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

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

Novels set in ancient China (or resembling it), featuring female protagonists that I like for being strong in their own ways.

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Last three newly added: #9 | Don’t Touch Porcelain, #22 | Unconscious, #14 | I Am Average and Unremarkable

No. 1 - No. 32 | Incomplete Translations

No. 33+ | Complete Translations

Not in any particular order except for whether they’re complete or not. 

A huge thank you to all the translators who translated these gems and gave me the opportunity to enjoy them <<less

Here's is my highly recommend list with lots a love from daddy

Novels with female leads who transmigrated or reincarnated. The female leads are rational, not to OP, not too revengeful but still get the justice they... more>> deserved. They are also business minded. They do not try to change the world (inventing too many stuff) but at least change their fate. Villains are not intentionally made s*upid to make the FL look smart. <<less
