My First Love Was Cixi

Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

Alternate History, No System or Golden Finger

I want to read something like Tough Soldiers in the Military Camp. The male lead uses his intelligence and technology to establish his authority, build a nation, and develop it.

Quality Urban Slice-of-Life, Classic Realistic Political Drama, and Great Insight Into Human Weakness

I'm looking for something like *Lost on the Road Through the Ranks*. A top-notch slice-of-life urban novel and a classic, realistic take on officialdom. It excels at portraying human weakness and social realities, and I found it very insightful.
