Palace and Household Intrigue Stories

Historical romance is a genre I absolutely love. I read some of these as historical workplace stories, while others really make me ship the leads. I also don’t care whether the leads are virgins.

Yummy Completed Romance Novels

A place to save stories I finished and thought were worth reading or really liked. Most are transmigration stories, with some romance and a few no-couple stories… Just my personal taste.

Seasoned VIP: Low-Key Slice-of-Life Farming Stories

Ancient-to-modern transmigration or native characters, farming, business, humble everyday life, food, mostly romance, gentle and ordinary lives, no angst, melodramatic inner-court scheming, revenge, killing, or similar elements.

I Only Wanted a Fun Read, but It Blew Me Away

I'm an omnivore who loves melodramatic love triangles and groveling redemption arcs, and I'm also an overworked office drone. My mental state is a mess. I like stories with characters in the same boat. I read feel-good stories to stay alive, but these ones really impressed me. (Don't set your expectations too high. Ongoing stories get updated slowly.)

Past Gourmet Treats

They may not all suit my tastes now, but the older stories are classics for a reason. Keeping them here as memories, and slowly sorting through them.

Personal Collection, BG, Decent or Good Reads

An eccentric and old-fashioned taste, with melodramatic, feudal tropes. My likes and dislikes are unpredictable (enter with caution).

Female Leads of Every Kind

My All-Time Favorite Books

As long as the writing is good, the plot makes sense, and the female lead doesn't suffer for love, I can keep reading. This list is just for my own rereading convenience.

Stories That Never Quite Hit the Spot

Some books that are still readable. The low ratings are because of my own issues: I can rarely stick with a book to the end, hehe. But the ones that make the list are all delicious reads.

Historical Romance: Household Intrigue and Political Scheming, Not Just Wish Fulfillment

When I read historical romances, I don't like implausible declarations of mutual sexual purity, since they don't fit the historical setting. I prefer realistic writing and have high standards for plot. I don't read tedious, listless stories.
