I love historical danmei!! I only read HE, 1v1, both leads pure! I'm not a fan of obsessive-control dynamics!
Bittersweet Breakup and Reconciliation Stories
The protagonist pursues their love interest first, then gives up and lets the love interest pursue them instead. Four stars because I can't give it five. I'm always running out of things to read, so please recommend similar novels too (I'm desperate).
Personal List of Submissive-Male-Led Novels
I love universally adored bottoms, beautiful bottoms, cute bottoms, and bottoms of every kind. My unhinged bottom-lover side occasionally shows. I like good writing and smooth prose. I can't stand beautiful tops, obsessive tops, or tops who top every day.
A Few Fully Purchased
Still adding more (I recommend sorting by rating. I leave out three-star books, or there'd be too many.)
Beautiful Reads Worth Rereading
As the title says, this is basically a personal collection and memoir. My thing is couples who are equally strong.
Historical BL
Falling blossoms flow on, spring is gone. In heaven or on earth.
A Delicious Mixed Bag
Personally, these are delicious reads I'd rate 4–5 stars. A real hodgepodge of styles. P.S. I'm here for the couples, but if we're being strict, I lean toward bottoms. Proceed with caution.
A Fish Mint Lover’s Mealtime
Historical danmei only. The couple stays together, no breaking them up. Fictional characters are my little indulgence. No gong bottoms, switching, gong-to-shou reversals, breaking up canon couples, or extreme possessiveness: I’m trying to eat here, don’t ruin my meal
Finished Reading (Pure Romance)
Not part of any fandom, just read for fun. I’m open to all genres, but picky… I prioritize intriguing premises, though I’ll read anything with good writing. My ratings are fair. A bit thin-skinned ( )
A Personal Stash of Older Love Interests, Outside Teacher-Student and Master-Disciple Relationships
Sorting through my favorites, from the beginning to giving up. Also adding age-gap stories where the older character isn't a mentor or teacher.
Older Love Interests Are the Best
Fine, I admit older love interests are my thing. Romance or danmei, either works. The more pronounced the age gap, the tastier!
Drunk on Dreams of the World
Historical danmei about life at court, with lots of romance! I focus on the characters, worldbuilding, and pacing. I don't need much political intrigue, but I can't stand characters acting stupidly. Cat Claw has its own special charm~
Some Great Stories
to be continued…
Five-Star Pure Love Stories
Novels with excellent writing and plots that are worth rereading, all fully subscribed. I prefer historical and cultivation stories, with the occasional modern or Western fantasy novel. I don't like tragic stories. I'll update the list based on my reread experience.
What's Wrong with Loving Those Little Hands?
Protagonist characterization is my biggest deal-breaker, even more than side-character characterization. Five stars: beautifully written, protagonist-centered stories. Four stars: more balanced ensemble casts. Three stars: minor issues. Two stars: proceed with caution.
Emperor-Gong Worldbuilding
I really enjoy domineering, patriarchal seme characters (the opinions below are entirely subjective. If you disagree, don’t argue with me, and no spoilers in my comments).
Reborn: Scouring Jinjiang for Historical BL Recommendations
Just like the title says, a record of the historical danmei novels I’ve read.
Bottom-Centric Stories / No-CP Stories: Saved
Bottom-focused or bottom-leaning stories, with doting tops. Bottoms who are adored by everyone, sickly bottoms, or bottoms with strong career arcs. A few gen stories too.
More of What I Like, Vol. 2
The last list filled up, so I'm starting a new one.
A Sweet Little Treat
I prefer CPs where the bottom is more submissive. I love strong mutual attraction, and I prefer romance arcs without angst, especially when the top pursues the bottom. If the bottom pursues the top, the top still needs to return those feelings. Even if they don't fall in love, neither character should suffer too much.
Books Finished in 2026
Just making it through the main story is an achievement. 2026 deal-breaker keywords: studying abroad, Daddy.
Absolute Favorites
Books I absolutely adore.
Sweet, Satisfying, and Healing Reads
All have straightforward, mutual love, so seeing either person suffer would hurt. No angsty push-and-pull or flirty types. I prefer fresh and interesting worldbuilding.
The Writing Is Heavenly!!
