Fallen Stars at Dawn

Strong, Clear-Headed Heroines

Highly Intelligent, Politically Astute, Decisive, and Not a Goody-Two-Shoes

An Ordinary, Calm, and Clever Female Lead

Looking for Mystery Stories with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist and Multiple Cases

Preferably, each case should be resolved within just a few chapters.

Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.

Any Grand-scale Historical Political Intrigue Novels?

The male and female leads should be smart, not foolish and naive.

High-IQ Historical Alternate-World Novels

An alternate-history novel with a highly intelligent protagonist who builds a hidden power from scratch

Political Scheming, Mutual Mind Games, Everyone Is Sharp, With No Absolute Good or Evil, Only Different Loyalties

Looking for books like She Was Reborn as a Treacherous Minister's Daughter, and Played the Role to Perfection. I really want a spirited, heroic female lead, like an ancient female general. The male lead shouldn't become lovesick the moment he meets her, and the supporting characters shouldn't be dumbed down. Everyone should have their own personality. Don't make all the glory...

Ancient Historical Mysteries

Looking for an ancient-era detective novel.

Mystery and Crime-Solving Stories, One Case After Another

I'm out of books to read. Any experts have good rebirth-era stories or historical rebirth stories to recommend? Most importantly, no System!

Low-Key Farming or Infrastructure-Building Stories, No Golden Fingers, Starting From Scratch

Female-oriented fiction.

High-IQ Novels About Scheming and Conquering the World, with No Forcefully Idiotic Side Characters

Something like The Nation-Protecting Prince Consort or Legend of Ling Tian, with schemes to conquer the world.

Looking for a Smart, Strategic Female Lead Who Doesn't Rely on the Male Lead

I love novels like Blossoms in Adversity so much.

Transmigration, Mystery, and a String of Murders

Are there any books like The First-Class Coroner?

I'd like a book like The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Lived to a Hundred.

Any Stories About Simulating Palace Intrigue, Cultivation, or Life?

Please, please!
