Everyone, come check out the ones you like!

Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste

Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels

I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗

Please Recommend High-Quality Political Intrigue

I'm looking for books like "The Jin Army Besieges the City: Reborn as Emperor Qinzong of Song". The male lead can transmigrate into the past as an official or an emperor, or rise up from the bottom through the imperial exams. I'm open to anything, but I'd like genuine political intrigue and an accurate historical setting. Something like "Sword Snow Stride" or "Celebrating the New Year".

I'm fine with something like Xun Qingteng's Republic-Era Spy Shadow, with a bit of political intrigue. Don't bother recommending those authors' self-indulgent fantasies, like, "?" (I'll say no more.)
