The Tang Dynasty Novelist

Historical Fiction That Feels Realistic

No System, and nothing about The Legend of Qin. Just straight historical fiction.

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

Looking for novels with a protagonist who’s almost supernaturally clever and skilled at political maneuvering. A System or not is fine, and a female lead or not is fine, but I don’t like protagonists who think with their pants. I’m begging you, great masters!!!

Historical Novels About a Male Lead Born into an Aristocratic Clan Who Eventually Unifies the Realm

A decisive, cool-headed protagonist with a high IQ.

Tang Dynasty Novels Are So Awful, All the Same Stories About Early Tang and Zhenguan

The only book I can think of is *Tang Plotting the World*, which is set in Emperor Gaozong’s era. There isn’t another one after that. After all, if the story goes a little further forward in time, Li Bai, Du Fu, Du Mu, Bai Juyi, and Li Shangyin are all born, and it gets harder to show off with poetry. Even this topic of mine has been derailed.

Desperately Short on Historical Fiction, Please Recommend Some to Save Me From This Reading Drought

Preferably a historical novel with a realistic feel.

Are There Any Stories Where Someone Transmigrates to the Tang Dynasty and Becomes a Member of One of the Five Elite Surnames?

A clever, sensible legitimate son as the protagonist.

Transmigrate to Ancient Times as a Scion of a Great Clan, With a Protagonist Who's Actually Smart

The kind that makes you feel like you're an idiot.

Showbiz and Writing Novels, Including the Shrouding Heaven Trilogy. Please Don't Recommend Anything Else

Any novels about someone transmigrating to a parallel world and writing the three-part Shrouding the Heavens series, as well as writing songs?

Tang Dynasty Novels That I Personally Find Worth Reading

Transmigrate to the Tang Dynasty and experience life there.

The Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans: Marriages Between Aristocratic Families

I want stories about the love and hate among powerful aristocratic clans: the Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans, who only marry into other great clans and don't take the imperial family seriously. Don't recommend those useless stories where the Five Surnames and Seven Great Clans are wiped out in a single stroke. The clans the imperial family fears should be as impossible to stamp out as cockroaches.

Looking for Lord-and-Ruler Stories: Transmigrate to Ancient Times as a Noble Heir and Build Up the Family

Tang and Song Dynasty Historical Novels

Looking for books like *Serving Song*. Any novels that follow historical logic, are well written, don't vilify historical figures too much or make the protagonist ridiculously overpowered, and have the protagonist either study under a historical figure or take one on as a disciple, ultimately saving the dynasty?

Divine Arts Battle Supernatural Powers

Imagine a book where the protagonist uses the peerless martial arts from Jin Yong's novels to make a name for himself in a world undergoing spiritual qi revival, taking on all kinds of superpowers. The clash between the two eras would surely be spectacular.

High-Quality Tomato Novels

Looking for books like *Top-Tier Taming (also known as Bewitching)*.

Transmigrate Into a Prestigious Clan in the Tang Dynasty

Any period from the early Tang to the late Tang is fine.

Looking for the Ultimate Power Fantasy, Without Those Clichéd Face-Slapping Scenes

I want the kind where the protagonist goes on a killing spree. Xianxia, high martial arts, or urban fantasy, anything goes 😘😘😘

Any Stories About Villains Who Never Turn Good?

I'd like books similar to After Turning into a Zombie, I Was Spoiled by a Crazy, Handsome Villain. He's a bad guy, but he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately!!! Please recommend some, friends!!!
