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.

Military Romance, Marriage Arranged by the Families
Everyone, does anyone know a story like this? The male lead is an officer from a well-connected family. His parents find a female lead for him, arrange their marriage directly, and send her into the unit. The leads have never met, but eventually fall in love with each other. I absolutely love this kind of story!

Looking for books like *The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her*. The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

It's good to read. I always think that ancient romance novels are better than modern romance novels. The heroine is pretty, loving and a little cute, and the hero is brave, resourceful, handsome, and dedicated. The second male lead, who is unhappy, has never been married, and the male protagonist's brother and princess are a pair of funny and kind best friends. It's a pity that Ji met a blind man. I really want to see the extra story about the hero and heroine's daughter
I like this kind of slowly falling in love, a little bit sadistic, I love it to death, ah ah ah ah, there is a second male lead as a foreshadowing, I love it to death, and the heroine is not a very miserable one, so love 😍😍😍 The brother and the princess are so sweet, I really like this feeling, please update soon 😭😭😭😭
It's good to watch, but I felt uncomfortable at first. I felt really bad when the lead actor was cut off. The lead actor and lead actor are both great people. It's just fate.
It's very interesting. The heroine and the male lead have a close relationship and they both understand each other. There is no plot where no one is hurting the other and ends up hating the other out of love or resenting the male lead and seeking revenge from the male lead. It's nice to just let everything take its course. The male and female protagonists get along very cutely, it's very interesting, and it's very good-looking at the moment [Like]
It's really good to watch [Adoration] [Adoration] At first, I was more on the side of the second male lead, but as the plot of the male protagonist and female protagonist followed, I felt it was very sweet [Blowing Kiss], I really like this kind of love that lasts for a long time, and the water flows smoothly. Really pretty! ! It's not a loss [please give me more updates][please give me more updates]! ! Stop making malicious comments [cover your face][cover your face]
At first, I was attracted by the name and cover. After reading the introduction, I found it quite interesting. Later, I spent two or three days reading it. This book really attracted me. Whether it is the male protagonist (Shi Yan) or the female protagonist (Jiang Jiuchu), they are both very kind and pure people. The same goes for the second male lead. The previous section describes the relationship between the second male protagonist (Song Fuge) and the female protagonist. I refused it at first, but later I discovered that the second male protagonist is also a gentle person, and did not take any overstep after learning that the female protagonist was married. The heroine understood her own mind after going through many struggles. The male protagonist initially disliked the female protagonist and gradually fell into disfavor. At the same time, the heroine's friend (Ji Shuran)'s line was also very good. I thought she would not be able to let go of Gu Changxuan, but not so. Every character is described with flesh and blood, making me feel like they really exist. I watched the process of their getting to know each other and falling in love from God's perspective, and I can feel that their journey was not easy. 🥺I hope they are still happy in the parallel world. 🥰
It's very interesting. I think the order of the characters' appearances is very logical. Although I was attracted to Yige and Chuchu in the first half, I was attracted to Shiyan and Chuchu in the later stages. I think the replacement of the male protagonist was the one I pursued when I first started writing the article. If I don't have the patience to read the content later, I won't be able to grasp the key point of the book [laughing] The introduction is very clear about the male protagonist and the order of appearance of the characters is very well written. Those who didn't fall in love must be in the pit now. Every chapter is very interesting. Both the male and female protagonists and the boy are very good 👍 Come on, Dad [Sending my heart]
I really like the characters in it. The female protagonist Jiang Jiuchu is a very cute but beautiful young lady, and her IQ is also very high. The male protagonist is Shi Yan, who is very intelligent and has a very vicious mouth, but he is really considerate of the female protagonist. In the front, the female protagonist and the second male lead have many emotional lines. When the female protagonist gets married, she and the male protagonist are really at odds with each other. Well, they are Shuangjie. But the second male lead is also wholeheartedly devoted to the female lead, but they are destined to have no connection (づ¯³¯)づ💕Although it is a pity, the plot may be different from before, because the second male lead is used as a foreshadowing of the plot. However, it uses a novel plot to introduce the story of the male protagonist and the heroine. If you like this kind of plot, come and read it quickly, because I think this novel is quite interesting, not a mindless novel. In the early stage, the heroine relied more on the second male lead, but this is a story about two people. It also tells a story that if you miss something, you have missed it, and you still have to move forward. There will be some official supporting characters in the interview, mainly because the plot of the second male lead does not appear much later. Mainly the love story between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. I really think it's very interesting. I recommend it ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧ What I like most is that the whole article is very logical, that is, whether it is other supporting characters, it is quite good for the whole storyline. There is no existence with low IQ, but it is more of a sweet story between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but it also paves the way for the article. But there will also be some ups and downs in the plot, definitely yes, mainly the storyline of the fight between the fifth prince and the seventh prince.
Finally, there is a book that does not admit the wrong benefactor. When their relationship was at its best, she was forced to marry the seventh prince. Later, she had him (the seventh prince) by her side, and she had a family behind her, so she was left alone, and it was hard to get over it after all. The first half tells the story of the heroine and her benefactor, and the middle part tells the story of her and the seventh prince. They are all so beautiful, I can't stop. In the end, the palace changed, and he gave her Li Shu with the idea of for her own good. Since then, he has been chasing his wife for a long time, but he no longer feels that she is good enough. As mentioned in the article, in the eyes of outsiders, it is excusable because it is to protect you. But for the people in the game, the harsh words exchanged during the breakup are lingering in their hearts over and over again, and they feel the pain of being familiar with the situation! At the same time, I feel sorry for my best friend who paid her by mistake. The author didn't give her a good ending.
It's great. This book has a different beginning. It's different from the old clichéd beginnings I've read before. This article first writes about the encounter between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. In the early stage, the two of them also had a good fight [laughing] (forget it later, I have to raise the banner for Shi Yan [top post]) and then later Chu Chu got to know and fall in love with Shi Yan step by step, and it seemed like I had participated in their colorful lives😊. Reading this does not mean that their story is over. I hope that Chu Chu and Shi Yan will continue to love each other in their world and continue to write their love story [crazy]
