Completed Historical Romance with Female Leads
Classic historical romance novels with female leads that I've read, loved, and still think about from time to time. They're all complete; I don't like following ongoing series.
🌸🌸Comfort Reads🌸🌸
If you're tired of Mary Sues, sweet but clueless heroines, and cliched melodrama, come find something with a different kind of story. A bookworm with ten years of reading under their belt recommends these worthwhile reads! Reading is one of the most important ways I get through life, so I hope these thoughtful, personal recommendations are useful to you.
A Veteran Reader's Book List
I've been borrowing books for over a decade. Here's my reading list to share
Completed Gems Only
Some classics that have been complete for a long time, with both male- and female-led stories, as well as BL. There is no yuri, though, because I do not read it. I do not read one-woman-many-men stories, and I generally dislike one-man-many-women stories unless the plot is truly excellent. I will not include anything unfinished or anything I dislike in this list.
Savoring Tea and Appreciating Ink
These are all books I’m reading now or have finished, and that I personally enjoy. Mostly historical and classical-style stories, with some urban tales about powerful families and a few other genres mixed in. Feel free to take a look if you like them. If you don’t, please be kind and don’t bash them. That’s all.

It's very rough; it's said that even a prestigious family doesn't follow any rules.
Watching this unfold from beginning to end is just too damn frustrating!
And the male lead had so many concubines, yet he kept sleeping with them even after his period of inactivity ended. It disgusted me.
A scumbag male protagonist who takes a concubine at 14 and marries a wife at 20 & a modern medical female protagonist
The male protagonist's scumbag behavior in the early stages was obvious to all—his eldest concubine gave birth to his eldest daughter, causing his third daughter to fall out of favor; his second concubine gave birth to a son, who died and became erratic, causing her to fall out of favor; his third concubine gave birth to his second daughter, though the details are not mentioned; and his fourth…
I wanted to see what everyone was saying, but when I clicked in, two people were just spamming and spamming. I don't know if they were just spamming or if it was real love, but I couldn't stand it. You two can go play by yourselves.
I felt disgusted after reading a few chapters. The female lead is so despicable, and the male lead is such a scumbag.
Wow, I can't take it anymore, I've read up to chapter 76 and I feel utterly disgusted. Especially the male lead, I felt like throwing up all over him.
The female lead is truly despicable and the male lead is truly scumbag. Warning: Don't watch this!
A very difficult book to read; not recommended; contains distorted values.
I can't take it anymore! Doesn't a good woman deserve a good man who loves and cherishes her? She's been miserable from beginning to end; why not just ignore him and let him live or die? If the scumbag had made things difficult for the female lead more than three times at the beginning, she should have just given up and focused on remarrying.
Warning: This is really not recommended. It's unbearable to watch how the male and female leads end up together.
