Historical romance, with the romance and plot split roughly 50/50. Family intrigue, political machinations, a serious tone, transmigrate and reborn, sweet romance, wuxia, and xianxia.

Books I’ll Keep Rereading, All Fully Purchased

A bit of everything! I add new stories from time to time, along with old favorites that have practically taken up permanent residence in my bookmarks. Romance and danmei included. Most of the fanfic is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and Harry Potter.

Historical Romance Novels Where the Male Lead Becomes Emperor

Historical romance where the male lead starts out not being emperor but becomes emperor later. No angst for the female lead.

Unfinished Reads...

Contains a bit of everything, for all sorts of reasons.

Five-Star Reads

Clever concepts, good writing, well-rounded characters, fresh plots, and happy endings. Some of these books are so old I can't remember the details, but I remember them as excellent works!

Comfort Reads to Save for Later

Stories we passed by over the years. Hope to meet again this cozy winter, with a stockpile of novels to read.

Highly Recommended Historical Romance

Just my personal taste. Please don't hate on it if you disagree. Thanks (????ω`??)

My Favorites

Nine-Point Picks

Only recommending exceptionally high-quality romance or no-CP stories

44: Twenty Years of Reading, Gone in the Blink of an Eye

Mostly historical romance, with the occasional modern-day one.

Plot-Driven, Smart Female-Led Stories [All Complete]

My priorities are 1. prose, 2. worldbuilding, 3. plot, 4. logic, 5. values... I'm not into romance, and I love feminism. Overall, this is a mixed bag, with lots of infrastructure-building, management, and progression stories. Feel free to chat!
