The kind that hurts so much it aches, and makes you cry your heart out. Come share those heartbreaking stories that have you sobbing late at night but still unable to put them down!
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).

Tomato's Four Great Tearjerkers 🍅
Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance!
Lately I’ve been looking for an ancient-era romance with realistic, detailed descriptions of everyday life, but it’s so hard to find. I don’t need some grand epic. I just want to read about the daily lives of women in ancient times.
The Hero Hates the Heroine at First, Then Becomes Intensely Possessive
Any genre is fine, including quick transmigration or rebirth. The male lead should hate the heroine at first, then gradually realize how wonderful she is and become addicted to her. When she genuinely starts seeing another man, he should get jealous.

The male lead isn't great, and although I don't like him, the plot and writing are so good that I can't help but keep reading. Based on the current storyline, the male and female leads seem to have a sweet past. The male lead has lost some memories of his past with the female lead.
To be honest, this male lead is really something else; I feel sorry for all the girls in the book. But the plot is pretty good.
Overall, the writing is very good, but when does the female lead die? The prologue is so long, it makes me feel like the female lead's rebirth and the male lead's relationship will end in a bad ending; I can't imagine them having a happy ending. Author, please update more chapters; there are too few right now! Keep it up! 💪
There are plenty of men with two legs. Giving the female lead a gentle and considerate younger man, creating a harem wouldn't be bad either. Princess Anping and her male lovers, haha.
The plot is novel, fast-paced, and very engaging. Having read books for thirty years, I found the plot of this one quite engaging, hence the low rating. The only downside is that the male lead, despite being a general, doesn't seem to do anything productive; he's mostly just chasing after women. 😂
My only motivation to keep watching now is for a tragic ending; I hope the male lead suffers for the rest of his life.
I thought the final knot in their hearts would be untied 🥺 Huaiyue couldn't forget the events of her past life, nor could she escape the pain of the past. She wasn't without love for Huai'an, but she simply dared not love him anymore. Huai'an, too, couldn't bridge the chasm between them.
I just hope the female lead can be free and happy after her rebirth! Whether the male lead is there or not doesn't matter! She's rich, beautiful, and has status. What does she need a man for? A man can just be a spice in her life! There's no need for them to be together. I just hope the female lead can be free and happy after her rebirth! Whether the male lead is there or not doesn't matter!
The plot is truly captivating and fast-paced, but it's also undeniably heart-wrenching. Currently, the male lead seems unclear about his own feelings for the female lead, creating a complex and ambiguous relationship. The female lead, meanwhile, lives cautiously, filled with remorse, but ultimately, fate intervenes, and things don't go as planned. We'll see how things unfold after her rebirth.
I thought Qiu Yueming was a villainous female supporting character, but there's still no concrete explanation. Will the author fill in the plot holes? I really want to read more! 😭☝🏻
