Three Books I’ve Read Three Times and Remember Best
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 Best Historical Romance in Your Heart, Completed
Taking requests, I'm out of things to read.

Looking for Historical Romance
White Moonlight
Historical Romance Novels
Any books where the female lead is a princess and the male lead is her personal guard? He loses his memory early on, then regains it later and turns out to be the emperor (or crown prince) of another country. Both leads are strong! What I remember most is a bath scene where the female lead says, "Is that all you've got?"
Any Historical Romance Novels Like Palace Beauty, Spring Banquet, and The Tale of Qingzhi?
No rebirth stories. The only historical novels I could stick with until the end were probably the ones mentioned above.
Any Historical Romance Novels Like He Bu Tong Zhou Du and Yu Jun Huan?
I'd like to read something similar to *Why Not Cross the River Together?* I want a tightly paced plot without dragging, and no plots that make the characters seem stupid.

Not bad, a long-lasting love
I think the story line is okay. It's very interesting and not complicated. There are no intrigues or grievances. At least it's to my liking. The author's writing style is a bit verbose, but he will improve. I look forward to it.
It's very interesting. The protagonist in the book is flesh and blood. I like it very much. Poor Miss Shen San, the road ahead will be very difficult, so take care of it.
It's okay, but in most of the previous plots, the heroine's character is a bit unpopular, such as listening to Miss Meng Er's words and stabbing the hero; the hero has already explained that he doesn't like Miss Meng Er, but the heroine keeps saying that he can wait a few years and let the hero marry the person he likes. It's so speechless. I think part of the plot is a bit sadistic, especially the way the male protagonist's mother forces the male protagonist and the female protagonist to reconcile is so vicious, that episode is heart-wrenching to watch. I have read most of the key plots. Generally speaking, it is not my favorite type of novel. Fortunately, I read it in a skip, otherwise some plots will make people more heartbroken. Friends who like sweet novels do not recommend reading it. Some plots are a bit sadistic and a bit twisted. But the writing style is not bad, but it would be nice to write more about the male and female protagonists, especially the daily life of raising cubs after remarriage [Sending Hearts]
This is what classical literature should be like. It's heartwarming to see how feelings come slowly, from shallow affection to deep affection.
It's okay for the time being. The title of the book doesn't sound like a broken mirror. Don't break up and get back together. It doesn't make any sense.
The plot direction was pretty good at the beginning, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists took their time. Although there was an element of love at first sight, the whole story was more daily-oriented, almost like an ordinary couple. Except for the acceleration of the process at the end of the story, it was a bit too sudden. If the author didn't really want to write a plot, it could be overshadowed. I feel that this plot part is a bit too simple. In fact, it doesn't need to exist. The sub-CP line is still good and the ending is happy.
It's very beautiful, the male protagonist is very kind to the female protagonist [love]
The book is very good to read, and the plot has ups and downs, which made me very worried. The plot is actually very attractive, but there are too many typos and it seems a bit laborious. Maybe that's why the rating is not high.
It's very beautiful. It's so difficult for the male and female protagonists to be together! I cried so hard. There are so many five years in life that we can wait. How can so many people still not change their original intentions? Fortunately, after going through so much, they are still there and still love each other. It is really not easy.
