I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving.

Please Recommend Sweet Novels With No Angst at All and Fewer Chapters
Looking for books like *I Easily Win Over the Campus Hottie by Copying Everyone* (*Secretly Keeping Him*). I can’t get through really long books, so around one or two hundred chapters would be good. It has to be sweet; I can’t handle angst. A humorous style would be nice.

Books You Want to Read Again
Looking for books similar to *Wild Grass Is No White Moonlight*. The heroine is level-headed, understands her situation, knows her own heart, and feels like a fully realized person. It's still ongoing, but it gives me a reason to keep following it, and the story is good.

It's really good. I haven't read this novel for a long time. I only read six chapters of this one and I think it's a good novel. Please update it as soon as possible.
The plot is compact, fascinating, and sweet.
I just read a few chapters and it's quite interesting, but I don't know if it's a short story or a long story. It's hard to wait.
The plot is ups and downs and compact, without any drag. The only flaw is that the third and fifth princes are confused in the front, and there are also confusions in the names of the later ones. But the story is attractive and does not give up. If there is an ending with Mrs. Jiang and General Fei, it will be perfect!
The storyline is fascinating and super fun to watch!
The overall framework is still very good, but the author is stupid and can't tell the difference between the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince [laughing and crying]
After reading this, I have a feeling that both men and women must take good care of themselves first before they can be able to take care and protect the people they love. The male protagonist in the story lives in a complicated and troubled world and must first learn to protect himself. The female protagonist lives in a family where men are superior to women and she appears as a tool. If she has no value, she will be marginalized. With her own intelligence, she finally walked out of her own world. At the same time, both of them have feelings for their family and country. For the sake of the people, they work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world.
The structure of the article is clear and the content of this article is smooth and flowing, and the content is even more memorable.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a bloody ancient novel. The storyline is very good, and you won't feel bored even if you read some chapters over and over again. The emotions of the characters are described in detail, especially the tragedy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which makes the viewers emotionally emotional. This work is really worth watching [Like][Like][Like]
I like the plot very much, and I still think it's pretty good to watch. It's just that sometimes it jumps a little fast, just like fast forwarding when watching TV. I hope some places are written more carefully and explained more clearly.
