Seeking Truth Against the Tide: I'm No Rebel

Court Intrigue and Chivalry of the Martial World: There Is No Jianghu After Sword Snow Stride

I've read Sword Snow Stride three times already. Anything else?

Any Stories with a Passionate Ensemble Cast and a Team Growing Together? Mystery and Mind-Bending Plots Are Welcome Too

Looking for Ancient Detective Novels, Without a Bunch of Women Competing or Domestic Infighting

I want a novel about solving cases in ancient times. Not one that keeps throwing in a pile of household infighting and rivalry between women. No CP is fine, and I don't want the overall atmosphere to be too heavy either.

No Power Fantasies or Mindless Stories: Something Substantial and Not Cringey

After reading a few books that really make you think, I can't get into brainless stories anymore. It's frustrating. (No heroine, or just one heroine, but don't demean women, or I really can't stand it.)

Looking for Mystery Stories with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist and Multiple Cases

Preferably, each case should be resolved within just a few chapters.

Looking for Ancient Romance Novels With Several Couples

No Romance, Martial World, Ensemble Cast: A Group of Young People Growing Up

Looking for Ensemble-Cast Stories Where the Leads and Supporting Characters Share the Spotlight

I really need recommendations. I’ve hit a terrible reading slump lately. Everything people recommend is either about being doted on by everyone or has an absurdly overpowered protagonist. Please suggest some ensemble-cast stories where the protagonist isn’t exceptionally impressive. Any romance setup or no romance is fine, but no transmigrating into a book, and no transmigration. Please recommend some!

Looking for a Novel With Three or Four Couples

Whether it's the male lead or the male supporting characters, they all have to be domineering. I also want to know which chapters each male and female supporting character appears in, all of them. Please, please help me! I'm obsessed with stories that have lots of couples and domineering men.

Looking for High-Quality Historical Alternate-History Novels About War, Rebellion, and Restoring Order to a Chaotic World

The protagonist earns merit on the border and rises through the ranks step by step, fighting the nomads in the north. Then the realm descends into chaos, and the protagonist brings peace to the land.

Recommend Ensemble Stories Where the Main Characters Act as a Team

I hope every member of the protagonist group is portrayed well. Fantasy or post-apocalyptic settings are both fine. As long as the characters are not made stupid, I can accept it. I would prefer witty writing. Saintly characters are fine if they are merciful and generous toward allies but ruthless and decisive toward enemies. I do not like indiscriminate killing.

Ancient Historical Mysteries and Detective Stories

Looking for books similar to The Assassination of Qin Shi Huang. New ancient-era mystery and suspense novels, please!

Any Books with a Truly Righteous Protagonist? Upright Values, Upright Actions, the Real Deal

I’m Looking for Some Old-School Novels, Thanks

I'm looking for older novels. Stories from back then had a special flavor, but I don't mean just any old novel. I want ones with sound values, sensible characters, coherent logic, and generally intelligent people. No old-fashioned, brainless melodrama with the heroine overcoming a disability, please. Thank you!

Wuxia, Imperial Court, Jianghu

Looking for books where the protagonist is a prince who can fight and is powerful both at court and in the martial world.

Looking for a Historical Mystery with a Well-Plotted Investigation

Ensemble Stories About Young People: Passion, Jianghu, Great Writing, and a Satisfying Ending

Looking for books like *Dashing Youth*.

Pure Historical Mystery, Deduction, and Case-Solving

Looking for books similar to *The Golden Hairpin* (complete in 4 volumes). I want a high-quality pure historical mystery and detective novel, with a strong male lead and a strong female lead, no melodrama, clear logic, and well-rounded characters. No transmigration or rebirth!

Looking for Wuxia Detective and Mystery Recommendations

Works similar to Yang Pan's.

Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System

I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.

Stories About Government Agents Solving Cases, Preferably With Jianghu Martial Arts

A System would be good. Stories involving the Six Fan Gate and the like are fine too.

Looking for Two Male Leads Whose National Loyalties and Schemes Outweigh Romance, With Intertwined Feelings

I wonder if anyone knows about Xingcai. It’s roughly the kind of relationship where each person is someone the other can rely on, a place to pause, stay, and rest, while still holding on to their own beliefs. Not the kind of romance that feels like manufactured sugar.

Looking for Fast-Paced Historical Mystery and Detective Novels! No Romance!

Looking for books like Chang'an Twelve Hours (Complete in 2 Volumes). Any fast-paced historical mysteries with an ancient setting? No romance, and no mindless power fantasies!

Looking for Historical Detective Novels with Lots of Cases
