A Commoner Holds the Imperial Seal, So Let Me Be Rude

Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste

Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Intrigue, Schemes, Political Maneuvering, High Intelligence, Master Plans, and Suspense

I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn.

It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.

Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.
