If Tomato Novels Had a Hall of Fame, These Would Be the Few Inductees
These books are all masterpieces on Fanqie. There’s no single best one.
Period Pieces! What's Your Number One Pick?
I want to read something like "The Day I Died, My Rough-and-Ready Husband Held Me and Cried All Night".
An Amazing Historical-Era Novel
The female lead is reborn and sets out to get rich. It's a period novel that really captures its era.
Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.
Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.
I Want Tomato's All-Time Masterpieces, Nothing Less
Looking for books similar to "The Beast City".
Any Understated, Sensible Period Novels? Not the Kind Where They Eat Lavish Meals Every Day
Looking for books like Making Others Happy? I'd Rather Make Myself Happy. Historical-era story with a female lead. It doesn't matter whether she transmigrates or has a golden finger, but it shouldn't be brainless or too showy. I hate those stories where she has a pocket dimension people can enter but insists on cooking outside, and is always...
Looking for Historical-Era Novels Worth Rereading
Set in the 1960s or 1970s. No pocket dimension, no golden finger, and the female lead didn't go to university.
Period Dramas Rated Above 9.5
Bring on the period dramas! ✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡
I've Recently Gotten into Stories Set in a Bygone Era. I Fell Down the Rabbit Hole and Can't Get Out
Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots
Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.
Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs
A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.
Please Recommend Highly Rated Period Pieces. No Dumbed-Down Plots or Cringey Scenes
Looking for Era Novels Rated 9.6 and Up: Essential Reads for Beginners
I'd like to read books similar to "Reborn in the 1980s: My Wife Is a Little Spicy." Let's talk about those period novels that got you hooked. Recommend one so good you won't be able to put it down. You'll be completely unable to stop reading.
Reborn in a Bygone Era 🙏

Looking for a Novel Where the Male Lead Has to Support Two Families, and Has Been Plotting It All Along
Looking for books like After My Brother-in-Law Took on Both Branches of the Family, My Husband Came Back (Record of Missing You).
I'm Hooked on Stories Set in a Bygone Era Lately!!! No Storage Spaces!! No Golden Fingers!
Preferably complete, well-written rather than amateurish, and fast-paced.
Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess
The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

No female leads who work themselves to the bone doing everything! Absolutely no chasing after the male lead, and no second or third babies! Either no children or just one!!! 🥰
Period Novels You Won't Want to Skip a Chapter Of

Why is the rating so low? It's really good! The two kids are adorable, and the gossip is shocking, especially the scene where the male and female leads are sharing their gossip on both sides that night—it's both satisfying and hilarious, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The fact that the male lead works as a kitchen helper, even if it's just a temporary role, makes it feel very relatable.
I skimmed through it, and some plot points were a bit redundant, but overall it was alright. Compared to other historical novels of the same genre, at least it didn't emphasize the male lead to diminish the female lead's charm. Most other historical novels feature incredibly powerful male leads while the female lead is merely beautiful and delicate, waiting for the male lead to rescue her in…
Many couples become tiresome after a while. It's either the man is too strong and the woman too weak, or the woman is so strong the man feels insignificant. But the male and female leads in this book are a couple I really like. The female lead, a wealthy heiress, is insightful, decisive, and capable. She's not love-struck, highly intelligent, and possessive of her own things.
I think it's very well written. In the early stages, the male and female leads are bothered by many trivial matters and there are various minor conflicts, which can be a little frustrating. However, as the story progresses, the author's writing style improves significantly. Both the male and female leads are working hard to build a better life for their family and their child.
It's so good!!! One of the few books I've finished reading on Tomato Bookstore. The female lead and male lead are both incredibly strong, charming, intelligent, and charismatic, with a powerful presence and strong sexual tension. The initial misunderstandings about their relationship are minor and not explored in detail.
This is truly the most satisfying book I've read in recent years, even better than many books with ratings above 9.3. All the characters are incredibly well-developed, and the plot's direction and pacing are seamlessly interwoven. It stands out even within the genre of historical fiction, with both the main storyline and the protagonists' romantic relationships being remarkably mature.
It's pretty good. The main plot seems to revolve around how the male and female leads resolve their misunderstandings. Because their social statuses were so different in their past lives, even when they're together, there are many things they're unwilling to say. It's a slow and steady story, and the writing and plot are quite good. Worth reading! 😄
It's a really good read. The author's writing is excellent, the logic is clear, the male and female leads have great personalities and positive values, it's unconventional, and it has a gentle, warm feel to it.
The writing is excellent, which already surpasses over 90% of Tomato's books. The content is novel, breaking away from increasingly homogenized concept templates; this book is destined to soar to great heights.
Why is such a good book rated so low? The theme is fresh and unconventional, much better than those novels where you can guess the ending after reading a few dozen chapters. Every character is so vivid and independent. They don't become mediocre just to highlight the male and female leads. It's truly, truly good. It's the best historical novel I've read in recent months.
