Best Historical Chinese Novels I've read or currently reading. I am a sucker for transmigration, politics, warfare, palace intrigue,  romance, and redemption novels.

Includes harem fights, scheming concubines, power-grabs, betrayal, and more. BG, Completed

These are the stories well Specifically Chinese Novels that I did not enjoy or wasn't really my cup of tea

I'm curious which stories would be what to other people. -w-

The order is just how I stumbled upon them and not best to worst. All tags don't apply for all series, they're just a general idea of what they might be about. <<less

I am open to suggestions, but just because the FL has red hair is not enough. She has to have the strong and determined personality. It doesn't have to be a reincarnation story, though all the one I've added so far are. <<less

( please note : you must dumb down a lot of your morals for these. Even though none of these will be too disturbing, each one them definitely does touch the morally grey area few times.

includes BL and BG ( and one GL)

( will be BG unless stated otherwise !

Most of them are complete , others are relatively easy to MTL. 

Arranged in no particular order ! <<less
