A realistic novel set in ancient China 

Most novels follow a particular trope and its not hard to guess how things would end. But the execution and writing style of these tropes... more>> determine if the novel will be a hit or a flop. <<less

Curated list by yours truly. All genres, something for everyone. (A lot of Ancient China BG included).... more>>

Recommended novels not on NU- see comments. 

I’ll add comments/reviews for every one of them, but it’ll take me quite a while to get to all of them. 

NOTE: Moving all short stories/oneshots to Rec List “Small Stories, Big Feels” (like check it out, so many gems are like 30-40 chapters only, and their chapters are mostly long) <<less

Empresses in the Palace vibes + strong female lead who is either a concubine, noble consort, or empress... more>>

There are NO idiot/dumb/naive/innocent FLs in this list. Some FLs are kind, but most are ruthless. Emperor ML is not her prince charming & I prefer it that way. 

Palace intrigue & harem struggle between the concubines is the spotlight of most of these novels. However, the true hidden gem is the complex female relationships among the concubines/consorts, especially those who are deeply aware that the harem is their gilded cage ^^

Note: This is MY list. This means that just because a certain novel fits this niche, it won’t automatically be here. I don’t like wasting my time and other people’s. The novels here are my personal favorites and trusted recommendations. 

TBR means I can’t vouch for the novel yet. It’s labeled and found at the bottom of this list, which means that the synopsis was either really interesting or simply caught my eye . Since it’s a TBR, I don’t have an opinion on it yet and depending on the my reading experience, I may or may not remove it from this list. <<less

As the title said...... more>>

I only read HE so no tragedy, also they are completed novels
