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.

Old-World Charm
I'm recommending good books I've read over the years, mostly historical romances, but there are other genres too. I can't remember the titles of some of them. What should I do? Please help me find them! 1. The heroine is a micro-carver, and the hero is the emperor's illegitimate son. 2. A female-oriented xianxia novel. The heroine is a little beggar who accidentally finds a copper coin. She goes up the mountain with her senior brother to cultivate immortality and ends up with her junior uncle. 3

It's not bad. Because the female lead was rarely loved growing up, she had no hope for marriage. She just wanted it to last, and if even that couldn't be maintained, she'd rather divorce than be deprived of her dignity as a legal wife. This attitude is actually quite good. In ancient times, given that the female lead had six fingers, she was destined to marry eventually.
I really dislike male protagonists who sleep with different women.
I finished reading it. There weren't any melodramatic plot points, and the writing was generally smooth with a few minor digs. Overall, I felt the plot was too mediocre. The idea that a mere empress dowager could control the emperor, crown prince, and a host of noble families and high-ranking officials, deciding who to marry and who to favor, seems too fantastical.
Can a three- or five-year-old child say such a thing?
While I don't necessarily enjoy wish-fulfillment stories, the female lead's relentless self-destructive behavior—and the fact that she managed to survive without ruining herself, ultimately earning a reputation for arrogance and aloofness—fucked me. Her foolish belief that she could live a peaceful life without striving or fighting was nothing but self-deception; frankly, she's a coward.
I don't know what this book is trying to express. While reading it, I couldn't help but think of "The Way of the Mother," except this book is about the art of managing a husband. The part about pregnancy and childbirth shows the female protagonist's level of enlightenment is outrageously high, vividly portraying the image of a traditional, sheltered woman in feudal society.
Is it really okay for a three-year-old to write so well? That Lu-jie
The male lead loves the female lead very much; he is loyal and kind to her from beginning to end.
Liu Yueqing and Guo Yilu are inherently vulgar, short-sighted, and extremely selfish and vicious. How could they become so wise later on? It just feels strange.
It's too dizzying to look at, not suitable for me.
