No Mary Sue characters or golden fingers. The female lead should be fairly intelligent. I only want family power-struggle stories, no palace intrigue.

Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels
I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗
Looking for Household-Intrigue Novels Where the Characters Aren’t Stupid!
1. No white-lotus female rivals who do nothing but whimper, cry to win sympathy, and get some scumbag prince or father to rush to their defense. Those insulting-to-the-reader plots are a hard no. 2. As a female-lead fan, I need the male lead to be sexually pure. 3. No lovesick female leads.

I'm Out of Things to Read. Looking for High-Quality Stories with Great Writing and a Smooth, Unawkward Plot
I'm more interested in historical settings. Farming, fantasy, palace intrigue, romance, or male-male pairings are all fine, as long as the writing and plot are good. Ideally, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings between the leads. These days I drop so many novels before I even get halfway through. The ratings are ridiculously inflated, and I don't even want to get started on the leads' characterizations.
Are There Any Female-Oriented Novels Suitable for Male Readers, for a Change of Pace?
I've been reading novels for 12 years, and there are hardly any left that are worth reading.

A Self-Reliant Little Maid Who Refuses to Become a Concubine
Looking for Smart Palace and Household Intrigue Stories
Looking for books like Who Gets It? The Empress Wrote a Hundred Palace Rules (Wanfengchai). I've read quite a few books by now, and I sincerely hope to find more where the protagonist (preferably a woman, though a male and female lead would be fine too) actually uses their brain and isn't focused on romance...
Please Recommend Transmigration Novels About Storytellers in a Wuxia Crossover
The protagonist transmigrates into a world of martial arts stories and tells tales from works like The Sword of Snow Stride and Douluo Dalu, while compiling various rankings, such as the top ten beauties and top ten experts.
Female-Dominated World, with a Career-Driven Empress or Villainess
The Female Lead’s Identity Is Revealed Early, She’s a Badass, and the Male Lead Only Dotes on Her
The female lead's secret identity should preferably be something like a God of War. A top student being fought over by prestigious schools would also be fine.
Looking for Palace-intrigue Stories Where the Female Lead Uses the Deep Palace Song System
I've gotten really into the game Deep Palace Song and hope some kind, honest souls can recommend stories where the female lead transmigrates and uses the Deep Palace Song System to fight in the imperial harem. Other good palace-intrigue stories are fine too.

The author's writing style is exquisite and particularly good. Each character's personality is very distinctive. It is very different from other novels of the same type. The plot does not drag out and is linked to each other. The author writes it carefully and thoughtfully. I love it.
I like the setting of this story. The chosen cows and horses of Dachang 996 once transformed into the personal maids of the concubines of the Duke's palace. They unlocked the ability of [Cause and Effect Line] and could predict and exploit dangers. They have 7 lives. It is very similar to the plot cycle setting. They constantly try out their skills and constantly upgrade to fight monsters!
The author is very good at writing, and his writing style is very unique, just like watching a TV series. The plots are intertwined, the plot is pushed forward smoothly, and there is no procrastination. It looks really good. It's completely different from the cliche house fighting plot.
The story has twists and turns, is fascinating and enjoyable to watch.
The author writes so beautifully. Can't stop at all. Especially the back part is getting more and more exciting. I admire the author's imagination. The author is really a genius, he can come up with such tricky plots.
The creativity mentioned is very unconstrained, with a girl as the protagonist. This is the first time I have seen it. It is very fresh. I have to give the author a thumbs up for this. Moreover, the story scenes are very immersive and the author's writing is good. Come on.
I finished reading this book in one go, and I was fascinated by this book. As a maid, the heroine does not have a golden finger, but relies on her own wisdom and courage to make a living in the Duke's mansion. It is very enjoyable to read.
I have looked for many books of the same type and found that they all have similar routines; but this book actually writes new ideas based on the same type, which I personally think is pretty good.
This is my first time following it, and the writing is really good.
It looks good, the plot and character descriptions are very good, and it doesn't make you tremble.
