Political Career Novels Worth Reading!

Everyone can recommend just one personal top pick. Please don't suggest books with inflated ratings. I've read most of the famous ones, so I'm looking for something fresh.
Highly Rated and Complete
Please recommend a few highly rated novels, preferably long and completed. I’ve been reading several books at once and they all reach the latest chapter. Sometimes I even mix them up. It’s really frustrating, so I’ve been stockpiling a lot of novels.
Looking for Masterpieces by Great Authors Like Chen Dong, Er Gen, Mars, and Wang Yu
Looking for works by big-name authors like Chen Dong, Er Gen, Mars, and Wang Yu. So far, I’ve only found Mars’s Against the Gods.
High-Quality Completed Stories
Recommend Great Historical Novels Set in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, or Ming Dynasties
Historical novels with believable, well-written stories, where wars are bloody and peace is fraught with undercurrents. Male-oriented fiction, not the kind where ancient heroes are summoned.

This book is so wonderfully written. The author writes very carefully, and some details are well written. It seems to really draw people into that dynasty. The early stage is very daily and warm, and the later historical court is even more ups and downs and fascinating. At present, it is still a single female protagonist. I like it and will keep following it... (Copy this comment, get 50 cents, delete the ones in parentheses)...(ಡωಡ)Hiahiahia... No one commented, no one read, only myself.
It's really good-looking. The male protagonist is very upright and has good character. He knows how to adapt. It's great. I just hope that the male protagonist's character is still as good as that, without being sentimental, and the background is very real. Dull. Real life is a bit dull and close to life. Great! Come on, author, keep it up, don't be influenced by those half-hearted scum.
I really like the heroine Xiaochan who has endured humiliation and taken care of the hero for so long in order to repay her kindness. I hope this is a novel with a single heroine. Those stud stories are too annoying to read, and the hero can concentrate on his career and have more dramas about intrigues in court.
It's wonderful. I've read more than 70 chapters. The plot is compact and has no pitfalls. It's not like other historical novels, where you start off by losing your son-in-law and then counterattack with some ink in your belly. The protagonist of this novel is very good to his wife. I hope the author will continue to work hard in the later period and never waste such a good beginning or make it into a stud novel. Although this is a historical novel, it is normal for the protagonist to have three wives and four concubines.
I have always wanted to see articles on this general topic. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I accidentally saw it a few days ago. The content is quite good. Please update it soon. I can't wait.
This book is considered a good book in Tomato. I have read so many books and I am not interested in many of them. However, this book is exciting and interesting. I am following it every day. It has received five-star praise🌹
It's very detailed, nothing too over the top. I hope no other women will get involved in the future.
It's quite good. The male protagonist travels back in time to ancient times and has a step-by-step journey from the lowest scholar to the first minister of the current government. It's quite sad to watch it. The male protagonist himself does not have such great ambitions and desires. He is forced by reality and has to become more and more ruthless. What he does is just to feed and clothe the people. Although his methods are powerful, I can understand him. It's a pity that in the end, Xiao Huangdi also became more and more suspicious of the male protagonist under the influence of power. I originally thought that Xiao Huangdi was a good and clear-headed man, but in the end he got there and became more and more scheming and suspicious, which made people feel uncomfortable. Especially the little emperor's coquettish actions after the male protagonist resigned were chilling.
Ordinary stories and ordinary histories of life struggles, this is what literary works should be like. Those systems and awesome things that are being coaxed are all nonsense, but now there are a lot of people writing about such systems. This book is great! I hope the author will continue to work hard! ! !
The writing so far is great, and it feels like a small bridge and flowing water, so old bookworms can read it with confidence. The author's writing style is also very good. I would like to suggest that you should write more emotional scenes so that you won't feel bored.
