Looking for stories similar to "The Abandoned Divine Doctor Returns Reborn".
Family Feud Stories Like The Story of Minglan
No Mary Sue characters or golden fingers. The female lead should be fairly intelligent. I only want family power-struggle stories, no palace intrigue.
Is Women’s Fiction in Decline? Looking for Fresh, Original Stories. No BL
Back when I was editing, there was no such thing as romances between two men or two women. Well, maybe there were, but they hadn't taken off yet.

Truly Stunning Historical Romance
Please avoid overly cliché tropes.
Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes
I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.
The Heroine Is a Concubine with a Curvy Figure. The Hero Is a Prince, Crown Prince, or Emperor
Qianshan Chake Writes So Well, I Can't Enjoy Any Other Historical Fiction
A few years ago, I read Shen Jiaojiao and Xie Jingxing's story. I just finished "The Grand Princess Bride" and got completely hooked. I don't feel like reading any other historical novels now. I'm also looking for historical novels with detailed palace intrigue and a deeply cunning heroine who takes revenge, like Shen Miao and Jiang Li.

Are there any pure palace-intrigue novels without reborn or transmigrate plots, and without an overpowered protagonist aura? Lately everything has been about transmigration and rebirth, and I’m sick of it.
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.

Are There No More Books With Writing as Good as Yan Sanhe's?
I'm looking for books like "The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Hundred". I've read all over the place, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction alike: palace intrigue, rebirth, cultivation, horror, comedy, CEO romances, detective stories, ghost hunting, the mortal and spirit realms, gods, golden fingers, you name it. I'm not into books that only obsess over romantic relationships. I love stories with a grand scope.

Looking for books like "The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her". The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.
Underrated Historical Romance with Excellent Writing: No Transmigration, No Cheats, No Brain-Dead Characters
In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊
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.

Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core
No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.

This is my favorite article. I like watching the palace fights. Please don't let the heroine become a concubine 👍👍👍
There aren't many good first-person novels, but this one is compact and the plot doesn't drag on, which is pretty good. The only problem is that this article is not very interesting. The heroine's experience is not that of being aggrieved, but that she suffered all-round persecution from the feudal imperial power. When reading the article, be sure to remember: the most ruthless emperor's family. In this way, you won't feel surprised or regretful when watching the subsequent plot development.
It's a nice article, and the heroine's growth line is well written. I also really like the heroine's family of origin, and the supporting characters are also very fleshed out. I hope the author will be more enthusiastic.
The plot is logical, not brainless, the plot is heartfelt, and the characters are also very interesting. Except for the inexplicable emotional line, I like it all 💕 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰
This book really stood out to me. The subject matter was something I had never seen before, and the writing was very good. It created the image of a affectionate and righteous girl, which was really lovable. The plot is also very interesting. It is really good to break away from the prison of competing for favor and become a third party, giving advice to others! Every time I read this book, my eyes light up. The value of conduction in it is really great!
It's so beautiful. It's written delicately and very engagingly.
So pretty! The plot is really compact, and the author is very gripping. I really love it. There are many cases in it that I really enjoyed reading. I rarely read them all in one go. But it's a pity that it's not over yet 🥺. I think this book is really good, and I really hope it can be made into a TV series, like The Story of Yanxi Palace. Oh my god, it's so beautiful!
From the middle to the end, there is no peeing point in the whole process. It is a mature novel, and the rhythm is well controlled. It feels like the heroine leaves the palace and is with the Imperial Physician Bian! The male protagonist is no longer a prince, which makes people feel comfortable. I specially commented after watching the ending just to see this scene.
I originally saw it on the recommendation list and wanted to read it, but I was attracted by it from the beginning. The writing style is very similar to that of the popular Gong Qianliu. It has that kind of aura and is really good to read. I read it in one sitting. It is not the kind of heroine golden finger. The pace is also very good. I really like it. 🥰 🥰 It has been a long time since I have seen a novel that suits my appetite.
Very realistic, very delicate, very logical, worth watching
