Historical Novels Where the Male Lead Holds the Female Lead in His Arms, Comforts Her, and Spoils Her
The hero absolutely adores the heroine. No modern-day settings, please!!!
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.
Looking for Historical Romance. Pure Romance!! No Rebirth!! No Transmigration!
I'm looking for something like "The Story of Minglan", where the male and female leads follow their feelings but always observe proper boundaries, and never cross the line before marriage!!
A Martial-Arts-Skilled, Badass Female Lead and a Scheming, Powerful Male Lead, Set in Ancient Times, Who Dote on Each Other
Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System
I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).
Historical Stories Where She Marries the Male Lead From the Start, Extra Sweet
The sweeter the better, and I want the story to move fast.
Looking for Pure Romance Books
Any pure-romance recommendations? Something set in modern times, with either a male-female or male-male couple.
Pure Historical Romance: A Cultured, Well-Bred Female Lead
No transmigration, no being reborn, and no overly carefree protagonists.
Cool, Proper Young Lady × Spirited Young General
Marriage First, Love Later!!! Historical Romance, No Rebirth or Transmigration!!!
Super Sweet Romance Novels
Please recommend an incredibly pure and sweet romance. The kind where just holding hands makes them blush for ages ᖰ•͈ ₃ •͈ᖳ
Historical Romance: Marriage First, Love Later
The kind where a prince is forced to marry a princess, then falls hopelessly in love with her later.
Historical Fantasy, Romance, and BL
Any pure-love historical novels with a satisfying story and no melodrama? (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵)
Boys’ Love! Boys’ Love! Boys’ Love!
No pure romance, please!
Looking for Historical Romance With Two Strong Leads
Looking for books similar to Palace Willows. Any stories where the hero and heroine love trading barbs, but she has no idea he's incredibly powerful? Later, she finds out, and he admits it. Both leads are strong. The book below is just a random pick because I couldn't find anything similar.
New Novels Only, Not Older Ones
Any good new novels to read? The books on the reading plaza are all old ones I’ve already gotten tired of. Are there any good new novels?

The love between Ah Wu and Yan Zhao is really well interpreted. The two have experienced strong winds and waves, but also experienced the long and steady flow. The most touching thing is the battle in the East China Sea. Ah Wu firmly chose to side with Yan Zhao. Of course, Ah Wu is also firmly loved by Yan Zhao. I really like this kind of evenly matched and two-way love. Looking forward to the next new book 😘
The character of the male protagonist really touches me. He may have the most responsibility in the early stage, but he is a very good person in his own right. There is no misunderstanding between both parties. A long-term relationship with responsibility and mutual help can be regarded as another kind of romance and happiness. Best wishes!
I love the characters of the male and female protagonists so much. They love each other tenderly and bravely. The female protagonist is very brilliant. She is not a delicate dodder, but a brave and resourceful heroine who fights side by side with the male protagonist. I really like the author's writing. It's gentle and powerful, and the emotional descriptions are brilliant.
It's really super pretty! The author's writing style is also very good ~ this book really met all my expectations! I finished reading without missing a chapter. Are you looking forward to a follow-up article from the author? Or the second book of this article ~ Let's see how the children go into battle to kill the enemy with the male and female generals ~ I'm really looking forward to it 😳
Ah Wu went from being a noble girl who regarded the marriage as a prison to being able to break free from the prison and become the person she wanted to be. It was her ability to open the cage. She is not a weak heroine who needs to be saved in the traditional sense. Even if she is protected by Yan Zhao, she will still bloom a rose with unique colors. Ah Wu and Yan Lang achieve each other's success, but never cover up each other's light.
After reading it, I felt empty for a long time. Ah Wu is a delicate flower. When she met Yan Zhao, a green leaf, the two of them were really compatible. From the beginning of politics to the end of being inseparable from each other, it was a beautiful love.
To put it simply: the writing is very good and the story line is well organized and fast. In fact, the writing can be expanded a little and some interesting things from life can be interspersed, so that it will not be too compact (just my personal opinions and suggestions)
This is an ancient book that I like very much. The author's writing style is very good! The male and female protagonists are very easy to get along with and have very good personalities. The mutual support between them is so vividly described that it made me want to re-read it N times even though I don't know much about ancient Chinese ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
Oh My God! Good looking! They are the best Ah Wu and Yan Zhao!!!
It's very beautiful. It's sweet so far. There's no cruelty. It's very friendly to my eyes and heart. Ah Wu is really the ideal heroine.
