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

This is the continuation for the lists of Gems I have read so far, that will shake up your mind and emotions. I hope you... more>> will enjoy it, as well as I did.  Thank you and good luck. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ <<less

There are revenge and face slapping novels as well as slice of life novels and all kinds so go through these and find your types.... more>>

Novels with strong female leads , funny female leads etc etc.

Some female leads are op[overpowered] okay but I like them too there is nothing wrong with them being op because the novels are really good to read.
Some are strong from the beginning. some of them have character growth from being weak to strong and here strong doesn't necessarily mean physical strength its also their mental strength I am talking about.

Some female leads might be a little bit rude  but those books are entertaining and well done for a one time read And also for once I can read jerk female lead instead of a jerk male lead alright.

If anyone want me to add some books to this category please comment below will add it (✿◡‿◡)(✿◡‿◡)q(≧▽≦q)q(≧▽≦q). <<less

Mostly set in ancient China so expect politics, harem, face slapping, honorifics, you know the drill. Added some with a modern set up only if I can’t find anything that interests me as of the moment.... more>>

If completed via MTL, will rate MTL quality from 1-5. <<less

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<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

my to-be-read list. hopefully this won't be too disorganized

Im a very picky reader and these novels are one of my favs with great plot, character development, characterization with no s*upid ML or FL, accompanied with reasonable ability and way of thinking, and of course the plus points are its great cover, lol.... more>>

Mostly highly rated, >4.0 <<less

A list for whenever I get tired of ever so gentle, proper and harmless FLs.

Here's my recommended list for historical-romance....what I'm highly like in these novels is that the FL is the beauty with brain, the honey-sweet bonding with... more>> FL and ML, they have child ( not all, but mostly and hopefully) and the story is not too abruptly ended ( but, not all are completed ) <<less

Novels I have read

All 4+stars. Most I loved. Some I’d just recommend. Different strokes for different folks and all :)... more>>

Added a few xianxia and xuanhuan themed novels <<less

Random assortment of smutty series that I'm following & enjoying. Both straight & yaoi novels. May have noncon in some!

I’m all for the romance or unique plots. I can’t stand dumb and flat characters.... more>>

a million/5 don’t even read the description, just dive in!

5/5 not unique but characters/plot well written with 0 to minor flaws 

4/5 either characters occasionally acting too s*upid, too slow pace or plot has holes that aren’t consistent, but readable if you’re bored  <<less

Romances I like that take place in the Emperor’s and Prince’s palaces

A few ancient Chinese novels whose heroines I am quite fond of. Mostly calm, smart, and reasonable women who are not overpowered. Most of these webnovels... more>> also have minimal angst. I also have untranslated suggestions in the comments. <<less

Hello!... more>>

This is the second part to ‘A collection of chinese romance novels’ since I have reached 100 stories limit on the first one. 

I will be following the same format and organizing it when I have the time! The novels here will all be decently rated because that usually means it’s worthwhile! Ofc It will be ordered from highest to lowest for ease.

I hope this helps you find the next story without trouble, cheers! :)
