My tastes are all over the place, including but not limited to harem appeal, spoiled elites, taking someone by force, multiple suitors, nonhumans, and so on.
Women-Friendly Reads
The heroine doesn't get put through the wringer (I think). Very subjective. (Points for putting the men through the wringer or for well-written female characters.)

Stories I've Read
A pretty eclectic mix, including both fan fiction and original works. Mostly BG, with a small amount of BL and no-CP stories.
Content Warnings (Personal Taste)
Popular novels I sampled and marked, but that turned out to be boring or have content warnings.

Stress Relief and Maintenance
I take off a star for any obvious romance with men. Since I can't give four or five stars anymore, I've started adding content warnings. Please tell them apart.
Thirty Years of Focusing on the Wife-Chasing Crematorium Trope
I read groveling-and-redemption stories only for the men to suffer. I don't like it when the women are put through too much, and I don't like stories where the men don't suffer. The women can have it bad, but the men have to have it worse. Not purely recommendations, these are ones I've read and marked for myself.
Delicious Historical, Contemporary, and Everything in Between
This list is a bit eclectic and is mainly for collecting romance novels I enjoy. The female and male leads all have very varied personalities. The one constant is that the men are faithful and chaste (starry-eyed)

Male-Tormenting Stories
All the male leads are virgins. I can’t promise the female leads won’t suffer, but there’s definitely more angst for the men. Read at your own risk if you have strong dislikes or squicks.

