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

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

Latest moves:

5 OUT OF 5!!!  <<less

Novels I have read

this list will have transmigrations, reincarnations, possession, time-travel, second/third/multiple lives, regression---just anything of that sort<3... more>>

Tbh practically everything I read is reincarnation or something of that sort, so this is practically, probably, everything I read in no specific order cuz im too lazy for that

Also, don't base if ur gonna read the novels or not on my short comments, cuz im 100% biased, somehow always like the second lead :,) , have a short attention-span, and my brain immediately filters bad translation into understandable translation cuz I've probably read worse.

[biased-positive] = im very biased cuz i like smth abt this that makes me blind to any other possible errors, so dont trust my ranting

[biased-negative] = im very biased cuz i preference-wise HATE smth abt this that makes me blind to any other possible good features, so dont trust my ranting <<less

These are my collection of mind-blowing novels that I really recommend everyone to read. Every novel placed here means I feel they deserve to be Top... more>> 1. I’ve read hundreds of novels (completely read) but only a few deserve their place here. I will not be rating them on a scale as placing them in this list is after filtering out all the hundreds of novels I have read to find those that cannot be forgotten.  <<less

All transmigration, rebirth, reincarnation stories that I read despite dubious reviews, and loved to bits! All based in ancient china times!... more>>

Enjoy! <<less

No description.

Both BL and BG (will say which it is) The novels that I actually read from beginning to finish and didn't end up skipping through. (I don't have much patience so if a story gets a little boring I'll start skipping through and then won't save it so these are the ones that I didn't end up skipping through) They are all HE because I can't deal with BE and for the most part their endings are satisfying with no super big loose ends that don't get tied up. ... more>>

The novels aren't in any particular order - (the beginning is just alphabetically backwards from the ones I've saved and then the later ones are just in order of when I read them)

I'm slowly going through the lists and adding my thoughts on the novels.... emphasis on slowwwllyyyy <<less

My personal ratings

5 - I really love this novel. Will read this again again.

4 - I really like this novel. Will read this again.

3 - this is a nice novel. I liked it. I might read this again.

2 - this novel was okay, but I wouldn't want to read it again. Usually I find these rather boring, or at least not interesting enough to check out again.

1 - I didn't like this novel. <<less

It includes an eclectic group of novels from all genres - a collection of my absolute complete favs in one spot. This list is more for... more>> me than anyone else. I guess if you're anything like me (20s, F, avid procrastinator), you'll fall in love with this list! These are the novels I'll save in a hard disk to keep me company in a post-apocalyptic world. <<less

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

These are my favorite books. They are well written with plots that kept my interest no matter how long. I appreciate both the MC and... more>> the ML for their different personalities. They didn't annoy me like in other novels. I thought the plots had special new twists that I had not read before.  <<less
