Over the years, there have been books I might read from beginning to end, or scenes, or moments, or characters, or ideas, or even the mood I was in while reading, that always come back to mind.

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.

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.
Recommendations from a Reader of Over Ten Years
I've read so many books that I may have forgotten the details of many of them. But every book I recommend is one I think is worth reading. The books I admire and enjoy are generally well thought out and worth examining closely.

I love feel-good, satisfying stories💕💕💕 I don’t stick to any one style, but I can’t stand ridiculous plot points! Lately I’m in the mood for doting romance, the more indulgent the better. I’m starved for affection 😓 I know, it’s ridiculous…

Read a Thousand Books, Find a Quiet Moment in a Lonely Life
I believe in being true to my feelings. I long for friendship, but I will never beg for it; I long for love, but I will never beg for it. Whether it's a beautiful woman or a handsome man, if we click, we're kindred spirits; if we grow close, we understand each other. I hope to be understood, but I will never beg for understanding; I yearn for a better world, but I will never go against my conscience.

I simply cannot accept that several women could share one husband. Moreover, the male lead is a scumbag who already has seven or eight children, what a waste of modern women!
I couldn't continue after 50 chapters... The scumbag is slowly redeeming himself, and I reckon the two of them will get back together. He has several children, all with other women, and several women, yet he acts as if it's all his own business. It's difficult for the author to slowly develop a happy ending for the male and female leads... Doesn't the female lead find it disgusting?
This is a story about fighting over a public toilet. I haven't read many chapters yet. Perhaps the writing style and plot have some merit, but the more I read, the more nauseating and vomit-inducing the story's premise became! It really made my stomach churn! Sorry, my values clash with yours too much!
I'm utterly speechless... All I saw from beginning to end was utter cowardice. The female lead was constantly being humiliated and still clinging to power... I never saw her retaliate at all! Calling her a saint is an insult to the word! Seriously, after all that treatment from those women, she actually raised their children... She talks about being independent and strong, yet acts like she can't live without a man...
Is it necessary?
This female lead is being way too submissive! Was it really necessary? If she can't be divorced, why not just get a divorce?
I really dislike the premise of raising someone else's child, and then she ends up with a jerk! Oh my god! I'm not going to read any more after seeing the comments!
Great! The female lead turned a bad hand into a winning one! A true master! The male lead truly dotes on the female lead and loves her deeply. Although he has wives, concubines, and children, one can't really ask for more in ancient times... Their interactions are heartwarming, funny, and intense—I really enjoy them!
The first chapter shocked my entire family: a concubine's daughter in a prince's mansion is a lowly woman, a granddaughter of a duke's mansion should be the legitimate wife of a marquis's heir, and two daughters of fourth-rank officials in the capital should be concubines.
It's really impressive that the author managed to whitewash the scumbag male protagonist.
I've followed several of Li Hua's books, and among all the transmigrated heroines, this one is the only one who doesn't rely on any special abilities to turn her life around. How does a weak woman survive? It's worth reading.
