Historical Romances That Emptied My Wallet Over the Years

1 四 Four Seasons Sweet Courtyard ChelephantRomance261k WordsCompleted 20.1kFavorites30.6kClicks/ch4.4kGifts

Curator note

Another childhood sweetheart story. The innocent interactions between boys and girls are delicious. Picking locust trees in spring, picking lotus in summer, threshing chestnuts in autumn, and embroidering clothes in winter. Emotions also flow with the four seasons from bud to fruition. I like some of the expressions of the author's ancient vernacular and some literary style. It's a pity that there is no extra chapter.

2 皇 The Queen Is My Little Green Plum A Fleeting MomentRomance393k WordsCompleted 64.3kFavorites83.2kClicks/ch17.3kGifts

Curator note

A pure and sweet childhood sweetheart, the love between an emperor and an empress, full of buffs for various status skills, the villainous supporting characters are too low-level, and the intrigues in the palace are slightly better than nothing. There is not much to say [covering face and crying with laughter] If you ask, it is not sweet and does not cost money. A sweet story suitable for reading before going to bed.

3 穿 Transmigrated as the Crown Princess of a Fallen Kingdom Rice Ball InvasionRomance696k WordsCompleted 374.3kFavorites657.7kClicks/ch281.2kGifts

Curator note

Covered in ancient sayings of Machiavellian war + light infrastructure, the founding emperor + a time-traveling woman, the founding emperor was destroyed by his unworthy descendants (the text was already in turmoil at the beginning), and he will be reborn by fate and then open the country again [covering face and laughing] There are supporting characters at the end to balance the literature, but I don't like to be cautious (because this should actually be rounded to three and a half stars) This type of writing can make me order and read all the instructions. At least the writing style is reasonable, but I can't remember any details [laughing]

4 主 A Guide to Surviving as the Principal Wife Cola Ginger SoupRomance1.2M WordsCompleted 133.6kFavorites148.1kClicks/ch297.8kGifts

Curator note

I feel like I am also getting rich. I read almost 1.2 Million words in two days [Lie flat] It's such a refreshing farming novel. It's not just about the advancement of knowledge and technology, it's not just about the lack of villains and less plotting and it's relatively easy. It's about the heroine embedding modern management experience into the ancient time and space framework, and the process of gradually rolling out her career is so smooth. In fact, the heroine was just trying to make money for herself at the beginning. There is no way out, and the human rights thinking that permeates the management concept is only an auxiliary means to make production more efficient (it is true that exploitation in feudal society is too vicious), but the texture of her soul given by modern ideology and the emotional experience of sincere exchanges between people have subtly allowed her to gradually embark on the path of managing the world and benefiting the people. It can be felt that the author's outline is very broad, and the writing style is relatively solid and has many details. In the later stage, it will be a little overwhelmed and the book will be finished in a hurry. Personally, I feel that according to the outline, the length of the book will be five to six hundred chapters. In one sentence, there is not enough writing to read [laughing and crying] Many farming stories are about modern people traveling into the bodies of ancient people. This book is quite innovative. It is a setting of past and present lives. The heroine who was born in ancient times goes to the modern age and then returns to the original era to save herself and realize her dream. There is an ancient farming story with a female-centered consciousness, and the story about time-travel farming is very exciting. Service is fundamental, but this article feels more down-to-earth. It is a real use of advanced concepts and technologies to make money to improve people's livelihood. I can clearly feel that the protagonist is working down-to-earth, especially when I see some shadows of my country's current people's livelihood policies in the back, which gives me a warm feeling. But to be honest, those things that the heroine does, especially the bookstore seminars that form a public opinion field, may really suffer disaster if they are placed under the noses of later dynasties or some petty monarchs. The low sense of imperial power is one of the cool points of this article [laughing] Speaking of golden fingers, I think the arrangement of this system is also quite interesting. The mechanism of serving charming men is transformed into an assistant for the heroine's career development due to the career impact and concept penetration of the heroine. In the process of the heroine's struggle, she also gradually gains wisdom and is a growth-oriented golden finger. Hahaha. Therefore, the main characters in this book are all upright, and they are engaged in their careers for most of the book. They don't indulge in love because they don't have time. The male protagonist becomes a tool in the early stage and becomes a dog in the later stage. There are few emotional lines and the progress is very slow. He only holds hands in Chapter 170, but sister-dog literature is delicious, believe me. The author's writing style and plot design are really a big improvement compared to the previous food article. There are many references in the text, which really shows that he has put a lot of effort into it.

