mostly family-related or harem intrigue, though some include political aspects. You may notice a common thread of tyrannical or otherwise oppressive MLs… tbh I think... more>> the cold type is fun to read about since no one should care about them otherwise. <<less

If you like female MCs that are either reborn or transmigrated to ancient China, schemes and conspiracies, revenge, and marrying into the imperial family this... more>> list is for you.  <<less

this is currently my guilty pleasure lol so imma compile any ones that I have read or am planning to read... more>>

Female lead will usually be some kind of royalty/nobility e.g. princess, empress, empress dowager etc. or they may be someone with high social standing such as daughter of an official.

**warning: a lot of these will usually contain what can be considered r*pe, along with dubious consent and all sorts of violence and abuse. please take care while reading; if you are someone who is easily triggered by these kinds of things, I would advise you to pick another list -hell, another tag since you know historical stuff can be pretty inhumane- to browse through. a lot of these novels are either problematic or deal with serious and heavy issues. stay safe all everyone.** <<less

All the reads I enjoyed. (Only the novels I enjoyed reading are included)... more>>

Still incomplete list cos I forgot the title of some of the stuff I read. This is the result so far after going through memory lane of all the novels I read, filtering the terrible ones.

Mostly BG

And worry-not, characters are actually pretty decent with a great or at least acceptable setting and plot. <<less

Yeah inertial Harem is indeed a place with plenty drama. But I don't like too many schemes or our mc being too long winded that will drag a Arc to hundreds and hundreds of chapters it's too gross.... more>>

But here are the gems. <<less

 - Ancient / Historical Times Setting - ... more>>

1) Inside the Palace disputes. Court palace schemes, political plots, war or Imperial harem drama

2) Nobles, Outside the Palace

3) Living life as a commoner away from palace drama (Artisan, Farming, Merchant.. etc)

This list is a collection of novels I'd like to read. I weighed on the ratings and read the comments before deciding, so hopefully this... more>> will also be of help to you. I'm primarily interested in Ancient China setting, with wonderful FLs and MLs, will include harem struggle, cultivation, romance or adventure, plus transmigration/rebirth stories. <<less

these are just novels that i love so much that i know i will enjoy reading again. mostly because they have elements i really enjoy. ... more>>

tropes i like: 

♡ cunning protagonists that are calm and smart when they encounter a problem

♡ groveling men that actually gets hold acountable for their past actions and not just get brushed over 

♡ well written female relationships, i don't mind if they have a complicated relationship with each other but it must be written in a way that's organic and not just bc they like the same man 

♡ slow burn but the kind that knows when to stop dragging it out

♡ doting family, i love that stuff. it gives me life reading fluffy family moments

♡ male leads that complement perfectly with the female lead. they don't have to be perfect but they just have to be good for each other <<less

Have some random isekai reads~
