High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard
Looking for a novel with a protagonist like Murong Li from The Legend of Qin: someone who treats the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces, plans everything out, and plays life like a game, but is willing to become a piece on the board himself when necessary.
High Intelligence, Brilliant Scheming, Calculating, and Cunning
Preferably with dual personalities.
Looking for a Wuxia Novel About Wandering the Martial World Freely and Carelessly

Great Alternate-History Novels
Looking for something like [Great Tang: Benevolent Ancestor]. Historical or alternate history, with high-IQ characters and no dumbing down or brainless behavior. No overpowered, self-insert hero.

In my opinion, this novel presents a very good wuxia (martial arts) experience, much better than those low-quality fantasy novels that score only 9 points. However, the male lead's character wasn't well-defined from the beginning. For example, he's a smooth talker towards women—yes, he doesn't actually do anything, just flirts—which detracts from the overall impression.
The plot is gripping, the pacing is brisk, the imagery is vivid, and the descriptions are exquisite. A truly excellent book. 👍👍
The plot is well-paced and suspenseful, the writing is delicate and smooth, and it's humorous and interesting—truly a good book. It has the charm of a snow-covered landscape; it's a great book. Keep up the good work, author! Five stars!
I've always enjoyed reading traditional fantasy novels, especially those without systems. This one is quite good, but I hope the author can avoid a harem element and cater to female readers...
This book is excellent, well-written, and ingeniously crafted; it is definitely worth reading. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all avid novel readers.
Similar to the novel "Snow in the Sky" by the author, it features a former top martial arts master, a father guarding the frontier, and a story of wandering the martial world. The writing is very delicate, and like the novel, it features many beautiful women around the protagonist.
I read this novel a few days ago; its 7.9 Rating almost made me miss out on a great book. It shouldn't have such a low rating! This kind of subject matter and content is truly worth reading.
It's pretty good. The characters are well-developed, which is my type. The protagonist is a bit cheeky in small matters, but decisive in big ones, which is quite interesting. The plot development is also logical. I've finished most of it so far, and I'll stock up on more while waiting for it to finish.
The writing is good, but the update speed could be faster. I hope the future plot can show a larger world, otherwise it feels like there's too little to cover only the Western Wilderness and the Great Xia Dynasty.
Well, to be honest, I was looking for books on Tomato Bookstore before, and I always skipped anything with a rating below 9. Turns out you can't just look at the rating alone 😏. A lot of the ones with ratings above 9.5 Are probably fake. This one, however, really suited my taste.
