    These three ancient romance novels are all incredibly good and worth rereading! The first one features a female lead whose character is absolutely adorable and captivating. The male lead is like a puppy to her, and the story gets super sweet later on. The second one has a female lead who transmigrates to ancient times, rising from concubine to favored consort. She falls in love with the empress, with minimal palace intrigue. Their children are intelligent, and the male lead dotes on them. The character descriptions are excellent. The third one features a female lead who doesn't fight for anything, just wanting to be a carefree person. Unexpectedly, she gets pregnant repeatedly, giving birth to four children, all of whom are intelligent. The male lead also adores both the children and the female lead.

    A relatively niche historical romance novel ❤️ I've read it countless times over the past seven or eight years. The female lead, Hehua, is married off as a second wife to save for her family's food supply, and she ends up marrying Changsheng, a simple-minded man from the village. Changsheng is so endearing; although he's simple-minded, he's self-sufficient and capable. The two have a baby after their marriage.
