Reading list so I won't forget & Definitely recommended novels to read

- HEs only bc I dislike crying my eyes out for a novel only for it to be a BE.

- Some novels may contain angst so beware.

- Most FLs in my list are either strong emotionally, mentally, and/or physically which I am rooting for.

- Don't expect all the MLs in my list as green flags.

- Mix of modern and ancient times/historical novels.

- Mix of completed and on-going translated novels.

- Only c-novels.

- Do not have a ranking.

- Long reviews ahead.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

- Views, opinions, principles, and values of the characters and authors in my list do not completely reflect mine.

My no. 1 on the list bc this novel would always have a special place in my heart. If I'm not mistaken, this was my first historical novel and it definitely became my standard too whenever I read this type of genre. This was a classic and a must read historical novel esp for new readers who are interested in this type of novel setting.... more>>

After reading Rebirth of Malicious Empress, I've struggled finding that kind of satisfying rebirth-revenge genre to the point I countlessly re-read it bc I can't find a novel of its match. Not until I've unexpectedly found this novel. They are same but different. Some scenes from this novel reminds me of RME but overall this was a completely different novel which focuses more on aristocratic families.... more>>

- Another rebirth FL.

- A girl who have a lot of regrets.

- A smart schemer too, but not all the things she do goes her way. Afterall, bc of how she was in her past life, there were some things she missed.

- Not your typical cold hearted guy.

- I can confidently label him as one of the green flag ML I have read so far.

- A sickly man but he's healthy when it comes to the matter of *cough*

- A very supportive ML, respected every decisions of the FL, and letting her be independent on doing her own things while not forgetting to remind her that's he's just there by her side whenever he's needed. And he's a man who knows what he wants and would plan and take an action in advance just to achieve it.

• About the novel •

- Focuses more on aristocratic families and how the generational hate and revenge can affect the younger generations.

- The chemistry of the FL and ML is undeniable. It started off slow but eventually blossomed. I love their sneaky and secret meet ups and how their casual interactions slowly turned into something more intimate.

- I love the ML and FL's families, they are one of the best I've ever read in historical novels. The ML's sister is the GOAT! He's lucky he has his sister as a cover up to meet the FL lol. And FL and ML's sister friendship are also adorable!

- The side characters are not just there to be the main leads backdrop, they have their own personalities and are not just flat characters. I love some of the side characters' character development. I dislike some of them at the start and could be labeled as 'antagonists' but when you really read through them, you'll realize that they have their own issues and reasons too (though not all are justifiable) and how I love that they learned from it and slowly changed. They are the gray characters.

- I have a love and hate relationship for the second male leads. There are some things I dislike abt them and their actions but I can't help but pity them bc of how their families controlled them and how their families' selfishness have affected them.

- I love the side couples too that I can't help but root for them, esp the ML's sister and her longtime love. I'm glad the ending for the both of them this time have changed.

- Overall, a must read! Don't be scared of the number of chapters, you won't noticed it passed by just like that. Also, glad that someone already pick up the novel and continue the translation. The novel's a gem to be hidden. I will surely re-read it again after the translation's done. <<less
