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

Romance that gratify my soul. They are super sweet novels that give me a dopamine rush. Novels that make you crave for that kind of love. In addition to underrated gems, I have tried to include various fluffy, BG novels of different genres. Enjoy!! :)... more>>

A list of top Chinese BG web novel series featuring a mixture of genres that I’ve compiled for the purpose of conveniently browsing TLs of BG [Shoujo/Josei] Novels on NU ♪( ´▽｀)  ... more>>

P.S: No guarantees that each series will have good plot or romance cuz I haven’t read through the majority of them, they are listed according to the rankings provided on the popular Chinese web novel serialization platform, JJWXC (original publisher). It’s a decent list to browse through if you are looking for the next BG novel to add to your TBR or are just interested in exploring this genre in general.

Happy Reading (￣∇￣)/ ❤️ <<less

A list of some novels that I MTL-ed very easily, with minimal issues ... more>>

Most mistakes are the usual messed up gender pronouns and sentence structure  <<less

For personal reference/rereading. Mostly plot focus & serious favs, with solid writing/characterisations/overarching plot. Any pairings (mostly bl/het), but not many harem/stallion novels. Mostly CN/KR novels for dialogue. Roughly sorted, many genres, no/low spoilers.... more>>

I prefer wuxia over xianxia, tragedy over fluff, etc. Some less serious/non-plot-focused novels included/marked for their definitive traits.
Personal genre/trait favs: comedy, tragedy, historical, mystery, psychological, scifi, realistic, mature, bittersweet, wuxia, delinquents, strategies/war, empire building, betrayal, food.   <<less

MUST-READ novels. ... more>>

They're timeless and worth rereading. <<less

Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less

2nd List -- Stories that are interesting enough to be read and reread~ Some are fully translated, some are still work-in-progress--- Nice writing by authors/translators..
