Must-Read Historical Fiction for Protagonist Fans
Keeping track of some delicious historical stories. Highly recommend them! Confetti!
A Few Imperial Exam Novels
I like stories with strong plotlines, regardless of pairing. I read BG, BL, no-CP, and derivative works.
Prone to Going on Hiatus, but Good
Could all you authors become perpetual motion machines? (sucking on my fingers) P.S. I'm the ultimate omnivore when it comes to stories.
Reading Log
I follow the scent to GB and BG stories (I’d starve if I only read BG) | Historical romance, ABO, and modern romance are rare | Edited 2026-08-27.
Must-Reads Worth Revisiting
BL and BG both welcome
A Collection of Great Reads That Stand the Test of Time
I've been reading for 15+ years and have little patience for stories. This list has plenty of brainless feel-good reads, as well as beautifully written stories and ones with great plots.
Delicious
There's something for every taste, from Haitang to Qidian, from danmei to stories about women. Sweet romance, decisive, badass women, leveling up, and farming stories too.
Catching Up on Ongoing Series
Includes, but isn’t limited to, BG, BL, and stories with a male or female lead and no CP. (I tend to adore all new releases.)
Historical Style
A record.
Pretty Good
Why can’t I give them all five stars?
A Hodgepodge of Recommendations 1
A mix of genres, all things I thought were pretty good. I haven’t read many female-lead or romance stories lately, so there might not be any. There may be some female-lead stories with no CP, though.
Historical Fiction I Enjoy
They're not exactly focused on history; this is purely my personal taste! I like court-politics stories that feel more realistic...
BG + GB
I thought it over and decided to put together a reading list after all, even though I don't seem to read that often...
Eclectic Mystery Box (Stars = Overall Experience, Not Quality)
I love stories with lots of couple interactions and fantastic plots! (I only remember how the stories made me feel. The plot itself is hidden behind a veil of ignorance x)
Stories I Love and Hate (Please Finish Them)
Unfinished
Miracle Hands: Curing Low Blood Pressure
Historical, power-fantasy, and infrastructure-building stories. My reasons for recommending them vary, and some may be repeated from other lists. Ratings follow Jinjiang's standards, so not everything can get five stars.

Original Novels I’ve Read Over the Years
Lots of wish-fulfillment stories; if it's not satisfying, I don't read it. Mostly plot-driven, and in romance-focused stories the women aren't too submissive or self-effacing. Use your own judgment on the few I had to give four stars. There is some danmei, but not much.
Original Fiction
Original fiction, both no-CP and romance; some are still ongoing
Historical Derivative Recommendations
These are the historical fiction books I've read that I think are really well written. I care a lot about prose and like a more literary style. These are personal recommendations.
No Romance Pairing / Crossover Anime
Keeping track. (For rereads and avoiding things I dislike.)

That's why the old father has never been promoted again [covering his face and laughing and crying] [covering his face and laughing and crying]
I feel that in this book, the author has a lot more plots about elbow control, and the style of painting is a bit heavier. [Glasses] Compared with the article about the eldest son, which focuses on the imperial examination, I feel that the author writes more about being an official in this book [Glasses]
I discovered another treasured author, his writing style is so good. I would like to ask, how many words does this work have?
Look good, happy Mid-Autumn Festival [shy]
I feel like all my hard work is going to be exhausted, and I can't bear to urge you to update it.
