A collection of my favourite boy-girl relationship novels. A huge majority are transmigration novels with strong FMC who finds/meets/picks up a powerful, doting (most of the time rich too) hubby along the way.... more>>

This list will be updated as I read more novels~ <<less

Stories I read and either loved or enjoyed well enough to put on this list.

Books that I like. Both the storytelling, characters, and translations. Some are worth re-reading. 

First thing, don't read these books on an empty stomach; the descriptions and often the food picture given by the translator is sure to send... more>> you to your food ordering apps and lament if you can't order most of the dishes (because you don't stay in China). Anyway, the books here have food as the main ingredient of how the story progresses; some have FL and ML while some are BL. But lusting after food and drooling over dishes is common to all.  <<less

Favorite romances that take place in ancient China, but not in the Emperor’s palace

Beautiful Aroma of Romance makes my mind go wild......

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less

My favorite Random food/cooking related stuff 

This is one of my favorite genre. From modern era to ancient times, I enjoy to see MC's growth over time after struggling to adapt... more>> to a new environment in the beginning. It's not easy to time travel to ancient times where man is dominant and woman is only a tool to satisfy her husband or to bear a child. I love that most of female leads in these novel is clever and strong. They are not easy to yield and they also try so hard to change their fate. <<less
