I'm an indiscriminate shipper who sees romance everywhere. These are fully purchased historical BL stories I've recommended over the years. I love relationships between equals, and I judge stories by the prose, plot, and characters' brains. I'll flag a few things that might be dealbreakers; if nothing's noted, both leads are inexperienced.
Maybe You'd Enjoy Historical BL Too
Includes cultivation and fantasy elements. Long reviews don’t mean I’m especially invested in the book; I just happened to read and review it recently. The short reviews are for books I read a while ago, so I don’t remember the plots very well.
Personal Log of Mutual Pampering, Top-Leaning
My tastes are pretty broad. I like cute, beautiful, handsome, and charming male leads. Mutual affection is the baseline, and I mostly prefer stories told from the pursuer's perspective.
Five-Star Ancient-Era Danmei Worth Rereading
Wuxia, fantasy, and court politics.
Great Free Reads (Updated from Time to Time)
They're probably all decent. I haven't read some of them, either. They're free, so they all get five stars. This list is no help as a guide, so check the warnings before reading. My personal tastes are all over the place; I'll read anything.
Imperial Court and Nobility
I personally like historical BL with a bit more romance. I don't like submissive bottoms, harems, or idiotic political intrigue. The System wouldn't let me give these four stars five.
Historical Chinese Style!!!
Fantastic historical-style stories, mostly set in a purely ancient world, with transmigration.
BL Court Politics
The ruler-and-minister pairing
So Good I Had to Share
There’s cool gong and cute, sunny shou, aloof gong and beautiful shou...
Sumptuous Feasts
All original danmei. These are some of the books I’ve read that left a strong impression, though they aren’t necessarily flawless. This is just my personal opinion, so take it as you will.
A Mixed Bag of Things I Like
Stories I like with great writing and plot
The Picky Reader Is Here, Tremble…!
I can vouch for the plots and writing, but I'm a picky, eclectic reader who doesn't care about GK, SK, or CPJ. Characterization matters to me (at least one character has to win me over).
There's Something About Older Partners
Older top, master-disciple, older top, senior and junior fellow disciples, older and gentle tops, and even same-age characters with a strong older-top vibe. A roundup.
No Need to Be Picky, These Couples Are All Adorable
I'll read anything, but I lean toward older characters
Spring Radiance, Dawn Moon (Historical Arc)
My favorite historical novels
Historical BL and Romance
The romance of historical BL and historical romance.
Nitrogen-Fixing Plants
Historical BL I've read
Personal Picks: Historical Danmei
I’d say I’m more interested in the concept... writing style > prose > characterization > romance > plot
Looking for Something to Read
I work on this when I have time
Original BL, Completed
Mostly modern settings, with some historical ones too. Most cost money, with a few free reads. There's angst and comedy, but most lean toward serious drama. Except for one bad ending, they all have happy endings.
Historical Danmei Spotlight
I’m especially fond of ancient-setting danmei with political intrigue and a lighthearted tone. I have fairly high standards for the writing and plot.
Books I Recommend
Mainly saving books for myself, and recommending good ones along the way.
Worth a Reread
A chronic rereader who struggles to buy every volume, but still goes through some books two, three, four, or five times. (Very subjective.) (I read everything.)
Historical BL with an Authentic Classical Flavor
Still dual-strong couples who dote on each other, and proper historical-style stories. There are relatively few transmigration or reborn stories here. If any do show up, it's because I personally think they're very well-written and take their historical setting seriously.

Every time I rewatch this series, my ancient addiction is aroused! But I don't have much appetite for it, I hope I can continue writing TT
I only discovered such a beautiful article now I'm going to finish up all the articles in the same series as my wife. I haven't been short of writing lately [Star Eyes]
When alive, the king and his ministers were always the same. After death, the king and his ministers were buried together. If you think about it, it is really the highest state of the ministers in ancient times.
I read an article a long time ago, and it is the existence of Bai Yueguang in my heart. I recently thought of this article, took it out and read it, and I was very satisfied with it. In my mind, this article is not only an article about monarchs and ministers, but more like a gust of wind passing through the bamboo forest. The bamboos tremble slightly with the gust of wind, just like the feeling I felt when reading this article. The article does not have too much hatred for Hai Qingtian, but more of a helpless sigh. The two people in the article look at each other, and you and I gradually complete the story. Neither of them are perfect people, just like Xuanyuan and Mianzhi's analysis of themselves. The two people have shortcomings, entanglements, and helplessness, but they still support and move forward firmly. This is really a very touching story. After reading it many times, I still selfishly don't want the story to end. I can't help but wonder, what other story will the two of them have? Will there be a fight next? Will you quarrel? Will we still go for walks together at night? Will we still take a look at the peach blossoms together? I'm curious, but not worried, because these two people always give people a sense of solidity. I really hope that Xuanyuan and Mianzhi will continue to walk well. Thank you, madam, for writing such a sincere article. Madam, I love you.
It's been so many years. I really want to watch their extras. I also want to watch the ghost story. Woohoo, I love my Mr. Gu and his king so much.
Hahahahahahahahaha I got a headache from laughing. Da Zhou Lao Zhao was in trouble.
I liked it so much that I watched it for the second time. I can't describe the feeling... It's very real and real. Why is there always a slight feeling of worry in this book?
I read it again, I really like this article
Here we go again! [Milk Tea] Nice looking
It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful Junchen article that suits my taste [crying] [crying]
