Road to the Clouds

Looking for High-Quality Farming Novels, From a Veteran Reader With Picky Taste

Recommendations, please!

Pure Historical Romance

No transmigration, no being reborn, no System.

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...

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.

Rebirth Stories About Making a Little Money and Lying Flat to Enjoy Life

Looking for books similar to "Lying Flat: I Achieved Financial Freedom in College".

Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space

It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!

High-Quality No-Romance Stories. Read the Title Before Recommending Anything!

The book recommendation square is really pushing random books these days. There are so few good stories! I don’t want books that are all romance with an overpowered female lead. Please give me something with tight logic, a fast-paced plot, and nuanced characters. I’m begging you!

Please Recommend Palace Maid or Servant Girl Stories, No Climbing the Ranks, Just Something Peaceful 🙏🏻

I Just Love Hard-Mode Famine Escapes! Recommendations, Please, No Pocket Dimension

No pocket dimensions, no golden finger. I like hard mode. That's what makes it exciting.

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

No-Romance Farming Stories (If You Don’t Understand What “No Romance” Means, Don’t Recommend Anything)

I want books similar to Owe the System Six Hundred Million, Get Rich Through Farming. The protagonist can be male or female. No ambiguous relationships, no saintly protagonists, no annoying top-tier relatives, no transmigration into an old woman, and no raising children. A System or spatial storage is fine, as are mountain and coastal foraging.

The Story of Xi Hua Zhi Is Great, Right? Do You Have Any Palace or Household Intrigue Novels That Top It?

Reborn, the heroine refuses to follow her parents’ orders and accept a marriage arranged by a matchmaker. She wants to live life on her own terms instead of wasting away in the harem as she did in her previous life.

Any Novels Similar to Xi Hua Zhi and Chun Ri Yan?

I read The Blossoming Life of a Lady and thought it was great. I just finished Spring Banquet yesterday, and now I'm in a reading slump. Fellow readers, please recommend something!

In a Year of Famine, the Whole Village Chews Tree Bark. I Have a System and a Barn Full of Meat

I'd like something like The Whole Village Chews Tree Bark During Famine, but I Have a System and a Barn Full of Meat (A Bountiful Harvest by the Great River). Are there any similar farming novels with no male lead, just a female lead focused on building her wealth, taking it slowly one step at a time?

Historical Farming Romance, Sweet Everyday Life

Looking for books similar to "The Village's Laziest Beauty Married a Rough Man from the Neighboring Village". Farming stories where the male and female leads work together to build a better life, set in ancient times.

Out of Books, Please Recommend Some!

Looking for books similar to "Stubborn Bones". I've read all the highly rated modern romances on Tomato Novel and can't find anything new! Please recommend modern romances about government workers, cross-border relationships, or Hong Kong vibes!

Looking for Cozy Farming Stories: No System, No Pocket Dimension, No Awful Relatives

A more slice-of-life kind of farming novel.

Good Reads, Highly Recommended, a Cure for a Reading Slump

Looking for stories like "The Cousin Who Stole My Life Falls Apart at the Tsinghua and Peking University Recommendation Banquet". Thanks for the support, friends!

Books I Personally Think Are Really Good

Some books I think are really good! Give them a try.

Palace Intrigue and Household Intrigue Novels

I'm looking for books like "The Foolish Girl Returns". Palace and household intrigue, a well-thought-out plot. Highly recommended.

Period-Era Romance Novels

Looking for books like "After Leaving Her Adoptive Parents’ Home, Her Life Took Off". Period novels and CEO romances. Anyone who likes this book has great taste.

Any Really Awful Books? I Want to Test the Limits of My Patience

Looking for a Novel About Transmigrating to an Ancient-Era Seaside Village to Gather Seafood and Farm

Any Farming Stories with a Male Lead That Aren't About Picking Up a Prince or Lord? I Want to Read About Raising Kids

Looking for books similar to *After Splitting Households with My Mother-in-Law, I Built a House and Stocked It with Grain and Meat (The Home-Reared Young Scholar)*
