Looking for New Tomato Novels That Aren’t Popular, Ideally Ones Almost Nobody Can Find
High-Quality Stories With Exceptional Writing
Any gender is fine, as long as the writing is good.
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).
Supernatural! Supernatural! Supernatural! A Long Story With an Incredible Setting!
Really Great Historical Romance!
Hey, cuties, do you know any really good historical romance novels with beautiful writing? I'm in a reading slump lately. Thanks for the recommendations, sweeties! OvO Sending love.
Please Recommend Brain-Twisting Mysteries with Clear Logic and Smart Protagonists
Looking for an Ancient-Style Story with a Female Lead Who Hunts Demons and Ghosts, Not a Modern Setting
Books with Lyrical Prose and a Rich Foundation in Poetry
Beautiful writing that captivates you at a glance is fine, as is something you can savor slowly and chew through piece by piece. I just haven’t found anything like that yet.
Any Good Historical Romance Novels to Recommend?
Highly rated and enjoyable.
Looking for Ancient Detective Novels, Without a Bunch of Women Competing or Domestic Infighting
I want a novel about solving cases in ancient times. Not one that keeps throwing in a pile of household infighting and rivalry between women. No CP is fine, and I don't want the overall atmosphere to be too heavy either.
Mystery!! The Kind Where They Solve Cases!!
Anything With a Tightly Plotted, Gripping Story Like Yan San He and Xie San Ye?
Looking for books similar to "The Xie Family’s Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Ripe Old Age".
I'm a Thousand Mountains Tea Guest Fan. Begging for Top-Tier Historical Romance
I wonder what books people who enjoy Qianshan Chake’s novels like to read. I’m out of books...
Looking for Mystery and Detective Stories, Romance During Investigations Is Fine Too. Thanks, Everyone!
Looking for a suspense novel with a bit of romance, though romance isn't a must.
Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System
I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.

What are the best historical romance novels you've ever read? (ﾟoﾟ;
Mystery Investigations and Romance
An enjoyable novel that solves cases while developing a romance.
Pure Historical Mystery, Deduction, and Case-Solving
Looking for books similar to "The Golden Hairpin" (complete in 4 volumes). I want a high-quality pure historical mystery and detective novel, with a strong male lead and a strong female lead, no melodrama, clear logic, and well-rounded characters. No transmigration or rebirth!
Crime-Solving, Mystery, and Romance
The male lead works for the state, and the female lead has been reborn, but they had little to do with each other in their previous lives.
Any Novels That Combine Mystery and Romance?
Both the male and female leads should be smart and competent.
Any Romance Novels Disguised as Horror and the Supernatural?
Historical Romance with a Touch of Angst, Bittersweet Romance, and a Happy Ending
Looking for books like "The Reborn Chief Minister's White Moonlight".
Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.

I actually quite like the character Liang Yu. Initially, she only took on the role of the Chief Justice, accepting the wishes of the deceased, to uncover the truth behind her own death and to gain more power from the Soul-Gathering Stones. However, in the process, she unknowingly helped many people…
To put it simply, the storyline is as follows: The female protagonist's entire family was murdered in a conspiracy. After death, her intense resentment turned her into a vengeful ghost, and she was later appointed as the chief judge of the underworld. Using this identity, she investigates cases in the mortal world while also pursuing the truth behind her family's massacre.
Excellent writing and a fresh theme. The female protagonist died unjustly, becoming a vengeful ghost and working as a judicial officer to receive the wishes of the dead… She uses the power of a soul-condensing stone to travel the mortal realm and investigate cases, all for the sake of one day uncovering the truth behind the bloodshed.
The writing is truly excellent, with vivid scene descriptions that quickly draw the reader in, whether it's the eerie atmosphere of tomb raiding in Qishan or the bizarre sights of the Underworld's Criminal Investigation Department. Furthermore, the plot flows smoothly, with the foreshadowing of Madam Lin's drowning gradually unfolding and each mystery providing a reasonable explanation. It's not a mindless, feel-good story; the more you read, the more addictive it becomes.
I absolutely love the male and female leads' characters! It's rare to find such a good book, but! It's not finished yet 😢 After reading the latest chapter, I realized it was updated 10 days ago. The updates are so slow! I hope the author won't abandon the story 😢 Ah, there's been a hiatus 😢 Author, please come back soon!
This novel is perfect for savoring. You can feel the author's dedication in creating this story. The narrative unfolds smoothly, and the cases are cleverly designed. The characters are well-developed and vivid, and the scene descriptions are realistic and lively. It feels like watching a TV series. It's a shame there aren't many ratings. I hope more people will see it, and I hope the author continues to create! Five stars! ❤️
As a suspense enthusiast, I'm very satisfied! The logic is very clear, starting with the tomb raiding case leading to the suspicious cause of Madam Lin's death, and then the intertwining of clues from both the living and the dead—every step is well-developed and holds up to scrutiny. The writing is delicate and concise, the characters' dialogue is believable, there are no unnecessary melodramatic plots, and the focus on the investigation is combined with entertainment. I will continue reading.
The plot is logically sound, and it's quite enjoyable.
The writing is incredibly delicate and engaging; the relationship between the two characters develops gradually over time.
The subject matter is novel and the writing is excellent. I've already added it to my bookshelf and am eagerly awaiting updates.
