Any Books Like <i>Qing Gaoqi Ming</i> That Combine Hard Science and a Good Plot?
I feel like *The Rising of the Tangled River* has a lot of specialized knowledge, and the overall plot is pretty plausible. I’ve only read the beginning so far, not the parts set in the capital. Are there any similar books? It doesn’t have to be a group transmigration story. I mainly want something both technically detailed and plot-driven.
Looking for Novels About Rebellion at the End of the Ming Dynasty
I read this before, but I’ve forgotten the title. It was set in the late Ming dynasty, during the Chongzhen Emperor’s reign. The protagonist gradually built up his power and gained a sizable following. Rebel kings began appearing one after another, and Chongzhen had no money, so he offered the protagonist official positions in exchange for cash.

I'm Out of Books to Read: Any Transmigration Novels on the Level of Iron-Blooded Remnants?
Looking for books similar to Ironblooded Remnants of the Ming. I've already read Late Ming.

And not someone who gets rich through a few clever tricks, either. Please recommend some.

Great Late Ming Dynasty Stories, No System
Set between 1644 and 1662, about native Ming people resisting the Qing. No transmigrating into someone else's body or anything like that. Please don't dumb down the characters, with the Qing easily crushed and wiped out like in so many stories.

Preferably something centered on schemes and strategy. The longer, the better.

The content of this book is really exciting! The author Luo Xuepeng's research on Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army is so in-depth, it feels like he has "resurrected" that period of history. I especially like the description of the battle scenes between Zhang Xianzhong and the Daxi Army in the book. It is so vivid that it makes me feel like I am immersed in the scene. Moreover, the author's process of solving puzzles is also very attractive. It feels like every mystery is like a puzzle to be solved, making people want to keep reading. All in all, this book is well worth reading!
Very well written
