Rising with the Wind: Reborn, the Marquis's Legitimate Daughter Goes on a Rampage

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes

I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

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

A few years ago, I read Shen Jiaojiao and Xie Jingxing's story. I just finished "The Grand Princess Bride" and got completely hooked. I don't feel like reading any other historical novels now. I'm also looking for historical novels with detailed palace intrigue and a deeply cunning heroine who takes revenge, like Shen Miao and Jiang Li.

Strong Female Lead and Political Scheming! No One Acts Like an Idiot!

I don’t want a female lead disguised as a man! She should be unbelievably clever or have maxed-out combat skills. She could be a princess, a martial artist, or anything else. She shouldn’t rely on the male lead’s help. Using her own strength as a woman, she turns the situation upside down. The process can be difficult, but in the end she should achieve her ideals.

A Female Lead With a Powerful Background, High Intelligence, and Great Strength, Even Stronger Than the Male Lead

Please avoid naive, lovestruck female leads or ones who are blinded by love. Ideally, the female lead plays the pig to eat the tiger and conceals her identity.

Historical Romance with Two Strong Leads: Both Are Cunning and High-Born, with Palace and Household Intrigue, and No Goody-Two-Shoes Heroines

Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core

No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.

Are There No More Books With Writing as Good as Yan Sanhe's?

I'm looking for books like *The Xie Family's Short-Lived Ghost Has Lived to a Hundred*. I've read all over the place, male-oriented and female-oriented fiction alike: palace intrigue, rebirth, cultivation, horror, comedy, CEO romances, detective stories, ghost hunting, the mortal and spirit realms, gods, golden fingers, you name it. I'm not into books that only obsess over romantic relationships. I love stories with a grand scope.
