The Fiery Second Madam Shen

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).

I'm a Veteran Reader Looking for Smart Characters, Solid Logic, and Mature Writing 🙏

I'm getting more and more fed up with brainless stories that make no sense. Give us characters with some brains! I'll read any genre as long as it makes sense. 🙏

Looking for Relaxing, Cozy Novels with an Easygoing Daily-Life Feel That Stay Enjoyable

Looking for a Good, Low-Key Historical Romance

An empress or a legitimate-born daughter is fine. Anything goes as long as it's not a farming novel!

Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance with Excellent Writing

I hope the writing is serious. I’ve been reading web novels for six years, so please, everyone, recommend stories set in the imperial harem, with all its intrigue and schemes!

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!

Historical Romance: A Young Married Couple with Lively Personalities

Looking for books similar to "What on Earth Is Going On? (Complete in Two Volumes)". Something like the relationship between Fifth Daughter Wu and Yang Xian in "Five Blessings at the Door", preferably pure romance.

Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core

No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.

Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth

Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏

Completed Stories About a Peaceful, Happy Everyday Life

The female lead spent her past life rushing around, busy every single day. After she transmigrates to ancient times or another era, all she does is farm, raise children, and handle the daily necessities. She lives a simple, peaceful 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.

Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space

It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!

A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman

I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.

I Want Pure Historical Romance!

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

Looking for Tragic Ancient-Era Romance!!! The Kind That Makes You Cry at Night!!!

Looking for Good Classical Chinese Romance Novels Set Among Aristocratic Families, with Household Intrigue and No Idiotic Characters

Looking for a purely historical romance. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious. The female lead is his wise, dignified legal wife. I want a domestic-strife story about the two of them managing the family together.

Any Historical Romance Where the Heroine's Sisters Don't Scheme Against Each Other and All Put the Family's Interests First?