5 误 After Marrying a Fierce Military Commander by Mistake A Little Green FluffballRomance263k WordsCompleted 16.2kFavorites22kClicks/ch4.8kGifts

Curator note

It's nice to look at. The heroine is sophisticated but not worldly. She has the brightness and innocence of a little girl but acts very steadily and has a lot of aura. I'll add the others when I think of them

6 喜 Happy Spring Is Coming Shu NingRomance427k WordsCompleted 32.4kFavorites67.4kClicks/ch46.6kGifts

Curator note

The heroine's soul travels to the Ming Dynasty to engage in education and training (Eight-legged Chinese version) The author seems to really want to teach readers how to scientifically prepare for the Ming Dynasty imperial examination (?) She is a bit of a genius when it comes to running with the ball, but the whole book focuses on the career line of the heroine. Although the hero is powerful, he has a bit of background. The emotional line of the horse in the later stage is short and smooth, and the cat sculpture is quite cute, but the hero is a bit ooc.

7 新 Newly Hired Yu ShiRomance538k WordsCompleted 301.8kFavorites259.4kClicks/ch341.8kGifts

Curator note

I finished reading it in one go. This year I finally came across an article that uses ancient bodies but normal human brain circuits to write about ancient clothing. It is still a man wearing it. As the original male protagonist's friend, he used clever tricks to overtake the latecomers. The key is! The male and female protagonists in this article reminded me of dog sculptures every minute - they looked exactly like Maltese and Border Collie! Such a cute and pure love couple, the heroine is super smart, the hero is very good at acting, the deputy cp is a very exciting dog training literature.

8 二 Second Spring Breeze A Little Green FluffballRomance312k WordsCompleted 12.3kFavorites12.3kClicks/ch8.4kGifts

Curator note

The female protagonist is super charming and the male protagonist is a leading daddy. He is never soft-spoken when he should be wet. The writing is very smooth. I like it.

9 诸 Everything Is Appropriate and There Are No Taboos Mu MuziRomance321k WordsCompleted 265.7kFavorites350.6kClicks/ch108.8kGifts

Curator note

The author's writing style and control of the rhythm of the story are excellent. What I like most is that the text is very graphic and the characters are full, three-dimensional and lifelike. It has been a long time since I have read such a smooth and comfortable article.

10 唐 A Little Physician from the Tang Dynasty Pine Snow PastryRomance797k WordsCompleted 119.3kFavorites131kClicks/ch303.4kGifts

Curator note

I have been following the author's first book. I can see that the language and fluency have improved a lot. The theme of traditional Chinese medicine is also very good. It is a relaxing farming article worth reading.

11 汴 The Little Noodle Shop in Bianjing Pine Snow PastryRomance729k WordsCompleted 185.1kFavorites231.5kClicks/ch332.5kGifts

Curator note

No resistance to food articles

12 长 A Long Wind Across the Ferry Mo ShubaiRomance978k WordsCompleted 671.3kFavorites1.3MClicks/ch502.2kGifts

Curator note

Everyone has a responsibility to save the dandy. There's nothing to say about it (the harshest point is that the book is much better than the movie)

13 岁 Sui Youzhao (Double Birth) August in SummerRomance638k WordsCompleted 353.9kFavorites516.8kClicks/ch143.7kGifts

Curator note

In my impression, it is a decent ancient story. The extra chapter about the Emperor and Empress is very interesting.

14 在 Open a Canteen in the Imperial College Pine Snow PastryRomance494k WordsCompleted 154kFavorites184.1kClicks/ch165.6kGifts

Curator note

God knows how much I love ancient farming articles. This article is also a group portrait.

15 科 The Men's Clothing Boss of the Imperial Examination Cherry CakeRomance401k WordsCompleted 61.8kFavorites144.5kClicks/ch53.8kGifts

Curator note

Don't worry about the details, it's just a very good story about a woman who disguises herself as a man, takes the imperial examination, turns into a civil servant, and falls in love with her boss.

