Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂
I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.

The Heroine Isn’t the Legal Wife, but the Hero Spoils Her Rotten
Looking for books similar to The Delicate Noble Consort Has Her Ways (also known as: The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility). The male lead should dote on and protect the heroine, but she shouldn't be a naive, airheaded sweetheart.

Historical Romance with a Maidservant Female Lead and a Chaste Couple
Begging for recommendations 📖 No one being reborn, no one transmigrating, and the leads must both be pure. Historical romance, with the female lead as a maid or handmaid and the male lead as a crown prince, emperor, heir, prince, or the like. Anything works.

The plot may have flaws, but overall it's one of my two favorite novels about concubines that I've read recently. I don't like novels that abuse female characters, but the male lead in this one is very well-developed. He's the kind of person who, even setting aside his feelings for the female lead, is still a good person.
It's good! I hope the female lead truly falls in love with him, instead of always resorting to the same old trope of taking the money and leaving. Several stories have written it like that 🤦
I hope they stay together forever, and that the male and female leads don't misunderstand each other. I want to read something sweet! 🤭 The author's writing is very captivating; I really want to keep reading! 👍👍
It's good, but not finished yet. The female lead is worldly-wise, selfish yet full of love. She's beautiful and self-aware. The male lead is handsome, intelligent, has status and position, and is devoted. He's like the Tang Monk's flesh in ancient times—every female supporting character wants a piece of his flesh. Perfect.
Sure, sure. I've read about thirty chapters, and it's pretty good. The male lead is doing well so far too. I'll keep reading!
First of all, let me state: the following text represents only my personal opinion. Please refrain from criticism if you disagree! Thank you! [Salute] I've read almost two thousand pages, and the content concept seems okay, but the pacing is too slow. It feels like I've been reading for ages, and when I look back, the story has only just begun. The further I read, the more boring it gets.
It's pretty good, with a solid core. The female lead is very clear-headed and knows what she wants. The plot is also well-written, though it has some old-fashioned novel tropes, but it's still very enjoyable to read. There's basically no lingering resentment; it even made my breasts feel sore.
I really couldn't get enough! Keep up the good work, author! Five stars for you!
So far, there hasn't been anything I found unwatchable. Yiyi is adorable, but there are just too many people who like the male lead. Almost every noblewoman who appears falls for him and targets the female lead. Overall, it's still worth watching.
To put it simply, this novel isn't my type. The female lead's status is too weak in the early stages; she's too obsessed with status, so my initial impression wasn't good. However, the writing is very delicate, and the female lead has her own independence. Overall, the male lead really loves the female lead. It's a great example of the "domineering CEO falls in love with me" kind of story.
