Yiyi's Reading List
I like historical romance. I've been reading for a long time, so I'm especially picky and have particular tastes. Every book I recommend is well-written, tightly structured, and logically plotted, with no over-the-top wish fulfillment, shallow writing, or saintly heroines. I especially appreciate smart, bold, decisive, and efficient female leads. I only recommend books I've enjoyed enough to read at least twice, so come read along with me.

It was a slightly disappointing yet unforgettable watch. The Ruan family, Ruan San, Consort Xie—everyone who bullied the female lead seemed to escape punishment. As for the male lead, well, I can only say I preferred the naive and innocent boy experiencing first love to the Prince of Jin.
The ending felt rushed; a few more side stories should have been written. Perhaps the author was simply tired.
I've always enjoyed reading historical romance novels on Qidian.com, but the problem is, after finishing this one, I find other ones utterly uninteresting.
The first half and the second half are separate. Why? It was so good at the beginning, but the ending was a bit of a letdown, getting more and more melodramatic as it went on. 😭
Hmm, I read this story a long time ago, and all I can say is that the second half of it was... Well, let's just say it was a bit of a letdown.
There are very few novels of this quality on Qidian.com; the comments are almost all deleted.
Uh, I wanted to see more of the main characters later on, but there wasn't... The male lead previously said he wanted to find out more about the female lead's background, and the time-travel aspect was never properly developed. The ending felt a bit rushed, a real shame. However, the writing and concept were actually quite good; it would have been even better if this work had been completed with more care.
It was a good read, but the ending felt rushed and many things weren't explained. Did the author have something going on at the time?
The protagonist of this story is a complete and utterly self-important fool.
This is the third time I've watched it; I've checked different websites, and some content has been deleted.
