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 read about 140 chapters so far, so I'd give it four stars overall. The following are some highlights: ① The entire team is female, including the granddaughter, and all the helpers are also women. The business has both male and female customers, with a relatively balanced male-to-female ratio of diners. It's not particularly appealing, but I'd give it a thumbs up.
Please look, please look, please look!! It's absolutely amazing!! Every food item in each chapter is meticulously researched! It perfectly captures the essence of the Song Dynasty; you can practically picture the scenes just by reading the text! It's so full of life and everyday moments!! 😘
Currently at 60 chapters 5 stars. What I liked most was the scientific explanations at the end of each chapter; the cultural depth was impressive. The descriptions of food were also very interesting. 4 Stars. It feels like the author couldn't treat the two female leads equally.
This book is one of the better ones I've read on Taobao. The word choice and sentence structure are very rigorous, and many of the food descriptions are annotated, showing that the author consulted other literature. The food descriptions are vivid and have a strong classical feel. The main characters' family work hard and steadily to build their business.
A fantastic food novel! I started reading this one after reading the author's previous food novel set in the Western Han Dynasty. The author's writing is consistently stable and meticulous (•̀ᴗ•́)و You can totally read it with confidence 😌 The overall story is about three generations of women—a mother-in-law, two main characters who are more like daughters than biological daughters, and their…
The current rating is too low; it should actually be 8.5-9.0. The writing is delicate and smooth, though somewhat fragmented, it's not verbose or rambling. It observes life in the Song Dynasty through small details, capturing the rich atmosphere of everyday life and overflowing with human warmth.
The pacing is excellent, and the plot doesn't drag. The author handles this very well, making it a smooth read. The only issue is that the author seems to have no concept of copper coins; they can easily lift hundreds of strings of cash – wow, that's some serious strength!
It's a very good read. The story is about three women—a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law—who make a living in Bianjing (Kaifeng) by cooking delicious food. The author's writing is excellent, the story is very engaging, and the depiction of the customs and culture of the Song Dynasty is quite realistic. Each chapter includes annotations for new terms.
I love this book! I really like the author's writing style. The plot doesn't drag, and the villains are quickly defeated by the protagonist and supporting characters working together. There are no scheming or backstabbing plots, and it's not like playing a game where you constantly change "bases." There's also no involvement with royalty or nobles.
Scan the text and read up to chapter 61. It's a good watch, with a down-to-earth and heartwarming feel. I just didn't really like Changfu's love story, even if it was unrequited love; I was worried it would affect the neighborly relationship between their two families.
