Novels put on the back-burner or simply dropped. 

Lots of groveling and pain from previous-life/current ML because we love to see it. Sorted roughly from most groveling to least.

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

Fluffy romance, BL and BG? Cool. Silly satire? Love it. Foodie p*rn? Give it to me, daddy. Sweet, sweet face-slapping? Smack that b**** up. 2nd... more>> time around? No regrets. Body-snatching? Only the industrious need apply. Semi-historical dog-blood nonsense? Right this way, Mary Sue. Is there anything you won't read? DBZ enlightenment grinding to godhood. Ultimately unsatisfying. Relationship grinding is okay though. What can I tell you? Love triangles are a no-go. <<less

The best of the best historical josei/shoujo novels I've read. Ones that have really stuck with me~

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

One of the requirements for a good novel to me is a strong female lead. These novels have my favorite fl, who are admirable in their own way. Arranged in no particular order. ... more>>

WARNING: This list is just of the female leads only and in no way reflects the review of novel as a whole. So, I can guarantee you the novels in the list have promising fl but for other criterias please refer to the reviews. <<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.
