Wuxia, Court Politics, Scheming, and Alternate History
Traditional wuxia stories where the male lead is powerful and influential, has a hidden faction, roams the martial world, and falls into a love-hate relationship with the female lead.
The Best Wuxia Novels
Please recommend something where the protagonist is the world's greatest martial artist, lives in seclusion, and runs an inn or something.
Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters
Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.
Looking for Great Historical Novels Worthy of Classic Status
Folklore, Supernatural Tales, and Ghost Stories: A Ruthless, Reckless, Profit-Minded Protagonist
Looking for stories about folk customs and ghosts. No holier-than-thou heroines, no female lead with no CP, and no female lead at all, please! Some development involving redemption would be nice. The protagonist should be ruthless and decisive, caring only about his own interests. But deep down, he's not really like that. There needs to be a reason why.
The Protagonist Is a Monk
Transmigration, historical Chinese style, wuxia. The protagonist is aloof and handsome, devoted to Buddhism, but the mortal world keeps coming to him. Still, his faith remains steadfast. No Journey to the West recommendations.
Any Supernatural Novels That Focus on the Plot, with Romance as a Side Story?
I want to read something similar to The Language of the Three Corpses. No System, please. The main focus should be on being frightening. The protagonist can be weak at first, but they cannot be stupid.

Yue Guan's books are always reliable! I've read "Back to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince" three times...
This book is simply amazing! The first half is even more interesting and fantastical, while the second half is a thrilling power drama. The author has a truly imaginative mind and brilliant writing; I admit I couldn't help but squeal like a pig several times.
Well, I've been waiting for Yang Han to go find Bai Su. That naive and sweet beauty has been single for five hundred years!
Uncle Guan's books are indeed unique. This one focuses on a tender love story, with the beginning featuring detective and supernatural elements, and the latter focusing on a power struggle. These two different storylines, though distinct, don't feel disjointed. Uncle Guan's books are truly well-written! 🥰🥰
Anything by Yue Guan is guaranteed to be a masterpiece! 👍 I love reading Brother Guan's books. Those charming yet not vulgar male protagonists, those graceful, elegant, beautiful, and uniquely charming female protagonists—they fulfill all our fantasies! Thumbs up!
The name Yue Guan is a guarantee of quality. I never expected Tomato (a famous Japanese author) to have a book called Yue Guan; I thought he only wrote romance novels. I've read many highly-rated books, but most have disappointed me. Luckily, when I had nothing else to read, I searched for Yue Guan, and he truly lived up to my reputation – everything he writes is a masterpiece.
The Southern Song Dynasty arc was really good, but it became rather dull once the Three Mountains world began. In my mind, this book would have ended after the Southern Song Dynasty arc.
It's very well written, but the poem on the stone tablet in the government office was written by Zhu Yuanzhang, who wasn't even born during the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yes, it captures the spirit of the era beautifully. No wonder it's a pioneer of time-travel/alternate universe stories!
Although it's not the most classic work by a top author, it's still worth five stars compared to most online authors.
