There is another Sci-fi novel that isn't in NU but it's really awesome and easy to understand to mtl. The setting is futuristic - ABO/Omegaverse. It's a straight couple (kinda rare in ABO universe). The plot are great and both leads are equal + with a dash of comedy which makes the story more fun to read. Only 90 chapters. 

The name is "Female A Survival Manual" <<less

PS: I'm an avid reader of HR novels but my initial list of favorites was getting too long so I simply divided it in 2. There's one list for the well-known classics & one for the upcoming shakers.  This here is obviously the latter. On that note, happy reading :)

Rating:   ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for             ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                     ❤️ Enjoyable

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

Novels I have read

novels that i truly liked and can re-read many times.

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

Hello there, thanks for coming over! ... more>>

Here's the continuation of the previous list. Which is the one that I forgotten to add and the newest novel that I've found during rolling around. Happy reading!!! <<less

- Some of the novel are so light... That i read for entertainment only—still in my opinion the stories are good and enjoyable. ... more>>

- Yet some of them are gems... So good. So beautifully written that left me with deep impression.

- Contain historical and modern setting!

 ***** = the gems. <<less

Novels that I can’t seem to get over because they are so good

No harem.

List of novels in my To Read list. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I... more>> will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

Just go and read these. I can guarantee you, you will at least enjoy these.

Mostly BG romance with smart FL and ML. I have read lots of books , but these are the ones I would go back to reread in the future and recommend to anyone. I love complicated plots, dark romance, tortured love with some angst. I lean more towards historical for now till I find a good enough modern to add to this list. Plots may contain uncomfortable scenarios but each book is worth the read. ... more>>

Interesting plots, good writing and smooth translations are very important to me.  <<less
