The Sixtieth Year of Kangxi

Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters

Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.

Stories About Power Struggles in Both the Martial World and the Imperial Court?

The protagonist should be decisive and ruthless. The antagonists should be intelligent, or there shouldn’t be any absolute villains. No female lead, and above all, no woman should turn the protagonist into an idiot.

A Gambler Named Chu Liu

High-Quality Historical Novels With Political Intrigue

Looking for books like "My Father Is Emperor Wu of Han!" Nothing rated below 9.0, please. I'm in a serious reading slump.

Liu Lanfang's Storytelling

Books I’d Rate 9.9: Read Each One at Least Twice

It's really good. I've kept it on my bookshelf and couldn't bring myself to delete it. The story may be a little slow-paced, but it's perfect for settling down and reading.

A Highly Intelligent, Strategic Prince in a Historical Novel Like The Nation-Founding Prince Consort

That's it.

Ancient Chinese History: The Three Kingdoms, Song, and Ming Dynasties

I've read all of these. They have their flaws, but at least they're readable and not painfully awful.

Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up

Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.

A Powerful Protagonist, a Special Forces Elite, with a Hidden Organization

The protagonist is very popular with beautiful women.

Well-Written Novels That Are Heartbreaking, Linger in Your Mind, and Leave You Wanting More

For example, "There Is a Small Shop by the Clouds". I like novels that portray the world realistically, because they really move me. Whenever I think back on "By the Clouds", I feel like crying, as if there's a wad of cotton lodged in my chest, soft and unreal. Are there any similar stories?

Something long.

Emperor Novels

Please help me find a transmigration, rebirth, emperor-and-System novel. I'm out of things to read.

Harry Potter Snape Heterosexual Romance

I want to read books similar to "HP: The Strongest Potion Merchant." I want stories about Snape, with a male-female pairing! I prefer the next generation over the Marauders’ era. No Lily substitutes, and don’t make the protagonist overly devoted to Lily. They can be very good friends, but don’t force the worship. Some logic would be even better.

Books Hold a Golden House

Looking for stories like Slay the Gods. Don't miss out on a great book.

Books with Excellent Prose, Tight Logic, and Historical Accuracy

I want something similar to Ants of the Great Song.
