After Becoming the Female Supporting Character, I Tried My Best to Court Death

Historical

Ancient settings, Eastern fantasy, transmigrate into a book, reborn

Historical Romance

For historical romance, just rise to greatness! All kinds of things, mostly little sweet treats, I suppose~

Reading Log (Female Protagonist's Perspective)

Read these before, though it was a while ago

Other: All Purchased, Some Read More Than Once

Cultivation, historical romance, contemporary romance, danmei, imperial examinations, childbirth, rebirth, cross-dressing as a woman, and so on. It's too eclectic to make separate lists for each genre, so I'm putting them all in one.

***'S Top Picks

*** handpicked. If it's not good, it's not going on here. Only romance stories I've read and genuinely loved~

Cute Young Love

BG romance / boys and girls / young couples / realism / two adorably clueless people falling in love

The Romance Is Great to Ship, BG Only

My ratings are highly subjective, based purely on how I felt after finishing each book and how memorable it was.

Ancient-Era Romance Roundup

I have a soft spot for older love interests. No major dealbreakers.

BG Novels I've Finished

All kinds of tastes, mostly with chaste male leads. I don’t mind either way about the female lead. Ongoing list...

BG Romance I Love

Stories I love for their great writing and fresh ideas

Springtime for a Withered Tree

My personal tastes

Recommendations 3

Romance

Stories I’d Read Twice (Full Purchase) - 2

Jinjiang seems to limit each reading list to 100 books, and I couldn't add any more to my old one, so I'm making another, haha. I only read romance, and most of these have fantastical elements.

Mostly BG Novels With Virginal Male Leads

A little something from both sides of the afterlife: sweet little romances, as well as angsty melodrama, bitter feuds, and exes chasing their lovers after it’s too late.

Great Reads to Check Out

I read everything

Personal Use: Feng

Selected Ancient Romance with Ratings Above 9

Includes romance and danmei, with shou, gong, and female-lead POVs. All have over 10,000 favorites. The danmei stories have no pregnancy plot. Some works rated in the eights are, in my opinion, worth a nine.

2025 Historical Romance

Historical romances I've read in 2025. Only recommending ones I've finished and enjoyed!

Someone Else's Feast

It’s like visiting someone else’s home: the food is delicious, but you can’t go all the time. Same goes for these novels: they’re all quite good, but once I’ve finished, I’m satisfied and don’t feel like rereading them.

Delicious Little Treats

A good read, and you don't have to think too hard.

Mary Sues, Strong Women, Soap-Opera Drama, and Wish Fulfillment

BG fan, eclectic tastes and few dealbreakers. I especially love ordinary-looking heroines who are irresistible to everyone, Mary Sue types, and unconventional heroines who are big-dog, mad-dog, fun-loving, rogueish, mouse-like, or combative.

Book Collection 2

Most of these are worth reading
