History RPF… History RPF!
If I don't read any more historical RPF, I'm going to die 😭 Pre-Qin, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Tang, Song... anything is fine 😭 Crawling around in the shadows, searching everywhere for something to read.
You Treat Me as a Worthy Gentleman, and I’ll Return the Favor: Any Stories About Loyalty to the Emperor, Brothers?
The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties
Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?
Great Qin! Any Novels That Don't Vilify Li Si?
I'd prefer something well-researched. I'm sick of unofficial-history stories: they almost always start with someone killing Li Si, and I just can't take it anymore.
People in Politics Are All Heartless. Give Me a Book That Helps Me Understand Them. Random Recommendations Are for Idiots
Looking for books similar to Game Theory. Anything about politics, including nonfiction, is fine. Nobody's recommending political novels? I want power struggles where people devour one another, the more realistic the better. Don't bother me with low-level business, household, or palace intrigue. Recommend stories about reform, governance, or the military.
Scholars Have Their Pride, and Generals Their Loyal Souls
Historically Respectful Fiction
Looking for books similar to I Traveled to the Jin Dynasty and Became a Master Diviner. History woven into a novel, teaching through entertainment.
There Are No Good Novels Left About the Tang, Ming, or Qin Dynasties. I Dare You to Prove Me Wrong
Looking for Stories About an Emperor and a Chancellor, Both Male
Looking for books like "Prime Minister, Go Easy on Me, His Majesty Is Crying Again".

It's so beautiful. I love it from Sister Zhengsi. According to unofficial records, Cao San was actually Brother Zhengsi.
Zheng Si Bai Xue Hong Mei 99, Four Years of History is highly recommended by the same girl
It can be seen that the author is well-read and has profound literary skills. The plot creates a different Li Si than previously thought. The plot of Han Fei's death is handled well and innovatively, and the small foreshadowing of Yi Shui's farewell to Fu Qiube is also connected with the previous article. Although some timelines feel inconsistent with official history, for a historical fan novel, it is really rare. The author's own writing style is full of humor and is very attractive to readers. There are some things that I don't like very much. There are too many descriptions of the relationship between men and women, and the gaze on women in a feudal society. These also coincide with the "Misogyny" by Chizuru Ueno that I watched at the beginning of the year.
Needless to say, the author's writing style is super good, and I am a Zhengsi sister. I really like the interaction between Li Si and Qin Shihuang.
The characters are really good at portraying them, and they are also very interesting. You can understand them with zero knowledge. Point of difference: Although there are some female Nings in the book, it was published in 2007, so it can be forgiven.
It's really good. I feel that Qin Shihuang and Li Si were like this in history. In addition, Zhengsi 99
I am eight point one, this book is only eight point one?
I feel bad after reading this. History and politics are too cruel.
It's very well written, but I love to express myself in a Huang accent.
Very good. I read it when I was in college and read it again after working for many years. Different moods, different feelings, and different endings.
