A Commoner's Warmth Beneath the Heavens

High-Quality Classical Fiction, No Transmigration or Rebirth

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

Political Intrigue and a Big-Picture Female Lead!!!

I want a female-led story with a grand scope. A male lead is fine, too. Please, I’ve run out of books to read. It needs to be well written!

Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs

A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.

Looking for High-Quality Domestic-Intrigue Novels Like The Story of Minglan. Any Recommendations?

Pure Ancient-Style Stories, No Transmigration or Rebirth

The Story of Xi Hua Zhi Is Great, Right? Do You Have Any Palace or Household Intrigue Novels That Top It?

Reborn, the heroine refuses to follow her parents’ orders and accept a marriage arranged by a matchmaker. She wants to live life on her own terms instead of wasting away in the harem as she did in her previous life.

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.

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.

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!!

Are There No More Books With Writing as Good as Yan Sanhe's?

I'm looking for books like *The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Hundred*. I've read all over the place, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction alike: palace intrigue, rebirth, cultivation, horror, comedy, CEO romances, detective stories, ghost hunting, the mortal and spirit realms, gods, golden fingers, you name it. I'm not into books that only obsess over romantic relationships. I love stories with a grand scope.

Any Beautifully Written Stories Like Cherish the Flowers and The Record of Hairpin?

I'm out of shows and books to read.

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No Golden Finger, Just a Classic Historical Romance With the Right Values

I want an ancient setting with palace intrigue and household drama. No one being reborn or transmigrating, and no System. I don't want an especially strong female or male lead. I like stories where the couple are evenly matched and the male lead is the crown prince. Both leads should be good-looking, intelligent, and have sound values!

Ancient Romance Novels. No Transmigration.

A romance between a sheltered young lady and a domineering prince.

🍅 Who’s the Ultimate Top-Tier Female Lead in Historical Romance?

Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth or Transmigration

I want sweet, doting romance, no angst. I'm very sensitive and can't handle tragic stories.

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

Looking for a Strong Female Lead Like Lü Songli: Clever, Strategic, and Always One Step Ahead

Looking for books similar to After the Arranged Marriage, the Cannon-Fodder Original Wife and the Young General Get a Happy Ending. The main plot should involve intelligent power struggles, or quietly developing and expanding one’s own forces. Either is fine. In short, keep the romance to a minimum, or preferably leave it out entirely. Please avoid Mary Sue characters and contrived melodrama.

I read Blossoms in Adversity and feel like no other historical novel could ever be better.
