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.
Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)

Looking for High-Quality Historical Alternate Universe Stories with Wars, Rebellion, and Bringing Order to a Chaotic Era
The protagonist earns merit on the frontier and rises through the ranks step by step. He fights the northern nomadic tribes, then when the realm falls into chaos, he restores order.
Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...
Rated Above 9.5, No Dumbed-Down Characters!!! Passionate, Funny, and Original

An old bookworm, good-looking, intelligent, strategic, courageous and resourceful, I won't say more [staring emoji] Ha, some people think it's wordy. But if it weren't wordy, would some people with only a kindergarten education even understand it? 😅 This is history, for crying out loud! It's supposed to be rigorous! 😅
This is one of the few historical novels I really enjoy. Actually, I don't read many novels, and when I saw the title, I wasn't planning to read it because I thought it wasn't my type of book. But I really love this book! The writing style and the historical accuracy are truly impressive; it feels very rigorous and authentic. Haha, I couldn't stop reading once I started!
Five stars! This is a really good book. The author's update speed is decent, and the plot is excellent. It's not a typical "damsel in distress" story, nor is it a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. It has flesh and blood, bonds, and is still enjoyable. A rational assessment: it's truly excellent. Also, author, please update soon! I simply can't get enough!
The protagonist's transformation from initial reluctance to eventual acceptance of the throne is portrayed very well. I really enjoy reading historical fiction. Thumbs up! 👍
A highly recommended historical novel, humorous and satirical, that provides insight into ancient Chinese political and feudal systems, making it an unforgettable read.
It's incredibly good, the plot is perfect, and there are so many flawless parts that I almost want to tie the author up and make him spend all 24 hours a day writing.
The local people are kind and honest, so I'll give them a good review first. Once I got to the part about the princess in chapter 22, I knew what would happen next. Some of the tricks are old and predictable. The romance story was well-written, but it was a bit difficult for me to listen to. It doesn't make sense logically, but as an individual, I have desires, which is understandable.
Saves time: It features a harem where many women flock to you; it's plot-driven, so if you prefer action-packed stories, you don't need to click. Overall, it's quite exciting, but a significant portion consists of slice-of-life scenes, which can be a bit tedious.
Overall, it's quite good. The writing is sound, with much of it based on historical records. The pace is relatively slow, and it touches on most aspects of ancient times, such as marriage alliances to establish kinship ties. This is a way to increase power; if someone has ability and talent, they will receive support (this is the first thing shown).
Wow, incredibly detailed and beautiful! I don't know why it has a low rating. Highly recommended! I've been reading it since 5 PM until 1:30 AM. Ah, why is it so short? I can't get enough! This is the first time I've been willing to write such a long review for an author. Fantastic! 🥰
