Historical/ancient setting danmei - rating 4+

Chinese BL set in ancient times, whether an alternate history on Earth or in a different world. These can be fantasy, mystery/case solving, xuanhuan, xianxia, wuxia, mpreg, ger, or just ordinary historical. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Sorted in order of writing quality/personal preference. Many of the stories listed are geared towards drama, but there are a few included that are more lighthearted romance. Note: many of these have official English versions (sold in a series of volumes usually), hope that everyone can help support the official publications!
