- 10 The Virtuous Empress of the Flourishing Tang 盛唐贤后 With a historian’s touch and perspective, this story vividly brings to life the remarkable life of Empress Changsun, the virtuous consort of the Great Tang. (Note: No transmigration, no rebirth, and a serious historical drama. Given the author’s limited abilities, it’s hard to say how this story will turn out. I can only do my best and give it a try.) 0Votes14kRecs3.2kFans

Great Completed Historical Romance Novels, Part 1
This list is for completed historical romance novels only. It features works by Lin Jiacheng, Xunzhao Shiluode Aiqing, Ye Huimei, Han Wuji, Qing Tong Sui, Wei You, and Xi Xing. Some people have said this is just a collection of works by famous authors. Well, you could say that, except these just happen to be a few authors I like, and I enjoy most of their stories. I also think sorting them by author makes the list more organized. What can I say? I'm helpless here!!!
