I'm not super picky and I've read a good number so I'll drop those below for ideas but I'd really like something readable (sometimes I can't handle terrible grammar and drop something - anyone who's translating something good! if you need an editor! hit me up!!), something with a good number of chapters out so I can binge (but new stuff is good too...just get me addicted to something, lol.), and I'd kind of like to avoid the poison/assassin lady from modern world/genius modern doctor/cultivation-jianghu genres....try as I might I can only get into those in webtoon format. Thanks so much for any recs you might have! Novels I've read/reading: Bone Painting Coroner Chu Wang Fei Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (kinda...I'm trying.) Feng Yin Tian Xia Mei Gongqing Return of the Swallow The Cry of the Phoenix Which Reached the Ninth Heaven (hiatus for now but might drop.) The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir (honestly my fav) The Princess Wei Yang (love. don't even mention the scandal.) The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage Fields of Gold Transmigration: Of Mysteries and Songs Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator To Be A Virtuous Wife (i cried with the special chapter. eternal spot in my kokoro.) Doomed to be Cannon Fodder Chongfei Manual
Poison Genius Consort (really well developed secondary characters) https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-good-for-nothing-seventh-young-lady/ https://www.novelupdates.com/series/genius-doctor-black-belly-miss/ Edit, sorry I might have got confused about whether you want similar stuff or not, but these 3 are good josei genre...
BL genre has stories with plot, eg: Quickly wear the Face Of the Devil Reborn into a hamster for 233 days Back to the Apocalypse And BL genre has works which concentrate on smut rather than plot. I suggest you look for stories with plot first.
aaaaah Assassin Farmer sounds so cuuuute _(┐「 ε_♡ and I forgot all about your first rec~ always meant to read it so I'll totes get to it now! thanks a ton! (´▽`ʃƪ )♡
Another innocent victim falls into our clutches! Lemme see, lemme see... The Founder of Diabolism Pulling Together a Villain Reformation Strategy I Have Medicine Let Me Tease You I’m Not Shouldering This Blame Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin My Five Elements Lack You The Earth is Online The Big Landlord Spring Trees and Sunset Clouds King of Classical Music Death Progress Bar (I translate this one so I'm a bit biased but it's good) A few of BL novels I enjoyed - not in any particular order, and not all historical.
ooooh~ nice recs! I'm reading mo dao zu shi in webtoon already so I'll totes check the novel. Wonder if there are any big differences, lol. Death Progress Bar sounds good, too~ ( ื▿ ืʃƪ) Tyty♡

I binged Eight Treasures Trousseau. That was amazing. Legit giving me such good feels~ The type that keeps me addicted to this genre. Thanks a ton for reccing that! I probably wouldn't have gotten to it for a looooong time and would have seriously regretted~
