Underrated, High-Quality Reads!

I’ve read 90% of the books on the recommendation lists. I’m looking for lesser-known, high-quality stories with good writing. Male- and female-oriented novels are both fine, any genre or setting, ancient, modern, or fantasy. Short, medium-length, or long works are all fine, whether ongoing or complete.

Strong Female Lead and Political Scheming! No One Acts Like an Idiot!

I don’t want a female lead disguised as a man! She should be unbelievably clever or have maxed-out combat skills. She could be a princess, a martial artist, or anything else. She shouldn’t rely on the male lead’s help. Using her own strength as a woman, she turns the situation upside down. The process can be difficult, but in the end she should achieve her ideals.

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

Looking for a story where the male and female leads support and trust each other, gradually rising to become emperor and empress, with both career ambitions and romance.

Novels with a Strong Female Lead Focused on Her Career.

Looking for books similar to With the Esteemed Minister System in Hand, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times. Are there any stories with strong female leads? Cross-dressing as a man is fine, but it is not required. I am especially interested in ancient imperial examination stories. A romantic pairing is optional. I want to read about women building careers without relying on anyone else, only

Preferably Historical Romance with Political Intrigue and Two Strong Leads, Modern Romance Is Fine Too

Both leads should put their own interests first. Ideally, their factions start out somewhat hostile, and they're both rather cold-hearted. The female lead should be one person in public and another in private, with a ruthless streak and plenty of different sides to her. I want a romance between evenly matched rivals who refuse to back down and keep flirting with each other. 😃😍

Historical Romance With a Dashing, Spirited Young Male Lead

Nothing clichéd, and no simplistic beginner-level prose. Just something well-written. I don't want a naive, helpless heroine, and the hero should be like the one in the title. Transmigration or a straight-up historical romance, either is fine. A newbie has stumbled into an advanced-level reading slump.
