Synopsis

[A career-driven heroine who's a romantic con artist × a distant, aloof man who can no longer hold back his feelings] [No more being the unattainable first love: I'll temper my original ideals into poison] [Traditional historical romance: no golden finger, no contrived melodrama, no transmigration] In the third year of the Jinbao era, an outbreak of plague exposed a shocking case. She believed she was exceptionally gifted and destined to distinguish herself in the imperial examinations and protect the people of her homeland. But she witnessed her father die unjustly, and discovered that the light that had once rescued her from dire straits had only ever seen her as someone else's substitute. Xu Zhiyi's heart had been tempered again and again, as if plunged into fire and cold water. Gao Fang: The person she admired in her youth came from beyond mountains and seas, then departed with the wind and rain. By the time he finally understood his own heart and tried to seek her out, they were already separated by death. She had disrupted the seasons of his life, and from then on, his lingering illness proved impossible to cure. Xu Zhiyi asked him whether he loved her or her shadow. To him, the two had long since become one. Xu Zhiyi: She walked a path with no right or wrong, no good or evil, no loyal or treacherous. The more power she gained, the less clearly she could see herself. Her pure, original ideal had been swept up and transformed into a dazzling flower of evil. When she looked back, she could no longer recognize herself. The story of a woman's rise as an official.

Preferably Historical Romance with Political Intrigue and Two Strong Leads, Modern Romance Is Fine Too

Both leads should put their own interests first. Ideally, their factions start out somewhat hostile, and they're both rather cold-hearted. The female lead should be one person in public and another in private, with a ruthless streak and plenty of different sides to her. I want a romance between evenly matched rivals who refuse to back down and keep flirting with each other. 😃😍

Seeking Well-Written Historical Political Intrigue Romance, It Must Be Well Written

I want to read books similar to Sunset Over the White River. The writing has to be good, the kind you can’t bring yourself to skim. The plot should be tight and never fall apart, and both the hero and heroine should be smart, able to plan ahead and keep the big picture in view.
