Are There Any Foodie Novels on Tomato?
Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!
Novels Similar to Starting Out by Selling Strength
A funny urban story with a System and spiritual qi revival.
Stories About Cautious Little Nobodies
Looking for books like Hoarding Supplies in a Natural Disaster: A Socially Anxious Girl Living Alone. It doesn’t have to be about a disaster. I just want a female lead living on her own, with a small golden finger. Just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

I’m Tired of Female Leads Traveling to the Qing Dynasty. Are There Any Set in the Tang, Qin, Han, Song, or Ming Dynasties?
It can be palace intrigue, household intrigue, or a female-led story. The female lead shouldn't be too clueless.

They start out disliking each other, then solve cases and fall in love along the way.
Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.
Ensemble Stories with Lots of Couples and Plenty of Playful Bickering, Please!
I want something like *The Whole Class Transmigrates to Ancient Times, and the Ministers Beg Us to Stop Causing Trouble*.
Food Novels Focused Purely on Cooking, No Random Plotlines!
Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!
Comics! Good Comics with Dual Male Leads! I Can't Find Any Good Ones!!!
Looking for Female-Targeted Stories Where the Heroine Transmigrates Into a Real Historical Dynasty, Not an Alternate World
I'm looking for books like The Life of a Genius Wife. Male readers, please skip this one. I want a story told from the heroine's perspective, so don't recommend male-led stories. Any dynasty is fine, and any genre. Romance or no romance is fine, but please no fictional dynasties.
Books Where the Protagonist Transmigrates Back to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, or Other Dynasties
Any dynasty is fine, including the Tang, Three Kingdoms, Ming, or Song.

