Empress: Father, It's Time to Abdicate

In a Reading Slump. Recommend Something Smart With Intelligent Characters

First of all, nothing brainless, no womanizers, and no power fantasies that make everyone stupid. I'm looking for something about everyday life, simple and funny, maybe a little silly. Thanks!

Since You Started Reading, Which Book Has Been Your Favorite?

Since you started reading, what's your favorite book? Which one is it, and who wrote it? What's the absolute best book you've ever read? I'm different, I have lots of favorites, hehe (๑˙ー˙๑). Hmm, I'm too greedy, reading several books at once.

Power Struggles ♛ Masterminds Behind the Board ♞ Schemes to Rule the World ♝

Ancient-Era Stories With a Brilliant Strategist, Political Intrigue, Mind Games, and Power-Building

Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂

I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.
