The Transmigrated City Lord

Any Political Intrigue Novels With Smart Characters?

I'm out of books to read.

Alternate History, Political Schemes, and Ambition: Drunk, I Lie in a Beauty's Lap; Awake, I Hold the Power of the World

Are there really no stories like this on Tomato Novel? Where are the tales of sleeping with beauty on your arm and waking to command the world? Ideally, the protagonist should be ruthless, wield power over the realm, and be highly resourceful.

Any Novels with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist Whose Schemes Interlock and Who Plans Everything from Behind the Scenes?

Every Twist Leads to Another, and It Gets Better the More You Read

Preferably Historical Romance with Political Intrigue and Two Strong Leads, Modern Romance Is Fine Too

Both leads should put their own interests first. Ideally, their factions start out somewhat hostile, and they're both rather cold-hearted. The female lead should be one person in public and another in private, with a ruthless streak and plenty of different sides to her. I want a romance between evenly matched rivals who refuse to back down and keep flirting with each other. 😃😍