After reading the first few chapters, I felt good. The author's writing is online and the introduction is clear. I especially like the heroine's character. It is so rare among the various articles that emphasize the beauty and foolishness of the heroine. However, no one has read it, and there are so few reviews. Maybe it is because there is less description of the male protagonist in the early stage? I haven't seen the specific character of the male protagonist yet, but I really like this kind of characters where both men and women have flaws and imperfections. Come on, Mrs. Author!
I personally think the rating should be 9.6. It is a very nice novel. I won't say much more about this aspect. The ending made me tear up. I like the author's expressions. He is witty and humorous. Everything can be personified and funny. The most important thing is that the protagonist in the book does not curse women and pays attention to gender words. Although it is a small detail, it very much reflects the author's own thoughts and feelings and female consciousness. I feel tired every time I see those heroine protagonists scolding women, being proud and being praised as a hero. This book is not only well written but also makes me feel comfortable reading it! Thank you author!
I usually read the entire book before commenting! But the author says no one will read this book! I'm so angry, why no one reads such a beautiful article! ! ! The female protagonist is humorous and tenacious, and she has traveled to the Tang Dynasty to live in Gou. The male protagonist is reckless and super real (like a real person, hahaha). The author is a person who loves life very much, and the articles he writes are full of life. "Chang'an Lantern" is not only an ancient novel, but also an article about Tang Dynasty customs and food. It gives me the same feeling as "Three Thousand Miles of Floating Light", both are super good-looking! ! ! If Fu Guang was my favorite ancient Chinese proverb last year, then this one is my favorite this year! I can feel that the author is carefully carving out this book and every character~
It's a very funny and interesting story. The little tug-and-war between the two during their ambiguous period made me unable to hold my mouth shut. The author also adds a lot of notes, which some people may not like, but I think the notes are very good. They briefly describe the real background and are also playful. The author is very careful. Ps: The cousin who defected to me didn't have a bloody female rivalry, so feel at ease.
The story is well written and there is nothing poisonous about it. But the writing style is indeed limited. When I read the previous article, I felt that the author was trying very hard to write a good work, but he had not polished his writing style yet. Overall, it's a lot better than those mindless cool novels, and the plot arrangement is also reasonable. But…^-^… The writing style is too weird in some places, which doesn't mean it's not fluent, but the grammar is too ordinary. Ancient Chinese novels are either rich in writing or witty and humorous. Even if they are simple and unpretentious, the sentences must have flavor. Once the narrative is flat, it will easily expose its shortcomings and fail to satisfy the appetite of old readers. The thing I want to complain about the most is that many outstanding places always use the sentence structure of "... Of...". It's too frequent, it's really too frequent, it's included in everything I write! It gave me a sense of instant vision [laughing and crying] Obviously using another way of expression would have been more stunning, but it failed in a straightforward way. It makes me a little regretful... In short, I hope the author can write better, and polishing two more books should make it even better. Readers who are not picky about writing style should not have the above impression. I recommend it ~
Finally finished reading. It's very good. I'm going to check out the author's other works. It can be seen that every word is typed by the author himself. Nowadays, there is a very bad trend of using AI to write. I didn't understand it before. After reading a few books, I always felt weird. The plot setting should be okay, but the description is unspeakably pretentious and mysterious. Later, some book friends said it was AI writing! Alas, I don't know how to evaluate it, but I feel that it is getting harder and harder to read good books! I hope to work hard and continue to produce good works!
It's pretty good. In the early stage, the food story is from the female protagonist's perspective, and the story is from the male protagonist's perspective. In the middle stage, the two perspectives began to merge, and there was even a tomb robbing story in the later stage (?). But no matter which perspective gave me the feeling that it showed more about the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty. As I watched it, I started to imagine how people ate and talked at that time [laughing] It kind of reminded me of Ma Boyong's "Lychees of Chang'an" that I watched before. What I like most is the unconventional characters of the male and female protagonists. When Xiao Cui first appeared, he thought he was a cold-blooded man, but he turned out to be a bitchy and venomous, and he would occasionally get embarrassed. Xiao Jiang is not a perfect heroine. She is not as beautiful as a flower, has been in love, and is not coy about relationships. She pursues her if she likes her, and breaks up with her if she doesn't. She has a very non-internal character. The two are proficient in burping, grinding teeth, farting and snoring (?) The male and female protagonists are very human. I feel that the author has a very rich understanding of life. There are some things that I don't like and regret. One is that the ambiguous process of the male and female protagonists has been greatly omitted by the author. Although it is understandable that this is because the book is not very popular, but the lives of us unpopular readers also matter! (π_π) I really like the ambiguous period! It doesn't matter how long the ambiguous period lasts! But it was already very difficult for the author to finish writing and he could only get a little angry1551. Another is the abrupt time-travel of some ingredients. Maybe the author wanted to put his favorite dishes in reality [laughing and crying], but it was really abrupt. If it were an imaginary dynasty, it would not be too obvious. For example, if you write a few more strokes on a piece of paper full of things, it will not be easy to be discovered, but if you draw a few strokes on a white paper, it will be very conspicuous. The same is true for unexpected ingredients. Furthermore, it is also good to use the ingredients of the Tang Dynasty to develop new cuisine, but there are fewer of them in the later period, so they can be ignored.
It's really good to watch. I can't bear to be fooled by it. In the early stage, the male protagonist is a bit strong before he gets to know the female protagonist. In the later stage, the male protagonist's love brain is not rigorous in some places. But overall, it's really good-looking and funny. It's a sweet article that can be read by anyone except the sophisticated party. Are you worried about the slow update? [Working on draft] The author reads his novel several times and fills in the holes he left before.
The writing style reminds me of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", because whether it is writing about the environment or the case, it has a sense of substitution, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is blowing against my face, so even if the heroine travels through time, it will not make people jump out of it. This kind of slow-cooked plot is worth watching again and again, but the popularity is very low. Such a great plot and setting, I want to add more comments.
I read it very carefully at the beginning. The author must have read a lot of historical books before writing this book. In fact, from the very beginning, I felt that Xueyan was Princess Wencheng. This character has always had a sense of innocence with a sad background. Because I knew the history of Princess Wencheng very early, it was really sad to see Xueyan marrying Tubo in the final chapter. The bright and innocent Wu Niang was forced to grow up at a tragic speed and way. Human beings are just dust-like existences in the rolling torrent of history.
