Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance: Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth, No Transmigration
Friends, I'm looking for a purely historical romance. I've had nothing to read for ages. Please save me...
A Cool, Powerful Female Lead in an Ancient-Style Setting, Ruthless and Decisive, Controlling Everything
A powerful female lead whose intelligence and combat ability are both off the charts. She is skilled at keeping control of the entire situation, dominant, set in an ancient-style world, and of noble status. Anyone foolish enough to provoke her will end up wishing they were dead.

Book-loving friends, please help me out. 🙏🏻
Looking for a Novel with a Gentle, Aloof, and Perceptive Female Lead
Proper Historical Fiction, No Transmigrate, No Reborn, No Romance Drama
I'm looking for a proper historical novel. No being reborn, no transmigrating, and no romance-obsessed drama. There are more and more novels about transmigration, being reborn, and romance-obsessed characters, and I'm sick of them. I'm getting more and more disappointed.
Pure Ancient-Style Stories, No Transmigration or Rebirth
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).
Looking for Books Where I Can Really Feel How Much the Male Lead Loves the Female Lead
Looking for books similar to When Day Breaks, You'll Come Home. I don't mean stories that use all kinds of flowery descriptions to tell you how deeply the protagonist loves the female lead.
Any Grand-scale Historical Political Intrigue Novels?
The male and female leads should be smart, not foolish and naive.
Historical Romance
Looking for historical novels. No transmigration or rebirth, just a story set in ancient times. I want an engaging plot, distinctive characters, and no ridiculous melodrama.
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.
Political Intrigue, Historical Setting
Are there any grand-scale political intrigue novels like "Scheming for Love" and "The Prosperous Age's Strategist", with court politics and a turbulent martial world, but no domestic infighting?
Any Good Historical Romance Novels to Recommend?
Highly rated and enjoyable.
Historical Romance with a Brave, Badass Female General
The female lead should be a bold, dashing woman general with strict military discipline, not a woman disguised as a man.
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.
Historical Stories Where She Marries the Male Lead From the Start, Extra Sweet
The sweeter the better, and I want the story to move fast.
A Female Lead So Strong It Breaks Your Heart, Who Never Cries Out When She’s Hurt. Please!
Preferably Historical Romance with Political Intrigue and Two Strong Leads, Modern Romance Is Fine Too
Both leads should put their own interests first. Ideally, their factions start out somewhat hostile, and they're both rather cold-hearted. The female lead should be one person in public and another in private, with a ruthless streak and plenty of different sides to her. I want a romance between evenly matched rivals who refuse to back down and keep flirting with each other. 😃😍
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 🙏🙏
Wuxia, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu. Get It?
Martial arts and the jianghu.
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.

Only then did I realize that I hadn't rated myself. It's been almost two months since I finished this book. After settling for a while, the feeling will become more real. This is my first book on Tomato. I cried several times while writing it. Some friends said that I am more suitable for writing about emotions. I don't know what the readers think. I felt sad for half the night when I was separated from Pei Yao, and felt sad for half the night when I was separated from Gu Qi. It is a pity that Gao Chong is not reflected in this book. I will write about it in the second book. The book has many flaws, so giving it a five-point rating is a tribute to my own emotional creation. The heroine Shen Qiao has given me a lot of strength. I have encountered some obstacles recently. When I feel stressed, I think of Shen Qiao and I get over it as soon as I work hard. This book makes me feel like I have nourished myself all over again. I am very lucky to have her.
This ancient novel has great stamina. The heroine is a decisive female general, and her love-hate relationship with the king is heartbreaking. The foreshadowing of the story is exquisite, the obsession with three generations is written in a touching and sad way, and the plot is extravagant. After reading it, I felt so confused that I couldn't relax for a long time.
"I haven't seen such a poignant ancient saying in a long time! The author's writing style is really amazing. There is a sense of soreness and pain between the lines, which made my heart feel tight. The pull and misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists, every dialogue is like a knife, especially the... The phrase "you will always remember my kindness" hit me directly! The plot is not draggy, and the foreshadowing is very solid. The more you taste, the more interesting it is. It is so top notch!
This book is really well written, and the more you read it, the more it makes readers sigh. In particular, the character image created is very distinctive: the hero does not show off his eyebrows. The novel is cleverly conceived, logically clear, and has foreshadowing that echoes back and forth. It is evocative to read and you will be deeply involved in it as soon as you read it. The characters in the novel are vividly depicted, and they all have a higher level of consciousness. They often put themselves in others' shoes and consider each other. When one party expressed his apology, the other party said lightly: "This is good, so you will always remember my kindness!" It shows that he is open-minded and does not care about the other party's actions. The author's literary level is very high, the description is exquisite and wonderful, and he received five-star praise! The language of the novel is smooth and easy to understand, and the plot of the novel is compact and not procrastinating. It is fascinating to read and worth reading!
The heroine, Shen Qiao, is a woman who does not give in to men, but defends a city with her life. Be single-minded in your feelings and use your name to trap a person. I particularly like the feeling of this book, with delicate emotions and full of ancient flavor. The author who could write this book must also be an excellent woman!
The slow-burning and delicate narrative outlines a sadistic and long-lasting love affair in a troubled world. As a female general on a bloody frontier, the heroine is as proud as a plum blossom. She is lonely but refuses to bow to the world. The strong female character is vivid and vivid. The story spans Shengjing and Ningcheng, where orphans, deserted cities, and three obsessions are intertwined. The bonds between the king, the business owner, and the female general are strained, and every word hides the involuntary regret.
The atmosphere in the book is outstanding, the writing is delicate and pathos, and the lines are filled with sourness and pain. I often feel stuffy in my heart when I read it. The love-hate relationship between the male and female protagonists, and the layer upon layer of misunderstandings, there is no deliberately bloody plot, just a few dialogues are as sharp as a knife, and all the regrets of the two people can't help but be cut open. The sentence in the book, "You will always remember my goodness," contains a few words of forbearance and affection, hiding unwillingness, fulfillment and helplessness, and touches the soft spots in the hearts of countless readers.
The writing style is cool and poetic, and the artistic conception is far-reaching. The heroine guards the isolated city proudly, and is deeply involved in political disputes, with obsessions deep in her heart. The wind and snow cannot hide the sincere affection, the ups and downs of half a life are full of deep feelings, the sadomasochistic love is touching, the pattern is gentle and majestic, and every word hides all kinds of emotions, making it interesting to read carefully. I must watch it every day. It suits my taste so much that I can't sleep without watching it.
. An ancient style with a full sense of atmosphere! The story begins with the rough life experience of the orphan heroine. The author's writing style is smooth and the wording is elegant in ancient style. The rhythm of the plot is controlled comfortably, the emotions of the characters are delicately portrayed, the overall story has an excellent feel, the atmosphere and sense of fate are very eye-catching, and the characters are vivid. Worth a look. Keep watching, it's wonderful ❤️
The most poignant thing in the book is the strong sense of contrast. Shen Qiao, who used to be cheerful, bright and resilient, now looks like she is lying on a bed in a coma with little vitality: her face is pale and bloodless, her breathing is almost inaudible, and only the weak pulse in her wrist proves that she is still alive. Gu Qi carefully held her intact wrist, feeling the fragile and beating parts of the story. The words were light but powerful. There are no heart-wrenching cries, but a quiet and silent stay together. Instead, the despair and reluctance are written to the extreme, and the sense of brokenness that the winter plum blossoms are about to die out comes to your face.
