My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<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
