Recommend Some Worthwhile Ming Dynasty Novels

I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?

Looking for Historical Novels. I Prefer Stories with a Strong Historical Focus

Looking for books like "I Possessed Someone in the Spring and Autumn Period and Became a Lord (A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period)". Does anyone know any realistic novels like "Life in the Middle Ages", "A Little Lord of the Spring and Autumn Period", and "Anxi Army Diary", with a focus on history, politics, economics, war, and farming?
