   Curator note

   It's quite long, but still readable. The female lead's growth is clear and solid, and the male lead's love story is portrayed in a fresh and natural way. It's one of the few historical novels that I can immerse myself in without feeling that it's too idiotic or illogical.

2. 2 替 Years After the Substitute Marriage 替嫁多年后 Ning Su宁夙Romance538k WordsCompleted Jiang Wanrou took her legitimate elder sister’s place and married Lu Feng, the Duke’s eldest son, who could not walk properly. Since the marriage had come about in a less than honorable way, she was cautious at all times. She cared for her elders, managed the household accounts, and kept the ducal residence running smoothly.

   Five-star read! It's a masterpiece that even the author couldn't replicate. The entry point, character development, and plot are all excellent and original. A must-read! [Applause]

3. 3 春21+ A Letter from Spring 春日简书 You Sijie尤四姐Romance476k WordsCompleted 109.8kFavorites129.3kClicks/ch148.6kGifts

   Curator note

   It's a complete, slice-of-life story, but the ending, where the female lead becomes the Crown Princess and then Empress, takes on responsibilities and feels a bit formulaic, as the career paths for women in ancient times are rarely original. However, the writing is absolutely five-star, and while the plot has minor flaws, it's still a five-star recommendation.

4. 4 新 My Husband Transmigrated to Steal Me From the Male Lead 新聘 Yu Shi榆莳Romance538k WordsCompleted Gu Lingyi, daughter of the Minister of Revenue, had two great regrets in her life. First, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Jiang Xuanqing, who had placed third in the palace exams, broke off their engagement in public: “I have no romantic feelings for you. From now on, you can think of me as your older brother.” Second, she believed Cui Yi’s empty promises that he would one day rise to the highest offices and always outshine Jiang Xuanqing. In a moment of foolishness, she agreed to marry h 307.1kFavorites265.2kClicks/ch349.7kGifts

   There were so many funny moments! [Applause] Updates were very timely. The female lead, Su Lingyi, who loves astronomy and has a talent for arithmetic, is a rare character whose personality is far more compelling than the male lead's. Her brilliance wasn't overshadowed by Xiao Cui at all. She has her own hobbies, career achievements, a harmonious and happy family, a good friend, and countless excellent qualities. I really love her! [Applause]

5. 5 海 Sea and Snow, All Around 海雪弥漫 Yan Xuejie严雪芥Romance301k WordsCompleted Plankton dying in the depths of the sea, fecal pellets, silt, dust: all these filthy, decaying things gather and drift together, and are called "marine snow." Yu Guqiu and Tang Junian are just as tiny as plankton in the eyes of others, yet they are also a fall of marine snow in each other's lives.

   I'd be more inclined to give a high rating to stories about ordinary people's love, haha ​​[laughing and crying emoji]. There are quite a few love stories on JJ's Tianlong series, so a simple and ordinary story like Gu Qiu and Xiao Tang's, where they fall and can't climb back up, and are healed entirely by love, is very precious. It's a type of story I don't usually watch.

    Great article, I'll definitely reread it. It's just a little short of the yandere element I like. If there were no rating restrictions, I'd give it five stars!