16 大 The Magistrate's Work Little Sweet PotatoRomance741k WordsCompleted 89.4kFavorites315.8kClicks/ch98.7kGifts

Curator note

This article is a group portrait of food + detective work. The heroine is a modern forensic doctor who travels through an imaginary dynasty with a box. The hero is a general who has removed his armor and returned to his fields. Detection and cooking are the main lines, and the emotional line of the characters is probably that the hero saves the beauty, falls in love at first sight, and then falls in love again. From the beginning, it is a bit of a sweet story to serve the main plot. In fact, later on [laughing and crying], occasionally the golden finger is a bit too big. For example, the heroine has her intestines dislodged and uses various kinds of surreal thinking to solve problems. From top to bottom, no one is careful about the heroine's identity. It's just a farming story and it's just a fun read [laughing and crying]

17 开 Kaifeng Prefecture Food Exploration Little Sweet PotatoRomance611k WordsCompleted 75.2kFavorites150.1kClicks/ch80.4kGifts

Curator note

It's also a micro-group portrait of food + detective work. I didn't think much about the foreshadowing at first, thinking it was a sweet story with a light tone like the one above. But later I found out that the heroine was out for revenge, and she blew up the male protagonist's old tomb for revenge [laughing and crying] It seemed like it was ridiculous. This kind of story is put together with family feud and family hatred. . . A little weird [laughing and crying] but overall it's pretty good.

19 隔 The Little Scholar Next Door Little Sweet PotatoRomance546k WordsCompleted 36.8kFavorites79.3kClicks/ch31.8kGifts

Curator note

It's a food and farming novel, but it's not a snail girl but a snail boy. Cooking and farming connect the story of rivers and lakes. The plot is slightly lighter than the previous two books, and it's also very suitable for fishing (actually, I mainly read it to watch cooking [laughing])

20 共 Symbiosis Words in the WindRomance201k WordsCompleted 4.6kFavorites4.9kClicks/ch1.5kGifts

Curator note

Hateful people must be pitiable in the literature about evil women. The writing is good, but the storyline of the heroine killing a few people should not be feasible [laughing and crying] I like the feeling of living towards death at the end be. I hope the heroine will have a good pregnancy in her next life and don't have to deal with the parents who raised her as a murder tool (Friends with higher moral standards should not click this)

21 长 Changan Small Restaurant Cherry CakeRomance336k WordsCompleted 306.3kFavorites624.6kClicks/ch168.4kGifts

Curator note

One of the top articles of 2024, I have reread it at least five times. This book is really the god of food writing, and one of the few ancient books that I bought as a souvenir in paper form. Needless to say, the plot is smooth and the characters are vivid. I like the author's writing style very much. The writing is as timely as possible. It has the grace and atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also has the free and unrestrained style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is able to balance the literary style and the sense of drama that must be in a novel very well. At the same time, the textual research on objects and images is also very meticulous, combining elegance and vulgarity. It feels like traveling to ancient times to read a storybook. The author's writing style is a bit like the romance of the 10s, and you can read the depth of the text. The overall plot is very relaxed, mainly focusing on the heroine's restaurant business. The character settings and emotional lines are relatively classic, but there is actually no sense of boredom when reading. The focus is on food management and the display of market culture in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the plot line, it is very late and completely atmospheric. The female protagonist is optimistic and open-minded, and the male protagonist is gentle and elegant. One is the bright spring sun, and the other is the pine and bamboo trees by the stream. You can imagine how delicious they are [waving hands] *And a friendly reminder: Do not read this book with a film and television filter, it is completely two levels

22 折 Broken Bamboo and Broken Jade Dark BlueRomance538k WordsCompleted 225.5kFavorites184.9kClicks/ch80kGifts

Curator note

The title of the book is the plot - "How to make an abstinent young man go crazy" against the political background of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The first half of the book is more exciting. The heroine is not a white flower, but also a type who is slowly growing up. The characters are very three-dimensional. I will read it again when I have time.

23 开 The Little Princess of the Founding Emperor Laughing BeautyRomance586k WordsCompleted 174.1kFavorites242.7kClicks/ch472.2kGifts

Personally I think it's a film [Dog Head] that is very suitable for film and television. Have you seen the copyright department?
