Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space
It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!
Power Struggles ♛ Masterminds Behind the Board ♞ Schemes to Rule the World ♝
Looking for novels with a protagonist who’s almost supernaturally clever and skilled at political maneuvering. A System or not is fine, and a female lead or not is fine, but I don’t like protagonists who think with their pants. I’m begging you, great masters!!!
Political Intrigue, Historical Setting

Recommend Historical Novels About Brilliant Strategists Who Shape the World
Hand over your historical novels about high-IQ masterminds plotting to conquer the world.
Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.
Historical Chinese Mystery and Crime Stories
The female lead transmigrates and is a cold, aloof forensic pathologist. The male lead is gentle only with her.
Mind-Bending Mystery and Detective Stories

Are There Any High-Intensity Books Where Everyone Is Intelligent?
A single female lead is fine, but it has to be exciting! Exciting! Exciting! It's cold out, and I want to work up a sweat.

Looking for a purely historical romance novel. The male lead comes from a prominent clan and is ambitious, while the female lead is his clever, capable principal wife. I want a story about household intrigue, with the two of them managing the family together.
Looking for Deep Historical Romance Mysteries Like The Golden Hairpin
Looking for books like "Records of the Hairpin: Complete in 4 Volumes".

I’ve reread "Records of the Hairpin" three times, and now I feel like I can’t get into any other books.
Looking for a Suspenseful, Mind-Bending Mystery with Tight Logic. Urgent!!!!
The kind that's hard to understand
Looking for Ancient Political Intrigue Novels with a Prince Protagonist Who Has His Own Faction

Well written, the plot is captivating, and the language is beautiful.
I'm following the updates. Neither the male nor female lead is unlikeable, and the author's writing is excellent. Keep it up!
Fantastic! It's been a long time since I've seen such a shrewd male lead, he's so handsome!
It has the suspenseful atmosphere I like. Although the male lead is young, his decisive and ruthless methods and intelligence often make me forget his age. The female lead is a few years older than him and is determined to uncover the truth behind her parents' murder.
This is so well-written, I love it! The male and female leads each have distinct personalities. The male lead is eccentric yet reserved, never easily showing his true feelings, while the female lead is kind yet controlled by reason. The plot unfolds seamlessly, with the romance naturally interwoven.
The writing is fluent, the plot is captivating, continue... The choice of words and sentence structure is excellent; it's rare to see such a well-written piece that flows smoothly and evokes a sense of history.
Another great book whose title doesn't do it justice. I initially thought it was just a typical fortune-telling story, but the content is surprisingly engaging, with a blend of martial arts and detective elements. The male and female leads, in particular, and even the supporting characters aren't stupid or overly sentimental.
It is very well written, with a strong foundation in classical Chinese. The plot is both logical and engaging, making it a truly excellent work.
The author's writing is truly excellent. The character portrayals, scenes, and inner thoughts are all depicted so well. The writing is delicate and never gets boring; you just want to keep reading. The male lead is strong but not invincible, and the female lead is intelligent but a bit reckless. The romance doesn't happen suddenly; it unfolds gradually, a classic case of love growing over time.
Well written, I'll bookmark it and read it slowly. It's so good, 460,000 words already, how come the traffic is so low? I guess it's the cover? The synopsis? The title? Is there a problem?
