My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels which I've finished or I am currently reading part 2 >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with... more>> a rating above 4.0~ <<less

these are just novels that i love so much that i know i will enjoy reading again. mostly because they have elements i really enjoy. ... more>>

tropes i like: 

♡ cunning protagonists that are calm and smart when they encounter a problem

♡ groveling men that actually gets hold acountable for their past actions and not just get brushed over 

♡ well written female relationships, i don't mind if they have a complicated relationship with each other but it must be written in a way that's organic and not just bc they like the same man 

♡ slow burn but the kind that knows when to stop dragging it out

♡ doting family, i love that stuff. it gives me life reading fluffy family moments

♡ male leads that complement perfectly with the female lead. they don't have to be perfect but they just have to be good for each other <<less
