I will also mention some dramas that are upcoming or yet to be broadcasted those would be specified too.

Every drama mentioned here has been subbed in English.

To know the legal sites to watch these dramas I will be mentioning which all are available on YouTube(most dramas are available to watch for free only Iqiyi dramas need VIP to watch the rest of the episodes ) mostly it will be Iqiyi , Youku , Tencent (WeTv) , Mango channel , Hunan TV (all these channels are there on YouTube )otherwise some of them are available in Viki or Netflix to know alternative legal streaming sites please check My drama list .  com

pls comment if you have any to add! (i am a bit picky) mc's beauty should not just be mentioned but also be a driving force behind some of the plot and story, ideally with a minor focus on tragedy (how can the earth shatter without tragedy? with beauty there is conflict) <<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

Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less

I watch the drama or want to watch the drama and eager to know. I like straight romance

a collection of a rebirth-revenge trope novel with good female lead in ancient chinese settings.

Every story that I've already read will be deleted from this list and moved to either the 'just okay/dropped' or 'so good' list

A list of top Chinese BG web novel series featuring a mixture of genres that I’ve compiled for the purpose of conveniently browsing TLs of BG [Shoujo/Josei] Novels on NU ♪( ´▽｀)  ... more>>

P.S: No guarantees that each series will have good plot or romance cuz I haven’t read through the majority of them, they are listed according to the rankings provided on the popular Chinese web novel serialization platform, JJWXC (original publisher). It’s a decent list to browse through if you are looking for the next BG novel to add to your TBR or are just interested in exploring this genre in general.

Happy Reading (￣∇￣)/ ❤️ <<less

I have over 100 novels marked TBR. I recognise I have a problem

Only novels I actually loved and have re-read (or I’m planning to re-read). I also included xianxia here!... more>>

They are all Chinese novels and the romance is BG, there are a lot of rebirth/transmigration novels. No instant love here!

The female leads in all these novels is quite badass but not OP. They are smart and can be more or less scheming but they are all resilient in the face of adversities. 

⭐️ Since the novels here are already a selection of all the ones I’ve read, I’m giving a star to the absolute top 3! <<less

Awaiting novels for reading
