This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

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

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

Gems and treasures found in Novelupdates!! Stories that you'll never be forgotten. Like a sculpture, carve by the authors amazing minds.

A list created for torturing myself through reading sad/tragic Chinese novels.

Historical Novel I have read

A mix of well-writen, enjoyable, or guilty pleasure stories in historical settings. Mostly imperial palace and xuanhuan. There may be minor spoilers in my comments.

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

Yandere: A Japanese term for a person who is initially very cheerful, kind, loving, caring, and gentle to someone (or at least innocent) they really, truly like and care about a lot until, their purely intense romantic love, admiration, and devotion become feisty, stubborn, bossy, and mentally destructive in nature, usually, but not always through either overprotectiveness, violence, brutality, or all three. (Wikipedia)... more>>

Stories on this list will contain varying levels of yandere MLs (some much less "psychotic") than others.  <<less

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less
