My Cousin Has Ambitions

Qianshan Chake Writes So Well, I Can't Enjoy Any Other Historical Fiction

A few years ago, I read Shen Jiaojiao and Xie Jingxing's story. I just finished "The Grand Princess Bride" and got completely hooked. I don't feel like reading any other historical novels now. I'm also looking for historical novels with detailed palace intrigue and a deeply cunning heroine who takes revenge, like Shen Miao and Jiang Li.

Family Feud Stories Like The Story of Minglan

No Mary Sue characters or golden fingers. The female lead should be fairly intelligent. I only want family power-struggle stories, no palace intrigue.

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.

Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance: Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth, No Transmigration

Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...

Pure Historical Romance

I'm out of books to read.

High-Quality Classical Fiction, No Transmigration or Rebirth

I'm sick of the same old transmigration and rebirth plots.

Underrated Historical Romance with Excellent Writing: No Transmigration, No Cheats, No Brain-Dead Characters

I Want Pure Historical Romance!

I'm tired of transmigration and rebirth stories. I just want pure historical romance.

After Reading Bound by Spring, Nothing Else Measures Up. Please Recommend Timeless Classics

Looking for books like "Bound by Spring's Passion". I'm out of books to read, so please recommend classics that hold up well.

Looking for a Novel with a Gentle, Aloof, and Perceptive Female Lead

I Declare Lu Songli the Top Female Schemer in Tomato Fiction

Looking for books like After the Marriage Swap, the Cannon-Fodder Original Wife Gets a Happy Ending with the Young General. I love stories with a smart heroine who has both brains and tactics. It’s even rarer to find a capable second male lead who isn’t made stupid or forced into the plot. In the end, the person who understands you best is your enemy.

Pure Historical Romance: A Cultured, Well-Bred Female Lead

No transmigration, no being reborn, and no overly carefree protagonists.

A Legitimate Daughter Raised by a Prestigious Local Clan: Household Intrigue, With a Smart Female Lead

The leads are childhood sweethearts. They're courteous and respectful to each other early in their marriage, then fall in love later on.

I Loved Blossoms in Adversity, and Now Nothing Else Measures Up. What Do I Do?

Pure Historical Romance: No Being Reborn, No Transmigration, No Farming, and No System

I only like sweet romance. Please don't recommend anything that isn't this kind of story. I'm a bit picky.

Stories Where the Heroine Single-Handedly Holds Her Fallen Family Together

Something like The Story of Hua Zhi.

Any Books as Good as Cherish the Peony and Best Words?

I've read so many books, but these two are still my favorites. I recommend them, too. I'm out of books to read now, so fellow bookworms, please recommend some!

Looking for an Ancient-Era Romance with a Female Lead Who Seems Like a Proper Lady but Is Secretly Formidable

I Just Finished Qianshan Chake's Historical Romance, and Now I'm Out of Books to Read
