Are there any grand-scale political intrigue novels like "Scheming for Love" and "The Prosperous Age's Strategist", with court politics and a turbulent martial world, but no domestic infighting?
Stories About Power Struggles in Both the Martial World and the Imperial Court?
The protagonist should be decisive and ruthless. The antagonists should be intelligent, or there shouldn’t be any absolute villains. No female lead, and above all, no woman should turn the protagonist into an idiot.

This ancient strategy book is really good. Each character in the book has a distinct personality and is very three-dimensional, and the villain is also scheming, not brainless at all. It is pure ancient style, no fairy tales, no fantasy, very pure. The protagonist Ning He is also very powerful in breaking the situation. Events that seem to be coincidental are actually carefully laid out dark lines. This kind of writing method with a gray line and thousands of miles of twists and turns is really beautiful, delicate and logically rigorous! Highly recommended! Worth a look, very good, needs to be savored carefully
The layout and writing style of this article are so surprising. The game of power in troubled times is written in a progressive manner, without any deliberate sense of pleasure, but with real struggles and calculations everywhere. The depiction of the weaker party struggling to survive in the cracks is particularly moving. Each character has his own position and helplessness. He is the chess player and cannot escape the fate of the chess pieces. The writing is both concise and tense, and the undercurrents between the lines make people want to read it. It is a masterpiece worth reading carefully.
[Note] A wonderful ancient strategy! The description is meticulous, the story is deep, the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and the plot logic is rigorous! It can be said that a small and weak country survives through the cracks of a small country and a large country. It can be said that every step is difficult and shocking! Good looking and recommended! [Learned]
It is really a very good ancient novel. The historical plot is described in great detail, and the characters are portrayed in detail. Everything that seems to happen by coincidence may actually be manipulated by others. The links are intertwined and fascinating! A highly recommended, purely Machiavellian fictional historical drama!
This ancient style Machiavellian novel is really exciting. Although the pace in the early stage is not fast, the foreshadowing is very important. The later developments are all foreshadowing. The male protagonist and the prince have an online IQ throughout the whole process, and the villain is also clever and resourceful. It is very exciting and highly recommended 💕
A large-scale production worth over a million dollars, with profound writing skills.
The writing is very good, the relationship between the characters is intricate, and while it is thrilling to watch, there are also some small warmth. Kudos to the author.
The ancient Machiavellian flavor of "Against the Wind: Undercurrent" is so poignant! The small country in the gap between the four major countries is struggling. The setting of "everyone is a chess player and a chess piece" increases the tension of power and intrigue. The undercurrent of conspiracy in the turbulent history is gripping to watch. The characters are all three-dimensional, and even the villains are not stereotyped. Although it is a potential new book, the writing is stable enough, so I will definitely follow it! It's still as beautiful in the second brush, but I just can't get enough of it.
It's a very good ancient novel, without fantasy or immortality. It's a pure Machiavellian novel with smooth logic. It feels like there are a lot of plot foreshadowings. The writing is very delicate and many places pay attention to details. It's very good.
This collection of works is a masterpiece of ancient style, with ups and downs of the plot and vivid and vivid character descriptions, especially the foresight and extraordinary wisdom of the protagonist Ning He. It is a masterpiece of ancient style, fascinating and worth reading carefully. I recommend it as a good book! Sometimes I feel that although An Shuo and Yin Chongbi are bad, they are completely bad. At least they dare to take responsibility. They are better than some behind-the-scenes boys, better than those so-called loyal men in sheep's clothing, and better than the emperor who is more than ten thousand people. The emperor is the one who does the bad things, and the people do not need imperial power! The work is great, I will continue to read it 👍👍👍
