Dreams Beneath the Moon in Huazhou

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. 😃😍

Looking for something with highly intelligent characters.

Looking for a female-led political intrigue novel like *The Chaotic Era’s Female Warlord*, where she vies for supremacy amid the chaos.

Tribes, Farming, Development: Come Share Your Recommendations!!!

The protagonist transmigrates to a primitive tribe and starts developing it through farming, gradually bringing everyone under one rule. System stories need not apply. A golden finger is fine as long as it isn't too over-the-top.

Proper Historical Fiction, No Transmigrate, No Reborn, No Romance Drama

I'm looking for a proper historical novel. No being reborn, no transmigrating, and no romance-obsessed drama. There are more and more novels about transmigration, being reborn, and romance-obsessed characters, and I'm sick of them. I'm getting more and more disappointed.

Looking for Political Intrigue

I have run out of books. I am begging for a political-intrigue novel, preferably one where everyone has believable intelligence. Otherwise, reading it feels like torture.

Alternate-History Stories About Political Scheming and Conquest

Slow-Burn, Gentle-Paced Stories

Any recommendations for a tender, slow-burn story that still has a good pace? Nothing with stupid, love-brained characters or the leads constantly hurting each other.

A powerful male and female lead, political intrigue, and an ancient setting.

Looking for books like *The Substitute Bride Becomes Empress*.

Does Nobody Else Love Big, Burly Generals Who Are Sincere, Earnest, and Devoted?

I'm looking for books like *She Transmigrated Into the Treacherous Minister's Legitimate Daughter and Played the Role Naturally*. Please recommend male leads like Chen Chu from that novel! I really love this type, but I've searched every platform and come up empty 😭! He's huge, but also sincere and loyal...

A Fierce General and a Delicate Beauty

Any stories where the male lead is a rough, muscular, fierce sort of guy, but is exceptionally gentle and attentive with the heroine? Something like *Beauty and the Beast* 🤩
