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

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

( most are well known and some are low rated, as usual i pick them based on the cover and title. )

I've already read them all

Some good ancient china romances that I've read (Rating: 4.0/5.0 or above)

A list of my favorite novels! 

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

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
