling relieved after confirming she was alright. This almost self-destructive love evokes both hatred and heartache.
After escaping the palace, Yunluo lived in a moldy room at the Guihua Gate, sleeping under damp blankets, yet she found it more comfortable than the palace. A gilded cage, no matter how magnificent, is still a cage; a dilapidated hut, no matter how simple, offers freedom. This contrast was heartbreaking; a princess would rather live in a run-down house than return to the palace, demonstrating the depth of the hurt Gu Mingyuan had caused her.
