Romantic Historical Chinese Novels probably with a black belly male lead ; )
A list of romance novels set in ancient China that I managed to finish and like. It will be a mix of black belly, salted fish and hopefully some good hearted characters.
ps. I will try to mostly add completed novels.
pps. Please let my know in the comments if you have suggestions to add to this book list. Thanks : )
( I haven't numbered these stories by preference)

Fun novel with a laid back pace. It doesn't really have angst between the leads, it's a sweet romance.

Hi, thanks for looking at this list.
Please let me know if you have a suggestion or just have something to share about the novels. I would love if this could be an interactive project.
Thanks,

Hi!
You have most of my favorites here. I absolutely LOVE Grabbing Your Hand and Dragging you Away!
Apothecary Diaries has a similar heroine
Feng Xin is also good! The heroine reminds me of My Darling Coax Me
Also, Refuse to Serve Me Then off with your head!
@Fancian
Thanks for responding. I am looking forward to reading your suggestions.
A year or more ago I read all the released manga of Apothecary Diaries but I haven't tried the novel yet. (Thanks for reminding me of it!)
Thank you for contributing your ideas. If you read something good in the future please let me know.
