Personal Collection, BG, Decent or Good Reads
An eccentric and old-fashioned taste, with melodramatic, feudal tropes. My likes and dislikes are unpredictable (enter with caution).

Saving these for later, though I might not read them
Fully Purchased Series: Romance
A few more strong female leads, please
BG, To My Taste
For my own reference: romance stories I feel like rereading, with a strong focus on the relationship. I prefer relatively equal relationships or strong female leads with weaker male leads, though not every story on this list fits.
Romance / No CP
A few readable ones.
Heroines I Absolutely Adore
The heroines have all the wonderful qualities I love! (I'll slowly write reviews for the ones I haven't commented on when I remember, hehe.)
Spring Radiance, Dawn Moon (Historical Arc)
My favorite historical novels
BG Eclectic Reads
Keeping track of books I enjoyed after finishing them. Updated now and then. Pure BG or female-led stories with no romance pairing. Any genre: contemporary, historical, infinite flow, xianxia, or Western fantasy.
Romance: A Powerful Couple Made for Each Other
You two are the perfect match~
Great BG Romance
Purely personal taste, and I'm picky. Sometimes I really want to add a few books as warnings, but then I feel like I'd be polluting the list.

The writing is very good [crying], the author should write more romance books, I have never seen such a wonderful heroine [come on]
It's really a novel with good writing and plot. I didn't expect that I'd never read a novel with so many words. I woke up early and finished it at night [covering my face and laughing]. I look forward to the publication of this book in the future! I'm also looking forward to Dada's next work, come on! !
Woohoo, baby, can you please write a side story? I really like the princess.
I like that the male and female protagonists are equally matched. I recommend everyone to watch it.
Nice! ! ! ! ! !
Rather than complaining about cp, what I like more is that the author has built a real and full world in the story. Needless to say, the author of Princess Zhang Yuwan is the most vividly displayed online author I have ever seen who can display the bug of princess' status as monarch's power > father's power most vividly. Therefore, the title in the previous article has always been princess, and I have no objection. It's a pity that the author revealed the name of the princess in the story, and I thought that revealing the real name would be a critical point in the plot. It's a pity, because the name of the princess can make a big fuss. The author also arranged poems and dictionaries later, and when the ending was finalized, he arranged other people's responses to the poems when commenting on the princess. The princess's name will be my deepest memory of this novel. After talking about the princess, I didn't even know who to mention for a moment, because everyone's life is so vivid, and every plot direction is beyond my expectation and makes sense. Of course, it is inevitably far-fetched for the sake of plot effect, but it all serves the theme. The Imperial City section is a bit long-winded, but at the end of the palace change, Yuwan's deconstruction of imperial power is really wonderful. I had always regretted that she could not ascend the throne, but at that moment I was convinced that Yuwan was truly enlightened and not Wuqiuhe who dared not succeed, so I let go of this obsession. There are also several supporting characters that left a deep impression on me, including Mei Niang who took the money and didn't know whether to work in the outer city or return to her uncle's house, Su Fang who looks free and easy but is actually very affectionate, He who is still studying in the middle of the night, and of course Li Qingniang, Chen Cheng, and Zhang Rong who did not appear in the main timeline. Two pairs of siblings are deeply in love, oh, even three pairs. The author arranged this part very well. If there is a wonderful sentence to sublimate it, it would be even more perfect. If you want to talk about it in detail, there are naturally many shortcomings, but I followed Yuwan and Lu Wei through this thrilling experience, which is really wonderful, and the rest is not worth mentioning. There are also many characters who are not mentioned much but are unforgettable. When I think about them still living in that world, I still feel unsatisfied.
It took me a few days to read it. Court + some rivers and lakes + detective work is the author's best comfort zone. This type of writing style is mature and supported by the author's historical skills. It is better than the author's modern writing and fairy tale writing. This article is also above the standard. Especially the first half, while successfully creating a unique and wise heroine image, it also connected the little foreshadowings laid out in a series. The suspense was set just right, and it gradually got better and better, which was very attractive. However, this kind of history involving noble status such as court, princess and emperor will inevitably fall into the trap of famine, rebellion, struggle for the throne, and finally a happy reunion. Therefore, when the story enters the second half, you can feel some creative fatigue on the part of the author. It was okay when we were in Chang'an, but as we approached the Luoyang line, we clearly felt that the plot was speeding up, and some clues were too lazy to write down in detail. The author uses some techniques to speed up the progress of the plot, such as saying a few paragraphs to quickly explain the summary of the plot, paving the way for subsequent omissions. But overall it still makes people feel slightly unreasonable. For example, the Zheng family suddenly slaughtered all their guests. Although they gave a reason, it still felt not enough. For example, Zhang Fan suddenly killed the emperor during a rebellion. Although many such nonsensical things have happened in history (as the author said, novels require logic, but in fact there is no logic), but it does feel like playing at twice the speed of Goldfinger when reading. In addition to some previous historical background stories, whether the characters are powerful (such as the two protagonists of "Qianqiu") or powerful officials, their influence on the entire society is still small-scale, but in this story, the imperial examination part has a much greater influence on society. Although it was almost certainly the experiment during the Southern and Northern Dynasties + the Sui and Tang Dynasties that finalized this matter, it still seems a bit hasty. Overall, this book is still a good one, and the author has tried hard not to fall into the cliché. However, this kind of story setting is destined to be somewhat clichéd in the end. As a reader, the feeling is that the further the story goes, the more it feels like a ball deflating. Although the ball was still a ball until the end, it was much shriveled. Thanks to the author for his creation, and I look forward to the author's continued breakthroughs in the future!
The quality of our works is always guaranteed
I've finished reading it again, it's a great story, the princess and the hero are both smart people, the princess is so good, and the main character is so well written.
I really like this article and every character in it. They all have very three-dimensional and full personalities. They are not all good or all bad. What's more, the one that struck me the most was Xie Wei'an. His perseverance and dedication, forbearance and wisdom really struck a chord with me, making me feel the same way.
