Marriage First, Love Later, but Nothing That Feels Generic
I hope it's something with writing as good as "Ruan Chen Enjing". Also, "Ruan Chen Enjing" is really good.
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.

Looking for Historical Romance, Where the Leads Meet Naturally
Historical Romance: A Cool, Gentle Lady × A Spirited Young General
I'm really picky about what I read. I don't like farming or palace-intrigue stories. I want something sweet! Reborn or quick transmigration stories are fine, too. Most important is good writing! 😭
Looking for a Short Romance with Good Values and No Scheming Women or Other Frustrating Drama
I'd like both the male and female leads to have sound values. I personally don't like it when family members are portrayed as villains. I've been out of books to read for a long time.

Not bad, a love that flows like a gentle stream.
I think the storyline is fine; it's engaging and not complicated, without the usual scheming and backstabbing, which suits my taste perfectly. The author's writing style is a bit verbose, but it will improve. I look forward to it.
It's a very good book. The main characters are very vivid and relatable. I really like it. Poor Miss Shen, her future will be very difficult. Take care.
It's alright, but I didn't really like the female lead's character in most of the early episodes. For example, she stabbed the male lead after believing Miss Meng's words; the male lead had already explained that he didn't like Miss Meng, but the female lead kept saying they could wait a few years and get a divorce so he could marry someone he liked, which was ridiculous.
This is what classical literature should be like: the gradual development of emotions, from shallow feelings to deep affection, is truly moving.
It's alright for now. Judging from the title, it doesn't seem like a story of reconciliation after a breakup. Hopefully, it won't end in separation and reconciliation; it's pointless.
The plot started off well, with the main couple's relationship developing gradually, although there was an element of love at first sight. The whole story was quite slice-of-life, similar to that of an ordinary couple. However, the accelerated pace at the end felt a bit abrupt.
It's a really good show! The male lead is so good to the female lead ❤️
The book is quite good, with a gripping and suspenseful plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is actually very engaging, but there are too many typos, making it a bit difficult to read. Perhaps that's why it didn't get a high rating.
It's such a good show! The way the male and female leads got together was so difficult! I cried buckets. How many five-year periods can one wait in a lifetime? How many people would remain true to their initial feelings? Thankfully, after going through so much, they're still together, still in love. It's truly remarkable.
