1. 601 宫 Palace Murder 宫杀 Cao Qian Qian草芊芊Ancient Romance338k WordsCompleted The realm and the beloved, the constraints of imperial power and the freedom of love: they have never been easy to reconcile. The palace walls and secluded courtyards were never where I belonged. They were filled with treasures and every luxury imaginable, yet had no love, no family affection, and no friendship. Behind the splendor and imperial favor lay the loss of humanity under imperial power. Behind that supreme authority lay the wanton trampling of love. 38Reads8.7Score—Shelves

   Having read countless novels, this is the first time I've recommended one. It took me ages to find the entry point! It's a fantastic book; I don't know why it has a low rating. Perhaps it's because it's very angsty and made me feel quite depressed? But the writing is excellent; every character is vividly portrayed, and the love is often unrequited. The word "kill" in the title is truly brilliant. Patient readers should definitely check it out.
