Pure Historical Romance
No transmigration, no being reborn, no System.
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.
A Real Marriage-First, Love-Later Story, No Secret Crushes
Are there any stories where the leads gradually fall in love after marriage, growing closer over time, with a slow pace? The key thing is that neither has been with anyone else!
Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth
Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).
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.

The hostess is awake. The ancient sayings are strong. I like this kind of warm and tender writing. The heroine has her own thoughts and life values. Use beauty and intelligence to win a man's heart. The support is pretty nice. [Like][Like][Like]
I have read too many novels, and this article truly describes "the arrogance of men can be said, but the arrogance of women cannot be said", "the storm of a woman's life comes from marriage and from men", "the brain dies early in love" and "men are thinking animals in the lower body". The men in the novel basically have three wives and four concubines and are irresponsible, and the women are basically depressed, half-hearted and still have to manage a big family, like a big housekeeper. Even the male protagonist has played all the things he should do before marriage, tasted all the new and beautiful things, and only after marriage he and the female protagonist become a loving couple... It's so sad.
The first impression of the article is that it is smooth, the explanation is very clear, and it is in line with the ancient background. The heroine's character is very thorough and sober, and she is calm and steady when she is accused of getting married. She does not make a fuss, but collects information and makes plans for a better future. The whole family is very good, and there is no plot of intrigues in ancient texts. The heroine Su Grandmother Feng also has a very good character. I like her non-pedantic thoughts at that time. She is not bound by the family husband or anything. It is better to live her own life. The family is united and respects each other. There is not too much inferiority. She respects the old and loves the young. The story begins with the marriage proposal and unfolds the royal water. It is very well written. Keep writing.
The concept is clever, the plot development is attractive, and the characters are delicately portrayed. Love it, love it, continue to support
It is an ancient romance novel with a novel theme: Marry first, love later. The heroine is extremely intelligent, calmly deals with things when she is at a disadvantage, and finally wins a happy love for herself. It is addictive, thought-provoking, and worth reading. Finally finished chasing
I like this ancient novel very much. The author writes well, the emotional description is sincere and delicate, the characters are lifelike, and the plot is tactful and touching. I am very much looking forward to the next plot. Come on (*´꒳`*) and give it a five-star review!
The story is very touching. The male and female protagonists are delicately and vividly portrayed. The strange misunderstanding between the two destined people at the beginning, and then the mutual appreciation, understanding, and mutual love later on. This story is very interesting and heartwarming. I like it very much, keep it up! It's really nice, I like it, keep following it!
It's a typical blind marriage, where love comes first, and love comes later. Compared with the colorful men in the work, the male protagonist Yuan Chenghao is rare, so Su Feng is the happiest heroine. Su Yue lived for love and died for love. Infatuated women have existed since ancient times. Unfortunately, they ended up paying the price to Yuan Chenghong, a heartless man who was so passionate.
The role of Su Feng is well portrayed. She can be salty or sweet, not frightened by favors or humiliations, can withstand the wind and waves, and endure the ordinary. She is a sober heroine in the world. She uses another slow and steady way to strategize, and the subtlety lies in it! Using the simple and plain firewood, rice, oil and salt, the parents show another way of life.
The princess was very kind to Su Feng. She believed that the young couple had a good relationship and there was no need to cause trouble between them. She was reasonable and did not want Su Feng to be offended. The main story line is exciting, the characters have distinct personalities, and they are beautiful to watch.
