Great Female-Oriented Reads: Female Leads, Mostly Romance, Occasionally No CP
Books I like, with a jumble of styles and settings. I'll add whatever catches my fancy, so I'm too lazy to sort them ˞͛ʕ̡̢̡,,Ծ‸Ծ,, ʔ̢̡̢˞͛ If you're in a reading slump, have a look around~~ I actually like lots of books, but somehow I always end up falling into a deep pit _(:з)∠)_ Writing recommendations is so hard QAQ Sorry, everyone, but this list is only for female-oriented novels, and only original works!!!

✔" A Pot of Wine, A Toast by the Waterside~✘✔
Historical romances with a slow build and a one-to-one pairing. The heroine isn't a naive sweetheart or a self-sacrificing saint, and I like a gentle, steady romance

Why make such a perfect female lead a second wife? And why is there a stepson? The rest of the plot was great; I could have read the whole book from beginning to end. But when I got to the parts describing the male lead's relationship with his first wife and their child, I just couldn't continue. It felt like I had a lump in my throat, so I skipped through the chapters and barely finished it.
I quite liked the beginning; I thought it would be a refreshing change in historical romance novels, but it turns out it's still about rebirth. Also, I saw some readers say the male lead is Yun's cousin, and a second wife at that. I can't accept that; I'd rather he hadn't married the Huang family girl in the first place.
How to describe this book? After reading over 300 chapters, I find it hard to accept that such an outstanding and beautiful female protagonist ends up as Chen Houyun's second wife and the mother of another man's child. The plot is illogical. Can you believe that Chen Houyun, for his own selfish reasons, instigated the imperial power, disregarded the interests of the Chen and Shen families, and manipulated the imperial power at will?
I don't know if this book is an original copy; I came here after finishing "Second Spring." I was so disappointed; even several names were misspelled repeatedly.
Why isn't the male lead Qin Gongzi? I initially learned about Deng and Qin from the novel, but it turns out to be Cousin Chen? I really liked Qin!
Haven't read the comments yet 😭
With only forty reviews, it seems like it's not a good book; there aren't even any critical comments.
It started strong but ended weakly, perhaps because the author felt there weren't enough subscribers and followers. Also, there are many typos and frequently wrong names. Overall, the plot is still quite good.
I quite liked this book at first, but then I saw the female lead...
I quite liked this book at first, but when I read that the female lead's cousin, Yun, started plotting against her and becoming the male lead only three months after his wife died and their son was left behind, I dropped the book.
