BG ancient China novels with female MC that I personally rated 8/10 and above. I sorted this list by the time I read them. They all have happy endings unless stated otherwise. There are a lot more novels I liked over the years, but these are the ones listed in NU. ... more>>

I'm sad that only 17 of them are listed in NU, but I guess ancient China novels are too hard to translate...

*Edit: Added a few notable novels I rated 7/10 at the bottom of the list  <<less

Comment below novels with beautiful moving plot.  <<less

Favorite romances that take place in ancient China, but not in the Emperor’s palace

Keeping track of what I liked/read. Only some I would re-read though 

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

Can't get enough of these dog blood novels.

Historical novels, some Eastern based, some Western based

Some focus on palace/harem intrigue and politics, some just have historical background  <<less
