Some Favorite Period Dramas

Fantasy Themes I've Been Into Lately
Personal favorites.
Romance Grab Bag, Including No-Romance Stories, Still Looking for Something to Read
Personal preferences: plot > romance. I prefer stories centered on the heroine and BG pairings. I can't handle sad endings at all, only happy endings. Almost no derivative works. Finished (hit the list limit, damn it).
A Mixed Bag of Books Featuring Female Leads
I like stories with strong female leads and no CP, with the occasional male-lead story. Romance is just seasoning (I only read it now and then). I also like animals, post-apocalyptic settings, sci-fi, and fresh, original premises.
Give These a Try
Some pretty good novels
Some Books I Like
I read all kinds of things, but I prefer happy endings. Some favorites I've finished or am currently following. This is just a record for myself. There was a limit on the number of ratings, so I gave them whatever.
Great Historical-Era Stories
Just dive in with your eyes closed. There's family life, a lively cast, and plenty of patriotic feeling.
Strong Female Leads! Highly Recommended
So good!

Pre-collection of "I Inherited a Restaurant in Xiangjiang" There is a restaurant in Mong Kok that has been open for 40 years. It is packed with guests and praised highly by diners; However, there is also a crisis hidden in the prosperity. The boss is old and has no successor, and the apprentice starts a new business to grab customers at a low price. The diners secretly regretted that this restaurant might not be open for a few more years. One day, the boss brought his granddaughter from the mainland and decided to let her run the restaurant. That granddaughter is said to be a shepherdess who grew up in the northwest Gobi Desert. The diners sighed secretly, thinking that this restaurant might not be able to stay open for a few more days. Cantonese chef Yue Ning, who is picky about both ingredients and diners, is still sought after by gourmets and is dressed as a shepherdess from the Northwest in the 1970s. Not to mention abalone, sea cucumbers, bird's nests, even cattle and sheep belong to the state, and she can only feed them but not eat them. Seeing the reform and opening up, Yue Ning thought about opening a small restaurant in the city. She vowed never to pick out ingredients or diners again. One day, an old man who claimed to be her grandfather found her and told her that he owned a Cantonese restaurant in Xiangjiang...
This book is the best drama I have seen in Jinjiang in recent years. It would be great if it could be made into a TV series. I hope the author will produce more masterpieces.
Really well written. It also allows us to understand the selfless and fearless dedication of the people across the country and overseas Chinese compatriots from all over the world during the Anti-Japanese War, who sacrificed their lives and blood for the motherland.
It's over, there is no meal replacement in the whole network. I really like this article.
So well written! The time span is very long and the perspective is very novel. It is my first time to read the history of the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese War. Thank you to the author for this excellent book ~ Jiahong and Ying Lan 999999999
In the end, my Chinese heart is full of tears, and the patriotic hearts of a family that has been turbulent for hundreds of years.

What you say is well-founded and can withstand scrutiny. A novel based on the foundation of history and rich life experience, it does not make people feel empty after reading it. This is an excellent literary work.
I cried a lot and it was so well written. Although the author did not deliberately exaggerate the suffering, and even summed up many plots in one stroke, he did a good job of letting us know the history. I really like it
I learned a lot. Very well written.
