The Sage of Letters, the Poet Immortal, and the Grand Secretary: I Am All Three

Are There Really Any Books That Can Match Misty Rain, Like One Step, Ten Calculations and Li Ziye?

Looking for books like Misty Rain Tower.

Looking for Historical Novels Set in Ancient Times, With a Male Protagonist. A Normal Number of Wives and Concubines Is Fine

I Want to Read Imperial Exam Stories, Preferably With the Protagonist Reborn in the Womb or Starting as a Child and Climbing the Ranks Step by Step

Looking for books similar to After Being Bitten by Leeches While Farming, I Stayed Up All Night Studying for the Imperial Exams.

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?

Young General!!! I Love Spirited, Confident Young Men. Nothing Too Tragic

Please, I Need Political Intrigue Novels. No Idiot Protagonists

Are there any good political intrigue novels left? I'm begging you. I don't care if there's a System, as long as the protagonist isn't an idiot.

Chang'an: A Book, an Academy, the Martial World and the Court, Fighting Off Foreign Enemies

A literary academy and Chang'an, the jianghu and the imperial court joining forces to repel foreign enemies.

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.

Ancient Setting, Imperial Exams, Not from a Poor Family, No System, Transmigration

The protagonist should have sound values, pass the imperial examinations, and devote himself to serving the people. He should be decisive while still considering the greater good. One female lead only. He should take revenge without harming the innocent. When discussing poetry, he shouldn’t come across as pretentious. Success should be hard-won: others shouldn’t be crushed by a cheat just because they’ve studied for ten years. The story should explore big ideas.

The Protagonist Is Also Eloquent, Constantly Dropping Memorable Lines and Even Borrowing Plenty of Poetry.

Wielding His Brush, the Scholar Writes of All Living Things. One Poem Can Shake Enemies in Every Direction

Highly Rated Imperial-Examination and Historical Novels, Reborn Stories Are Fine, Completed Works Only

Either a male or female lead is fine. No golden finger, but the protagonist should have a space. I really can’t stand protagonists with too many plot-armoring advantages.

History, Alternate History, and Poetry

Poetry in an alternate-history setting.

Historical Fiction with a Protagonist Skilled in Poetry and the Arts, Hopefully with Good Prose

The protagonist should be skilled at poetry and song. I hope there are more varied poems, rather than repeating the same few over and over.
