If you like reading about the history of past dynasties, come on over! These are all several million words long, absolutely engrossing and exciting. I've read nearly all of them myself.

Who's the Best at Wild Historical Fiction?

Looking for books similar to "The Sickly Man Who Became the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Tutor". Are there any well-written alternate-history novels that aren't dumbed down? The ones I've read lately feel like they're insulting my intelligence, with plots that are especially far-fetched. 😅 Ideally, one with an audiobook! Please!!!

Looking for a True Masterpiece

I just finished "The White Snake" and "I'll Give You My Life". Now I want a few truly great stories to cleanse my brain. Preferably with no harem and either a male lead with no romance or a female lead with no romance.
