Schemes of the Imperial Harem

Ancient-Era Romance With a Highly Intelligent Lead, Preferably Complete

Political intrigue stories where it's not just the protagonist who's smart; the supporting cast should be sharp too.

Any Palace Intrigue Dramas With Smart Characters?

Looking for books like The Wise Don't Fall in Love, So the Empress Goes Around the Bridge.

Palace Intrigue

Palace-intrigue stories where the heroine doesn't love the hero, like The King's Woman. Please recommend some!!!

Palace Intrigue, Pure Palace Intrigue, the Kind That Takes All Your Brainpower

Are there any pure palace-intrigue novels without reborn or transmigrate plots, and without an overpowered protagonist aura? Lately everything has been about transmigration and rebirth, and I’m sick of it.

Pure Palace Intrigue, with a Smart, Clear-Headed Female Lead Who Loves No One

A female lead who's not a self-sacrificing saint.

Not Both Virgins, Happy Ending, Palace and Household Intrigue

Since these are palace- and household-intrigue novels, don't recommend those idiotic stories that force both leads to be chaste only for the sake of it. The female lead should be smart, and preferably like the male lead without loving him.

Looking for Harem-Intrigue Stories Focused on Court Rivalries and Favor. I Don't Mind Whether the Couple Are Each Other's First

I want pure palace intrigue with a plot that fits the historical setting, all that competing for favor and climbing to the top, like "Empresses in the Palace".

Transmigrating Into a Palace-Intrigue Drama

Palace Intrigue and Entering the Palace Through a Selection

Ancient-style romance. Transmigration or not, either is fine. Something that makes you think, where the female lead rises from a low-ranking palace position to a high one. The leads don't have to be each other's first.

Pure Palace Intrigue: The Female Lead Enters the Palace Through the Selection, Loves No One, and the Couple Isn’t Each Other’s First

Give Me an Absolutely Thrilling Power Fantasy, Preferably with a Harem

Dear Treasures, Please Recommend a High-Scoring Gongduzhaidouwen, or Time Travel Through Books.

I want to see the heroine pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or she can entertain herself in a Buddhist-style cold palace and be forced into a palace fight in the end to counterattack and gain the upper hand!

Please Recommend Palace-Intrigue Novels with a Smart, Scheming Heroine Who Enters the Palace Through a Selection

Palace Intrigue with a Smart Female Lead

A smart female lead who isn't a hypocritical goody-two-shoes or a naive sweetheart.

Looking for Stories Where the Heroine Is the Empress, Not the Emperor’s Only Favorite, and Focuses on Her Career Before Becoming Empress Dowager

Looking for books similar to "The Imperial Noble Consort". This kind of story, but the female lead doesn’t need to climb the ranks through palace intrigue.

Palace and Household Intrigue Like The Concubine with Poisonous Schemes (The Princess Wei Young)

Rebirth or transmigration are both fine. I want a domineering heroine who takes revenge, with the male lead quietly supporting her from behind the scenes. At first, he's the heroine's older or younger brother, but it turns out he's actually a prince from another country. The heroine's story should span several different countries.

Looking for Novels Like Xi Hua Zhi, with Great Palace and Household Intrigue

I just finished Cherish the Flowers. The heroine is strong and doesn't have a golden finger. Fellow readers, please recommend something similar. Other great palace-intrigue or modern family-intrigue novels are welcome too, preferably completed ones~

I’m in the Mood for Palace Intrigue! Please Recommend Some!

Any Pure Palace-Intrigue Novels Where the Female Lead Rises Gradually, Has a Clear Role, and Neither Lead Is Chaste?

Are There Any Exceptionally High-Quality Palace-Intrigue Novels?

Palace Intrigue Stories Where the Leads Met Before the Heroine Entered the Palace

The male lead should be a crown prince or emperor.

Super Addictive Historical Palace Intrigue

Ladies, I'm looking for an ancient-setting palace-intrigue novel, but I can't remember the title. In one scene, the emperor kills the heroine's son to secure his throne. Later, the heroine successfully overthrows him, sends the imperial consorts back to their families, and becomes the empress dowager.
