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

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
