Historical, wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan, palace intrigue, orcs, etc... more>>

P. S. Not in order <<less

As someone who likes to read novels where the man is older than the woman, I present to you an age gap novel list... more>>

I will add more novels to the list once I find out the age gap between the main characters lol

P.S I will only add novels that I have already read, so it will take time to fill in the list <<less

this list is not sorted in any way.

This list mainly regroupe novels about FL with strong caracter, smart brain and an independent personality that doesn't need the ML to save her or solve her problems at every turn. In some of this novels you might also find ones were the FL help/protect the ML or his family.... more>>

PS: If you more recommendations then Please leave them in the comments section. Thank you ! <<less

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

I've only added the novels which I have read. <<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

BG ancient China novels with female MC that I personally rated 8/10 and above. I sorted this list by the time I read them. They all have happy endings unless stated otherwise. There are a lot more novels I liked over the years, but these are the ones listed in NU. ... more>>

I'm sad that only 17 of them are listed in NU, but I guess ancient China novels are too hard to translate...

*Edit: Added a few notable novels I rated 7/10 at the bottom of the list  <<less

Female Protaganist, mix of modern and historical. Only CN novels.
These are the list of Novels that I have read/currently reading. + my thoughts and perhaps ratings will be included.... more>>

All novels here are easy to MTL!  <<less

Subjective list of my favorite Chinese historical and/or wuxia novels!... more>>

I tend to like strong but not overpowered FLs, slow romances, angst before HEs, and good plot beyond just the romance. <<less

BG romance, No-sad-ending club :D... more>>

I mostly included stories that the translations are either completed or half-finished (so it's easier for you to mtled it), this list contains romance stories that'll entertain you, I finished all of the stories whether by MTL-ing or reading a proper translation, so if you want to ask me some questions, I'll always welcome it. HAPPY READING FAMSS <<less

novel i finished reading and loved it, sometimes i'll reread it again and again. mostly happy ending (my life already not easy so there's no... more>> need to add angst)  ^^
FYI, for some uncomplete translated novel, i read it via MTL. just copy paste the chineese title on google than add shubaow or imiaobige in it <<less

 This list is a continuation of the Not-so-Popular novels (Desires of the Heart 1 & 3 ). I'll keep adding novels from time to time.... more>> Follow and keep updated. Also please check my other list of ( Popular Novels for Newbies ) in my profile. Very much appreciated. <<less

Villainess books that I would 100% recommend to those who like the genre! My criteria is that they were either transmigrated into a villainess body, once a villainess or act villainess-y. Rankings don't matter, but I try to put the lesser knowns above. Enjoy and I hope this list helps!!... more>>

*If novels are not getting updated, I will drop it. Exceptions are made only because I enjoyed reading it a lot <<less

Palace intrigues, political troubles and wars don't stop these people from falling in love. Kudos!... more>>

[chinese novels] <<less

Novels that have made a big impact on me. Novels that I still keep thinking about. Hope you enjoy them!... more>>

Also,  I considered these as gems because of:

Solid plot | Incredible world building | Character growth (MCs and also side characters) | Beautifully written  (rhetorics and narratives)| Touches on morality and complex human emotions <<less

Some of these have nice, good plot but some may not have that deep of a plot ^-^. Still enjoyable all the same. The important thing is enjoyment! Listed in no particular order~... more>>

Ongoing translations for stories. Waiting for the translations to be done before I read. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. I also like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. Also, I love being able to scroll through and seeing immediately which ones have been completed since I last checked the translations. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations.Not... more>> in any particular order. Recommendations are very welcome!

*I didn't realise how long this list got so I have put the Completed to read novels into another list if anyone wants to check it out, To Read Novels That Are Completely Translated <<less

This list has novels that focuses on political intrigue regarding throne ascension, harem intrigue with tons of drama.... more>>

Forego your modern sensibilities to truly enjoy some stories from this era otherwise the sexism, underage-ness of things will just enrage you. Not all of them are like that, but there are some novels that try to immerse themselves in that situation. <<less
