Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

Any Worthwhile Romance Novels with a Levelheaded Female Lead, Solid Logic, and No Naive Goody-Two-Shoes?

Looking for good romance novels with coherent, logical plots. I don't want unrealistic stories where the male lead's company somehow accounts for 65% of the world economy. The female lead shouldn't be a naive, simpering doormat or a scheming two-faced social climber. She should be a woman with a mind of her own.
