A few ancient Chinese novels whose heroines I am quite fond of. Mostly calm, smart, and reasonable women who are not overpowered. Most of these webnovels... more>> also have minimal angst. I also have untranslated suggestions in the comments. <<less

This list will NOT include novels with explicit r*pe between MC and ML. Due to their nature, these will not depict healthy relationships. This list also does not include QT.... more>>

These are not "true" yandere ML's as the MC is willing and reciprocates. My personal favorite novels are those where the MC/ML dynamic is mutually obsessive/possessive or where the MC accepts and returns the ML's obsessive love. The top ranked novels on this list will have darker tone because of this .

This list focuses on romance and the couples. List is ranked roughly by my enjoyment of the couple. If a novel is shorter, or still early in translation it will naturally fall later.  <<less

[Read the tags.] <<less

This list contains stories on my reading lists where MC or someone else important in the story was switched at birth or the family replaced real child with a fake one later on. In most of these stories the biological family does not treat MC right. In cases where MC is replaced after birth the real child was usually either lost at young age or had a reason for replace the real child with a fake.... more>>

1. Fluffy Novels with rougly <100 to 200 chapters (no. of raw chapters)

Mostly CN, HE and BG --- no, 1 - 37 are completed

2. Each story has its own characteristics. There are modern day, ancient, transmigration, showbiz, business, rebirth, second chances, cultivation etc.

3. The best part of these novels is that, as they are so short, they have no drags, elaborate schemes, unnecessary plot twists, repeated scenes, lengthy dialogues, too much angst, etc.

4. You can easily MTL it on (MTLNOVEL. .com)  

5. The relationships are respectable with no r*pe, S&M type relationships, gory or other disturbing elements presents 

6. The most attractive elements of these novels is LOVE:  sweet & sour, fluffy romantic love (or) heartwarming 'aww' relationships between family. Some even can be defined as couple goals. Hot, passionate, fiery ,obsessive love that stabilises over time from its initial madness (or) sweet, mature, slow but steady love that's nutured with care, understanding and proper communication.

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less