This book list is judged according to my personal taste in writing quality. I’m a fairly omnivorous reader and will occasionally produce passionate reports. I hope we can all enjoy reading and recommending books together ^*

It took me two days to read it in one go. It's rare to see a new ancient novel that is so satisfying. I really like the plot and the characters. I want to give the author's wife a call. As soon as I finished reading, I couldn't help but want to write something, but I haven't written a long review for a long time, and I don't know how to write it now. I don't have a theme, so I just wrote wherever I thought. Please forgive me if it offends me. I came across this article when I was reading a recommendation for new articles. I almost missed it because of the title. Looking at the title, I couldn't believe that it was a very traditional ancient novel without any messy hot elements. Fortunately, I saw the recommendation so I didn't miss such a good article. This is It's really difficult to see ancient dramas with online logic, full plots, plots that can be elaborated, and characters that are suitable for taste in a few years. The market for traditional ancient dramas is extremely cold. I was moved to tears when I saw this article. It's such a high quality and the popularity is really heartbreaking. Sigh. Then let's talk about the plot Let me yell first, the new year is the best! The year's upside is really good! The gentle, considerate and powerful Nian Xianggong is the most attractive! The first two lives of the young Marquis were really miserable, and it was so heartbreaking. He was so sincere in his feelings, and he had no hesitation in giving emotionally, but the person who got this feeling never knew how to cherish it, and even let him meet a scumbag like Ji Huaisu, who not only used his feelings to achieve his own goals, but also made the other person afraid of him because of the existence of this feeling, which in turn hurt him. Yun Zhen's efforts in his first two lives were really not worth it. When Yunzhen's love in his first two lives was let down, and when he no longer dared to have more expectations for love in his third life, the emperor's appearance gradually healed the cracks in the first two relationships, repaired the wounds, and gave Yunzhen a sense of security, allowing him to dare to trust him again, to give without hesitation again, and to have passionate feelings. This kind of relationship really couldn't be more touching. "It seems like he fell down again and again, but he never changed his precious and pure heart of persistently searching for love." I was really about to cry when I saw this. The Emperor really fulfilled all my fantasies about Emperor Gong and Nian Shanggong. Gongsu fans want to scream every chapter he appears in (x) Even if Yun Zhen was only concerned about Yun Zhen as an older man in the early stage, he was very Su, and Yun Zhen was pinched to death haha. Later, it was funny to think that Yun Zhen was interested in me and then attacked him. The emperor adjusted his emotions very quickly, and he was indeed the most mature man in the book! The emperor did a lot for Yunzhen behind his back, but he showed a meager attitude in front of him. He always gently but powerfully held up a protective umbrella for Yunzhen, which really saved his legs. The escorts and gangsters were behind the scenes to protect Yun Zhen from being criticized. They were also investigating the case carefully to ensure that Yun Zhen's reputation was not damaged. They knew about his rebirth but pretended not to know it in front of him. They secretly protected Yun Zhen for the rest of his life. There can't be more details. And the young Marquis is not ignorant of the sacrifice behind this. Later, more or less, directly or indirectly, he can always accept the emperor's thoughts, and truly feel the thoughtfulness in it, and give the emperor equal rewards. This is truly rare and touching. For an emperor, it is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Many of Yun Zhen's actions are actually considered dangerous. He used escorts to train the army and let Yun Jiangning go. In everyone's eyes, it was a serious crime of rebellion. However, he did it. He believed that the emperor would understand, and the emperor never betrayed this trust. The deep trust between two people is also very touching. Then talk about the relationship between the first two lives They missed each other. Whether it was the time or the way, this relationship was wrong. Both of them were immature when they were together. Neither party had the ability to cope with the hardships. The beginning of this relationship was like a joke, but the development had no chance to mature, and it ushered in the tragic ending of the first life. Thinking about it, it is still a bit sad, hey. It's not that the two of them don't have feelings, it's just that their feelings are not mature enough to maintain in the face of reality. Looking back on the third life, Zhu Jiang took out wild eggs and how Yun Zhen felt when he said "Don't live so stupid forever". Zhu Jiang has no heart, and Yun Zhen is forced by reality to grow up too fast, so fast that the two of them never have a chance. It can only be said that the relationship in the first life was so missed. It can only be said that it is really inappropriate. Yunzhen needs a mature lover like the emperor. Yun Zhen's payment to Ji Huaisu could be regarded as wrong. I really don't want to bother writing about this scumbag anymore. Ji Huaisu is too scheming and serious. Yun Zhen is really falling into a pit of fire with no chance of winning against him. This relationship based on interests is really wrong. The last words of relief for the second life were when Ji Huaisu finally learned that the one he fell in love with was only the shadow of the emperor. It was really sour. Ji Huaisu thought that Yun Zhen's love for him was sincere and passionate, but it turned out to be such wishful thinking. It's a successful counterattack, so cool! In the final analysis, the core of these discussions is: the emperor is the best! The emperor is the most suitable! Nian Shanggong is the most mature and charming existence! That's it, thank the author for writing such a good article, beautiful love szd!
It's a good-looking, authentic old-fashioned dish that tastes old and new, and it's finally not the same old-fashioned way of dressing up in the present. Real ancient people fell in love!!! Very nice.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
