The Eastern Palace’s Caged Sparrow: Changning’s Mistake

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.

Only New Books: Works by Newbie Authors

Writing as a newcomer isn't easy. Please recommend other newcomers to me. I'll read their stories carefully and leave comments. I respect every newcomer who puts in the effort, because I'm a newcomer too. Let's help each other out!

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!

Looking for the Best of Historical Romance, the Kind You Can Read Over and Over

Male leads similar to those in *A Fine Brocade of Good Days* and *The Phoenix’s Grace Knows No Bounds*.

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.

What's Your Number-One Pick? It Has to Be an Ancient Romance

Heartbreaking Stories That’ll Make Your Heart Ache

If I go a day without reading an angsty story, I feel completely out of sorts.

Sophisticated Angst with Smart Characters and a Logical Plot

Looking for books similar to Palace Wall Willow. It doesn’t have to be the kind where the male and female leads must fight to the death, with one of them inevitably dying. There can be national hatred and family feuds separating them, or a divide between righteousness and evil. The story should be logical and reflect the thinking of normal people.

Looking for Historical Court-Intrigue Novels With Brilliant Schemes and Elegant Prose

Looking for books like *She Wants to Take It Easy, but They Keep Forcing Her to Rebel (Ascending to the Golden Palace).*

Pure Angst, With the Male Lead Tormenting the Female Lead!!!!!!

I want angst from beginning to end, not the kind where the leads love each other but still can't be together in the end. I want the male lead to love someone else and the female lead to suffer through pure heartbreak.

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).

Please Recommend Stories Full of Angst. The More Heartbreak, the Better!

In a Reading Slump. Any New Books Out Lately?

Please release some new books, dear authors! Why aren’t you putting out anything new? Recommendations, please!

New Books Only! The More Underrated, the Better!

Any new book will do. I’m open to anything, especially books that haven’t gotten much attention. It’s hard being a new author, so let’s not leave them writing to an empty room, okay?

Extremely Angsty, the Kind That Breaks Your Heart and Brings You to Tears

Heartbreakingly angsty, like *A Love That Eats Away at Your Bones*.

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

Has Everyone Noticed That Tomato Has Added So Many New Books? The Quality Is Really OK 👀