From the very beginning when she competed with the prince under the guidance of her mother, Sangmei was destined not to be a vassal of others. Later, a series of experiences made her understand that power can only be controlled by others if it is in her own hands. The first escape to survive in the wilderness was undoubtedly a turning point, and it also allowed me to see the heroine's desire to survive and vitality. The ending is actually not unexpected. She planned to fake her death in order to point her sword at the East Palace. Winning the world was her pursuit, and her relationship with Xi Kuang was accidental. It's just that most of the stories now are closer to the first half of Xi Mei's dream of going to get married. However, the actual situation is that if the heroine did not continue to cultivate power, never fall behind Xi Kuang or even surpass him in the end, then the ending of that dream may be hers. If the heroine was really pregnant at the time and was unprepared, she might also have suffered a hemorrhage. "Don't you love a vicious woman like me?" In a sense, the male and female protagonists are indeed well matched. I rarely read books with a large proportion of emotional drama, but this book and the previous "Emperor of the Imperial Palace" written by the author gave me a good reading experience. It should be because the female protagonist is well-shaped. Falling in love with the male protagonist is their experience, not their life, and it does not mean that they have to retreat from others, but still choose to fight.
After reading it, I now understand what most readers of JJ are like. This article is really good-looking. The author's plot and emotional lines are very good. I felt that the whole article was very smooth and there were no obvious bugs. The heroine is also very resourceful. Looking at the whole story, the biggest advantage of the heroine may be that the male protagonist has a brain for love. However, Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne was indispensable for Li Zhi's political support. This kind of thing that has a prototype in history does not feel like a cheat. The heroine is also very well established. She is a complete careerist and a power seeker. She can also love people. It can be seen that the heroine does love the hero, but love accounts for a very small proportion in her life. I really don't understand that I only have such a small collection of articles (?). I used to think that some of the Golden List articles were very wise, but now I find that readers really like them. I am waiting for my wife's new articles later!
2023.05.24 After procrastinating for a long time, I finally finished reading this article. From being crazy, it gradually became like a lump in my throat, and then I regained my favor with the ending chapters. Overall, it's a bit regretful. The main regret is that after the heroine escaped in the middle, I was looking forward to seeing the heroine's resourcefulness. When my wife said that there would be no heroine raising troops and fighting against the hero, I was even more looking forward to the next part. But I didn't expect that the final solution was for the heroine to rely on p The male protagonist of UA returned, and even the plan was finally achieved by chance and coincidence. Just, just, the character established by the heroine in the first half of the book collapsed. The image of the male protagonist who could barely compete with the heroine suddenly became low to the core. Therefore, I didn't feel the sweetness between the male and female protagonists later. What I actually expected to see was that after the heroine succeeded in escaping with a plan, she would show more of the heroine's strategies in major matters and her qualities as a master. However, I didn't expect that the heroine would only use small schemes to continue scheming after she left. All I could see was that she was smart in small things, and her responses to big events were all completed through very idealistic handling. However, in the last few chapters where the heroine gradually joins politics and reveals her abilities, I thought it was pretty well rounded. It's just that what I was looking forward to for most of the book ended up being just a filler before the ending, which made me a little uncomfortable. I was looking forward to seeing a truly strong female protagonist (the male protagonist must be worthy of the female protagonist regardless of whether he is rimmed or not). This was the reason why I started reading this book. I didn't see what I wanted to see, but I also knew that as far as the setting of the female protagonist in this book was concerned, it would be too difficult to make a comeback and even hope was slim. Therefore, the solution given by the wife in the end was actually not satisfactory. I am really happy to see that more and more people are trying to write about real strong women. I am so happy for her flourishing that I shed tears. I also look forward to my wife giving more possibilities in other articles in the future. I just hope that a mean reader like me doesn't get scolded too much.
After a year, I came back to read it again. This is still my top 10 book in which the male protagonist is reduced to ashes after being robbed by force! The ending of the main text really implements the pursuit of the wife in the crematorium. Even if the extra chapter is he, it is because the heroine got bored in the long road of life after having a successful career, so she wanted to find the hero and seek love instead of fully accepting the hero's love and being grateful to live as his beloved wife. What's more, the heroine has always been smart, cunning, tolerant and independent. She is not the kind of woman who can only live by relying on others for love.
But I really like stories where the heroine always sticks to her heart by forcefully taking her away from her! ! ! ! Madam, this article is the best and most interesting I have ever read about rape and robbery! ! ! ! ! ! I beg my wife to write more articles like this in the future! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Why is the male protagonist so affectionate but not affectionate? It would be better to just give the throne to the female protagonist. But it is still very enjoyable to watch. Maybe I have seen too many rapes and plunders in general, and even think that the male protagonist is very pitiful and unlucky. I need to reflect on myself.
The ending is so wonderful, both the BE in the main text and the HE in the extra chapter are great, two different exciting flavors. After repeated recollection, I couldn't help but laugh out loud ~ Oh, it seems that I laughed too much. Let me shed a tear for the male mainstream (I cried, I pretended). I just want to express my love for Sister Mei. It is really rare to have such a copper pea-shaped heroine who has a firm will and a high ambition, can bend and stretch, and my heart already belongs to Mae Mae!
The ending is the essence, but I feel that the part about torturing the male protagonist is too short.
Like! ! ! The ending is simply wonderful. It can be said that the heroine has not only mastered the power she wants but also the love she wants. In the end, even if the hero remembers everything, it is useless. The loyal guards and eunuchs have been sent away by the heroine. No matter how angry he is, he can only stay in the harem to take care of the children and be the heroine's obedient puppy??? And whether it is the princess x guards in the early stage or the empress x guards in the end, it is indeed better than the empress period when the male protagonist is the emperor. It's really awesome that you can write this ending. I've watched so many rapes and the later stages of chasing my wife that I can never see the ending. But the ending of this book is really satisfying. I really understand why the heroine didn't completely kill the hero in the end. It's not that she hates him and wants to kill him for revenge. It's just that he really blocked her way. He didn't threaten her at all and she got him back. I cried to death. Don't the hero like the feeling of the heroine stepping on him? This can be considered a two-way journey??? I like it very much and look forward to the next work! !
So the male protagonist's true nature is Yu Kuang, not Xi Kuang. Whether he has lost his memory or is a modern AU, he is still the character of Yu Kuang from the beginning. After being abused, Xi Kuang becomes a mad dog, which is somewhat fragmented.
