Peach Blossoms by the Pond 🌸 (Old List)
♚ Great historical romance, transmigration, rebirth, and household-intrigue stories for female readers ♚ I've updated the comments (tap the top-right corner and select “Show list owner's comments only”) ♚ The comments won't recommend only historical romance, but everything I've read there is good~(˘▾˘~) Of course, the list owner also rambles a bit (๑˙❥˙๑) ♚ I mainly recommend completed novels, so there may be quite a few older ones (✿ฺ-ω-) ♚( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧

Great Reads, by Yingying's Book List
Books with great writing and sound values Some books might not seem very good to other people, but everyone has different opinions. I think these are all gems! And as someone who's really picky about novels, I think all the books on this list are pretty good. If any appeal to you, give them a try! Hahaha, on a whim, I have this to say to anyone who wants to bash the list: Go ahead, bash away! The more you do, the more people will read it, and that'll drive you crazy... Hahahahaha
The Beauty of Classical Prose
Classical stories with elegant, flowing prose. Rebirth, transmigration, cultivation, xianxia, and history are all welcome.
Books I’ve Read and Think Are Worth Remembering
Books I think are pretty good, all of which I've read myself. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Four and a half stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ For some reason, this list was blocked for several years. I only remembered it recently, and found that I had to delete a lot of content and books before it would pass review. I have to say, there have been very few good female-oriented novels on Qidian these past couple of years.
At the Summit of Caiyun
In those days, letters traveled slowly, rules were numerous, and doctrines were strict, but there was always someone dearly loved.

To add to that, some readers might find the female protagonist somewhat cold towards her grandparents, parents, and friends. However, she is a reincarnated woman, and she has no one she can truly trust. Both her father's and mother's families treat her as a pawn. If she were to act even slightly saintly, she would repeat the mistakes of her past life.
Emperor Jia'an was a man of great talent and ambition. Even at the last moment, his love for his son surpassed that of Consort Cui. He considered the fate of the nation and paved the way for his beloved son. Unlike other emperors who distrusted their sons, he paved the way for them, willing to bear the infamy himself rather than let the new emperor be labeled a tyrant.
Unexpectedly, Jia'an Emperor, whom I hate the most, received overwhelming praise in the comment section. It must be said that Emperor Jia'an was a man of great talent and great ideas. He cut off the dependence of aristocratic families, centralized power, and eliminated all hidden dangers during his reign, leaving peace and clarity to Yan Zhui.
I suddenly realized that writing political intrigue stories for female readers is really difficult; it's mentally taxing. Then, even after the author puts in so much effort, readers sometimes find it illogical and unrealistic. This is often due to being misled by the prevalence of Ming and Qing dynasty-themed historical romance novels.
There are three uncomfortable points in the whole article: The first point: The important cannon fodder in the article died by having his neck chopped off, and they were all about to fall off. The method of death was single, and it felt like the author had an obsession with this kind of death
Of all the ancient romance novels I've read, "The Eldest Daughter" is the most amazing one. The author has such great writing skills!
I came here after reading the entertainment headlines and found that "The Eldest Daughter" is very wordy and bad. I didn't expect the same author to have such different writing styles and such different logic.
Isn't the female lead too cold? The male lead's feelings for her seem inexplicable. When the male and female leads interact, the female lead remains silent and expressionless for ages; who would like a wooden-faced beauty?
The emperor favored Consort Rong for nearly thirty years to bring down the Rong family, and also doted on her niece and sister-in-law, elevating her entire family. Was he purely lustful, or was he sacrificing himself as a male favorite to destroy the Rong family? He was the emperor; he could easily have set up a scheme to kill the Rong family and their associates under any pretext.
There are so few truly compelling political intrigue novels for female readers. I've searched for ages, and they almost all follow the same formula: the female protagonist is reborn and seemingly confined to a secluded inner court, constantly scheming. Ever since reading *Phoenix Transmigrates to the Remnant Han Dynasty*, I've been experiencing a complete reading slump; I feel like I'll never find a novel like this again.
