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.

Is the male protagonist of Holding Grass an uncle? ! ! ! Awesome, awesome, awesome haha
I can't bear to complain. The more I write this article, the less logical it becomes. As a queen, she is loved by the emperor very much. She has children and a superior status. However, she is criticized and disrespected in person every day. I feel that no one in this palace, including the emperor, is very scheming. The palace is more like a sieve where anyone can come and pass something casually to frame her. King Hui is staring at her all day long. Why do you want the queen to poison the emperor and kill the prince? Women other than the heroine have so much time to do. They don't want to worry about the housekeeper or the concubine and raise the child. They just focus on the heroine. Ever since the child was born, the plot has become speechless. The prince who has a son is not being stared at. He just stares at the queen with a baby. It is always the group of people who try to get the queen and then the queen defends and slaps her in the face. Are you tired?
It's so terrible, so disrespectful of human ethics!
I was a little curious after reading the comments and read a little bit. The content was okay, but I didn't like the characters. I don't really mind that the male protagonist is the heroine's uncle and is more than ten years older than the heroine. What I care more about is that the male protagonist has always had his first wife (the heroine's aunt) in his heart. Whether this feeling is guilt or due to years of companionship or the relationship between a man and a woman, this is something I can't accept.
This book is very good. Why do so many people complain about it? It's true!
But, isn't it normal? For example, in the Kangxi harem of the Qing Dynasty, how many sisters lived together, and the nieces of the Han Dynasty married their uncles, so why wouldn't this work? Whether the content is good or not is one thing, but with this setting, there were many situations like this in ancient times.
Could you please tell me the ages clearly? How old are the male and female protagonists?
I can't accept such blatant ***
That's how the harem is. Isn't it true that Kangxi's queen will be her sister if her elder sister dies, and her niece will be her aunt's death?
Is it a ****** article?
