Please Share Your Number One Historical Romance! I’m Out of Books to Read!

Any Stories with an Ordinary Heroine, Average Looks but Great Charm or Bearing?

I’m tired of stories where every female lead is gorgeous, and I’m tired of female leads from ridiculously wealthy families, too. I just want an inspiring girl’s love story. Angst is fine, too~

Any Novels with Fresh Ideas and Great Stories?

Books like *The Academic Prodigy of Konoha*, *Endless Killing Intent*, *Write Your Own Destiny*, *Infinite Reincarnation Game*, *Dali*, *Replicating Mirror*, *Slaying the Gods*, and so on. No need to recommend the ones everyone already knows. -_-||

Any Sweet Girl-Boy Romance? Please!

Could it be something relatively tame, without explicit content?

A Gentle, Refined Young Lady, a Slow-Burning Story, Pure Historical Romance, No Rebirth or Transmigration

The female lead is a young lady from a prominent family, doted on by her parents. She marries the male lead through an arranged marriage, and at first they treat each other with respect before gradually falling in love.

Any Really Addictive Novels? ♀

I absolutely love novels with a really cuddly, sweet male lead.

Looking for Purely Ancient-Era Stories with a Gentle, Refined Aristocratic Female Lead

No transmigration or rebirth. I've read too many stories where the female lead tramples scumbags and stages a comeback, so I want something different. Thanks, girls!

The Male Lead Was in Love with Someone Else, but Later Falls for the Female Lead

The heroine is the hero's friend and has a secret crush on him. Later, the hero falls for someone else, and it hurts her to watch him pursue the woman he likes. That woman doesn't return his feelings, so he goes through the same heartbreak. Eventually he falls for the heroine and has to grovel to win her back.

The Male Lead Has a First Love, but Grows Fond of the Heroine as They Spend Time Together

I’m a sucker for this kind of plot. It really gets me, please! Ideally, they marry first and fall in love later.

I'm Out of Books to Read. Please Recommend Something!

Comedy + one heroine + superpowers or a System. Ideally the hero and heroine grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and it's sweet. Please!

Looking for a Novel with a Gentle, Aloof, and Perceptive Female Lead

Completed Stories About a Peaceful, Happy Everyday Life

The female lead spent her past life rushing around, busy every single day. After she transmigrates to ancient times or another era, all she does is farm, raise children, and handle the daily necessities. She lives a simple, peaceful life.

Pure Historical Romance

No transmigration, no being reborn, no System.

A Gentle, Refined Male Lead 😶 No Yandere! No Yandere! Historical Setting Preferred

Please Recommend Addictive Historical Romance, I'm Starving for Something Good

Palace and Household Intrigue with the Female Lead as the Legal Wife

Looking for Ancient Romance Novels With Several Couples

Stuck in a Reading Slump, I Can't Continue After Reading a Little, Please Recommend Some Books

Looking for Stories Where the Leads Marry at the Start, but Their Marriage Is Troubled or a Little Angsty

Looking for books like *Suitable to Marry, Suitable to Wed (Waiting for the Moon)*. Focus on married life, not a sweet romance. I want something realistic, with mature writing.

Married From the Start, Love After Marriage: A Sweet Historical Romance

Pure Historical Romance About Marrying into a Prestigious Family as the Primary Wife, with Love Developing After Marriage

Looking for books similar to The Glorious Life of a Noblewoman from a Great Family. No transmigration! No rebirth! I want a sweet romance, purely historical! The feelings should develop only after she marries the male lead! I want a female lead who marries calmly!!! She should have the qualities of a proper wife!! No Mary Sue, no angst.

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 Hero and Heroine Are Normal People! Normal People!!

Are there no normal people on Tomato Novel?! No yanderes! No brooding types! No jealous possessive types! No violent types! No idiots!! Just give me some normal people with solid values 🥹
