Historical romance set in ancient China. (Boy x Girl)... more>>

Known BE removed. I tried to put the most recent completed first. But it isn't in any particular order, for the ones at the end. Just the order I found it. <<less

I admit I like a bit of angst in my novels…but I do like happy endings and redemption stories. ... more>>

So here is a collection of nicely written second chance BG romance (mostly through rebirth but could also be transmigration or misunderstanding). Both historical and modern.

Higher rating goes to novels where there’s a sufficient amount of groveling. On the ML part obviously.

Rating given out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️ <<less

Novels I find enjoyable to read.... more>>

(Any incomplete read in the list are novels that are not translated completely yet. They may be subject to be removed from the list as I read the novel.) <<less

Try some of the stories i've read so far..some novels were not that popular, give it a try.i will  add more novels and keep it... more>> updated. Follow and check out my other list of (Popular Novels for Newbies) & (Desires of the Heart part 2 & 3 ) as well in my profile,thanks. <<less

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

This is my list of awesome ancient time aka historical novels. The list will mainly have: female protagonist (highly likely transmigrated/reborn) + black belliness (or maybe not) +... more>> cold-and-ridiculously-beautiful male leads and schemes from heaven to hell. There are NO male protagonist included nor are there Yuri romance here. Feel free to comment any novels you recommend (complete or on going is fine). Follow for more updates! Enjoy!

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

got addicted to it so here are the novels i collected ^_____^

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.
