Classical Chinese Romance!!!! Your Number One Pick! Send It My Way!

I love historical novels, I love historical novels! The female lead can be a little flawed, but the male lead absolutely must not be annoying! I want something that keeps me interested enough to read on.

The Hero Is Older Than the Heroine, and His Long-Dormant Heart Is Finally Stirring

I want books like When the Old House Catches Fire: The Grand Tutor’s Sweet and Lovely Little Wife. A very good historical romance with a marriage-first, love-later plot and a devoted couple.

Palace Intrigue with Open, Unabashed Favoritism and Exclusive Devotion

Looking for books similar to The Beautiful and Soft Lady-in-Waiting Is Spoiled Endlessly by the Cold-Blooded Crown Prince. Palace intrigue or entertainment-world crossovers are both fine. I want open, obvious affection, not a heroine who's a target in plain sight. From the start, she should be the favored one, preferably the only one he favors. Ideally, once he has or falls in love with the heroine, they should both be sexually inexperienced.

The Heroine Isn’t the Legal Wife, but the Hero Spoils Her Rotten

Looking for books similar to The Delicate Noble Consort Has Her Ways (also known as: The Wise Don't Fall in Love, and the Noble Consort Won't Take Responsibility). The male lead should dote on and protect the heroine, but she shouldn't be a naive, airheaded sweetheart.

Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂

I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.

I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!

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.
