Historical Romance I’ve Stockpiled
The female lead isn't a pushover, the plot generally holds up to scrutiny, and there are no Athena types or stories where the protagonist is smart and everyone else is an idiot. These are books I think are readable, without making me want to throw my phone in frustration. 23333 When I have time, I'll try out recommended books. If I like them, I'll add them here. If I'm not sure yet, I'll add them with a note and keep them until I decide they don't suit my taste or the list is full. If a book re
Fates Begin and End in Their Time, All Is Heaven's Will
I read all kinds of books, so my recommendations are all over the place too. I read different genres depending on my mood, and whether I add or remove books is a matter of mood as well. As the title says, all things have their time: sometimes I fall in love with a book, sometimes I hate it. It's all fate.
A Cup of Tea, a Book, and Some Quiet Time
The heroine grows as she struggles.
Splendid
I’ve been reading novels for about seven or eight years now, and I’ve read plenty of web fiction over that time. Today I’d like to share some novels I think are especially good. Of course, I mostly read romance aimed at women, and I have to rule out horror and suspense. I’m a scaredy-cat, what can I say...

A Yan's Reading List
Just a random list, with recommendations and rants. Just in case, let me make this clear: for me, a book passes if the prose flows and the logic holds together. Also, many of these are older books, so they might not go over as well if you read them now.

Cultivation, Palace Intrigue, and Household Intrigue. Struggling Against Heaven Is Joyful, and Struggling Against People Is Joyful
Cultivation and immortality stories, mostly ones I like. When I'm out of books to read, I turn to palace intrigue, family drama, and farming stories about people who transmigrate!

Holy crap, the male lead is the uncle?!!!! That's awesome, awesome, awesome! Haha!
I have to rant a bit. This story is getting increasingly illogical. The Empress, despite being deeply loved by the Emperor, having children, and holding a high position, is constantly being criticized and disrespected. It feels like no one in the palace, including the Emperor, has any real cunning.
This is appalling; they've completely disregarded human ethics!
I was curious after reading the comments and skipped through a bit. The content was alright, but I didn't like the characters. I don't mind that the male lead is the female lead's uncle and is more than ten years older than her, but what bothers me is that the male lead still has feelings for his wife (the female lead's aunt). Whether this feeling is guilt, because of their years of companionship, or romantic love, this is something I can't accept.
This book is really good, so why are so many people criticizing it? Seriously!
But isn't this normal? For example, in the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi Emperor's harem, there were countless sisters living together; in the Han Dynasty, nieces married their uncles—why is this unacceptable? Whether the content is good or not is one thing, but this kind of setting was very common in ancient times.
Could you please clarify the ages? How old are the male and female leads?
I can't accept such blatant ***!
That's just how the imperial harem is. Didn't Kangxi's empresses simply become empresses because his sister died, or his niece became empresses because his aunt died?
Is it a ****** article?
