The Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans: Marriages Between Aristocratic Families
I want stories about the love and hate among powerful aristocratic clans: the Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans, who only marry into other great clans and don't take the imperial family seriously.

I'm looking forward to how the story unfolds. The male and female leads are quite well-developed characters, making it worth reading. Although neither is valued by their families, they each have their own way of living and aren't bound by family ties. The only drawback is that I think the novel's background is poor. It includes time travel and reincarnation elements, making it too mixed.
Although it is a "substitute marriage," it is not a forced "arranged marriage," but a "good marriage" that the male and female protagonists make after analyzing the pros and cons and going with the flow, and which can grow stronger through cooperation. Two seemingly insignificant families were exiled to Jinling in their youth for various reasons.
It's a very good read; the relationship between the two characters is traceable and develops gradually. Trust is the most essential foundation of love. In this book, I saw the actions that should be taken to show love, but since it's a historical romance novel, some of the actions are a bit violent, so I wouldn't recommend reading it.
It's a good watch. Tired of those melodramatic, love-hate relationships filled with endless heartbreak and torment? This kind of story, where characters work together, pamper each other, and never suffer any losses, is so satisfying. Highly recommended.
I would call this a true "feel-good" novel. Both the male and female leads are sharp-tongued, there are no misunderstandings, they are both highly intelligent, and they never suffer injustice; if they do, it's not for nothing. The main theme is "If I can't have it easy, no one else can." Recommended.
It's a great read, with a fresh premise. The female lead is like Lin Daiyu, coughing softly during the day, but a ruthless killer by night; the male lead appears pitiful and unloved, but is actually cunning, ruthless, and efficient. With these characters, they're a perfect duo, demonstrating the power of unity and invincibility. It's a pity it's still being serialized; I'll have to put it on my bookshelf and wait for it to grow before reading.
It's a great read. Both the male and female leads are low-key people who settle scores immediately. They're good at everything – fighting, arguing, making money – and they're infuriatingly ruthless. They think the female lead is a pushover and want to bully her, but don't they know that even a pushover will leave you with a handful of juice? I highly recommend this book; it's very good.
I loved it! It didn't make the female lead suffer, nor did it use any face-slapping plots to increase the enjoyment; in fact, it doubled the enjoyment. It's even better than some novels labeled as "feel-good" stories; it truly makes the reader feel happy.
The male and female leads are absolutely the most well-matched couple in Tomato's novels. Both are self-serving, prioritizing power and money for their own families, with little regard for the well-being of ordinary people. Unlike some novels where the protagonist is clearly a villain yet embodies a noble cause, constantly working for the benefit of the people—it's utterly unrealistic.
It's super good! The couple isn't overly sentimental; they're quick to avenge each other, decisive, and straightforward—it's exhilarating!
