Mixed generations! I've selected these novels based on the reviews, ratings, descriptions and the tags. All my tastes. So I arrange these by their ratings.... more>> And Please note, the list may have changes. I may take out some ongoing if the story line turn into my dislike. <<less

good protagonists, development and expansion of the plot well executed, the romance in many cases is in the background, but it is of quality

Novels that (imo) were/are binge worthy and worthy of re-reading cause they're just THAT good! 

These are straight novels in which the male lead experiences at least half of the story as weak strategist (smart enough to conquer an army,... more>> but doesn't have enough muscle to win in a brawl). Please advise if there are any misses. <<less

MXTX (#1-3), Meatbun(#4-5), and Priest (#6-24) novels!! If you haven't heard of them in the BL community, then welcome you must be new here ! These 3 authors have had at least one of their novels adapted into a drama or donghua recently (or at least it's in the works *cough* HYX *cough*) you can pretty much consider them classics on danmei twt sooo here's the big 3 in BL collection!!! also,,, BUY THE OFFICIAL MXTX ENGLISH BOOKS PREORDERS OUT NOW !!! ... more>>

I'll be ranking them within their sections except for the top 3 once ive finished all of the list ((also also, Priest has BG novels as well, but i didn't include them bc this is a BL list)) 

Some notes on author styles before reading:
MXTX: very complex world building, flashbacks galore, some explicit scenes so pls pls either skip or be 18+, YEARNING

Meatbun: you literally have to be 18+, READ THE WARNINGS if you can't stand them just wait for the HYX drama to come out with a heavily censored version, knives knives knives, tissues are a must, pls i beg of you read the warnings

Priest: has lots of the politics side, not too much romance overall (but more than ppl say), very plot heavy, knives but TYPICALLY happy ending especially in the extras!! <<less

All the novels I've enjoyed reading. Both het and BL, or no romance at all, mostly including books with interesting plot and characters. Most likely,... more>> there will be no noncon, r*pe, or similar questionable stuff.    <<less

Caution: Lots of dark themes so please be careful!!! Extremely mild spoilers as well!!!!!!!
Ranking is decided by how much I cried, not by how good it was because it'll be very hard to decide XD... more>>

The human emotions are depicted so well. They talk a little about the human mind and feelings. Brought me to tears, but they’re so beautiful. Some are lighter, some a little more heavy. The journey to a beautiful romance isn’t easy. Life is complex, and it is bitter and sweet. By the way... the ranking doesn’t really matter. 

I wanted to rank this according to how much I cried, but sorry it doesn't seem to be working XD No worries, it isn't like some sort of dog blood drama. It's just...tragic but with a happy end. It has a lot of sweet, fluffy and funny moments too!!!! in fact, only certain part hurts. Some doesn't hurt as well! In fact,  it was so beautiful and sweet I cried  <<less

Focused on western style politics.

i really love historical chinese novels but only those set in nobility/imperial family, some modern world are nice too Strong female leads and loving male leads ONLY( Not all in my list have this trope though)... more>>

these are just the ones i've read, the top ones are my favorite and the bottom ones I haven't read yet <<less

These ancient Chinese historical stories not only have a satisfying romance (thus far), but they also include plots of politics and other deep topics (such as social commentary). Most* of these also have good/excellent translations and writing! Notes are included to highlight what I like (and don't exactly like) about each title. All of these have female protagonists. Most stories are either completely translated or have regular updates. List is more or less in order of what I like the most and find most fun to read, all the way down to ones that don't entice strong reactions for me but I like them enough to list them.... more>>

*There is at least one title on this list that I have dropped. I have noted it, but still left it as is I liked the first part of the novel well-enough to warrant a place on this list. There are at least two MTL'ed stories on this list as well. <<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.
