I am looking for books like Like Pearl and Jade, To Be A Virtuous Wife, Eight Treasures Trousseau, Ninth Uncle. I don't mind harem as long as it's HE and ML is faithful by the end of the book. Or any ancient china book that has to do with fighting for the throne. I've read Peerless, Nirvana In Fire and the other classics. Thank you in advance.
If u dont mind BL, Those years in Quest of Honor mine. One of the best fighting for throne books I've read. Also, Rich and Powerful Changan (U'll have to google it, the links on NU are broken, but it is still up on other sites). It has one of the best BL relationships I've read in a chinese fics. The Prince ML actually knows how to open his mouth and communicate like an adult, and MC doesn't really dwell on unnecessary things. There is no harem (though ML does have other wives, it's not explicitly said but ML is deffo gay. Like even the idea of having sex with a woman is enough to freak him out, and even though he is forced into marriage with a man to break his succession, he is very NOT unhappy about it. Like, he is so NOT unhappy, that even the king and the consorts who plotted it are worried. It is mpreg towards the end, but also pretty refreshing in the regard that MC is a self-taught doctor and understandably freaked that he is pregnant.
Idk if this list would help you but imma drop it https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/38512/ Hope you find something nice ✨
Well if you liked Ninth Uncle, you can read the author's other works like The Imperial Guard’s Revenge I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law I've also liked some other Ancient China politics that are completed Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid The Yandere Came During the Night The Job of an Imperial Concubine Who Cares These are still ongoing Scheme of the Official Descendant (My personal favorite, there are only a few chapters translated, but the spoilers page is already written) A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City (It's really hilarious) Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf Legend of Concubine’s Daughter Minglan Mountain and River Pillow The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending I Am This Type of Woman Marriage of the Di Daughter Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight Delicate Flower
Seeking Happiness Transmigrating into the Female Supporting Character with a Good Life in a Laid-Back Novel A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage Husband, Be A Gentleman Delicate Flower I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang Rebirth of a Star General Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
Thank you. I'm still reading it Highly appreciate this Thank you. I adore BL but I'm not a huge mpreg fan Thank you. So grateful Thank you soooo much
Not quite sure, but if you don't mind JPN ones, then maybe: Colorcloud Palace/Saiunkoku Monogatari (IDK for the novel's status, I've only watched it's anime ver) Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace
步步生莲 Normally I'd recommend something like "Bu Bu Jing Xin", but it's a tragedy and it's one of the sadder stories out there. This book is more about broader themes than just political intrigue, but there's plenty of the latter as well. It's also a huge joy to read moment to moment as the characters and the way they play off of one another is endlessly fascinating. This is just a great book all around, but you'll have to read it in Chinese - I imagine that any attempts at MTL will end up more unreadable than usual.
Thank you. I don't read much japanese novels but I'll give these a try. Tragedy?! Nah! I can't handle those. I'd be going through my day and having thoughts on how sad these characters lives are. The book being well written doesn't matter. I'd rather not read a well-written book that has it's fair shares of joys but is a BE. I'm too fragile for that. Thank you for the rec tho.
