Guide to the BG Yandere in Ancient Sayings About Dog Blood
A stubborn heroine and a brooding, gloomy hero. I can't stand men who aren't masculine. The more the hero suffers, the happier I am. I only accept emotional angst for the heroine, no physical abuse.

Recent Reads I've Enjoyed
Mostly BG, with a tiny handful of BL, which I almost never read. There's also girl-focused content, strong heroines, and all sorts of other things. I'm not picky.

Four-and-a-Half-Star Books That Couldn’t Quite Make Five ①
Great books that I couldn't give five stars to. When will they raise the limit on reading lists?!
Historical Romance
Really good.
Some Brother-Sister Stories (Purely Platonic)
I searched for brother-and-sister romances, and the first result was a BL list. I can’t take it anymore, so I’m making a pure romance list for stories I’ve read about non-blood-related adoptive siblings, pseudo-siblings, older men, and childhood sweethearts.

I used to read very few historical romances, so I have fewer than 100 on this list.
Interesting Books Worth Checking Out
All kinds of genres. Four stars and up means good. My basic requirements are an interesting story, smooth writing, and no glaring plot holes. I don't like overly cloying romance.

Good, good.

Historical BG Romance with Emotional Push and Pull
I really like it when the woman leads the man around by the nose? Basically, I love watching them dance around each other.

Mary Sue stories / pseudo-harem / sugary sweet
Romance Novels I’ve Fully Purchased Over the Years
In short, they're all really good.
Palace Intrigue, Household Intrigue, Qing-Dynasty Transmigration, Rebirth and Transmigration
Like a historical-era palace harem promotion story. I read tons of these when I first got into historical romance! Stories with kind but strong female leads or tops who do whatever it takes to advance their own interests, and stories where the protagonist wins without lifting a finger.
Just Ooh Ooh Ooh
Just threw this together

This article gave me a depressing feeling: the loneliness of the male protagonist, the indecisiveness of the female protagonist, the coercion of the second male lead, and the attitude of men towards women in feudal society. I felt very sad after reading it. Even though it was he, I still felt very sad.
I really like Lu Jiaxue... I feel so sad. It would be great if there were no misunderstandings in this life.
Alas, although it is difficult to talk about equality in Gu Yan's situation, Luo Shenyuan's love for Yi Ning is obviously dominated by possessiveness. It feels like the two of them have no good communication. They don't talk about anything, have no sense of trust, and are always suspicious of each other. They only reveal their feelings when things are discovered. Lu Jiaxue appears in many more roles later than Luo Shenyuan, and the story line is thicker, which made me feel a little off-center. Yining sometimes doesn't get angry when she should be angry, and can't think clearly when she should clear things up. Apart from these, the overall story is still very interesting. The plot is connected link by link and does not drag on. I like it.
After watching it, I can only say that fate plays tricks on people. Maybe the male and female protagonists will not have any bad feelings, but the second male lead is too miserable. After all, it is pure love! ! ! !
No, sir, you agreed to the changes in this TV series version. The changes are too scary. I read this novel before and saw that there was a TV series version. I was looking forward to it. But in the end, I just changed the plot. It works. After all, many novels are adapted into TV series like this, but there are fundamental contradictions in it? Why did the male lead and the female lead fall in love with this? I was confused when I watched it. I felt that this episode was over, and suddenly I fell in love with the next episode. I felt like one episode was missing. The second male lead had no sense of presence. I felt that there was a villain where he was needed. He would come out for a while, but he would be useless if he was not needed. Although there were some inconsistencies in the beginning, I could keep watching. After that, I really felt like the plot was so fast again that I couldn't watch it anymore! Destroy my novel, woo woo
Am I the only one who likes Cheng Lang? The taste is too niche
I like Lu Jiaxue! ! !
It's okay at the beginning, but the plot later becomes a bit unbelievable.
After reading this, I still like Lu Jiaxue
Lu Jiaxue in the original book is much better than the one in the TV series, and it's really hard to calm down.
