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.
Palace Intrigue
A collection of palace-intrigue stories told from the heroine's perspective. I'll also add quick transmigration worlds with similar plots. I prefer palace intrigue that takes itself somewhat seriously, so I don't read brainless, doting-on-one-person stories.
Some Palace Intrigue Stories
Some palace-intrigue novels I've finished. More precisely, stories where the male lead is an emperor, either from the beginning or later on.
Historical Romance and Palace Intrigue
Mostly palace-intrigue stories that I thought were pretty good after finishing them, though a few were just okay. (Saving these for reference. Reviews were written when moving books between shelves, and the ratings are still somewhat useful.)
Romance Novels I've Read Since Joining Jinjiang [I Like a Bit of Everything]
I'd starve if I weren't an omnivore.
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.
Palace Intrigue: Clear-Headed, Clever Heroines
The female lead has a mind of her own. The male lead has to fall first, though the female lead can take her time. I'm in a reading slump... Besides the new story The Stars in the House, are there any good palace-intrigue novels?

Not for me, politely declined.

Palace Intrigue with an Ambitious, Savvy Heroine
All have male leads who aren't virgins and don't dote exclusively on the female lead, who has a scheming side

Some Historical Romance and Palace Intrigue I've Read
The male leads are basically emperors, crown princes, chancellors, and the like. In short, this is exactly my thing.

Congratulations on the completion! In fact, it can be seen that most of the author's ancient sayings have some similarities, but they are really good and beautiful! It's really hard to find good ancient Chinese novels. I hope the author can continue to write ancient Chinese novels when he gets older. There aren't many good-looking harem novels that are good and not vulgar. I hope the new ones are sweeter. Just let the male and female protagonists fall in love without procrastination.
The story is okay, but the writing is not. The author has time to revise the text. There are many typos in wrong sentences.
Finished reading! Great writing!
Finished! It's very nice. Just a little suggestion. The appearance rate of so-and-so is too high. Sometimes there can be 4 so-and-so on one page.
Finished with flowers, finished with flowers~
Very nice! I like Gong Dou Chong's novel very much. The author's writing style is great!
"Shi" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
"Cross" is a big bug for the author~
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations! The love is forever! !
Looking forward to new articles, keep following
