The Chief Minister's Poisonous Favorite

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. 😃😍

Stories About a Powerful Minister and a Clear-Headed, Intelligent Legitimate Daughter 😭

I’m fine with the male lead usurping the throne later on or not 😭 He’s kind of like Yuwen Hu.

Top-Tier Political Intrigue

Looking for books similar to "I Heard the Ruthless Regent Secretly Loved Me." Please recommend top-tier ancient-setting stories about a female protagonist and extreme political intrigue.

The Female Lead Has MAX Combat Power!!

Some examples: Sister Ying in *Reborn: I Pretend to Be Weak at School and Take Everyone by Surprise*; Lord Huang in *The Abandoned Daughter's Wild Ways: The Poisonous Consort Is Fierce and Arrogant*; Sister Yuan in *Quick Transmigration: The Big Shot Has Gone Crazy Again*; Sister Yin in *Heaven-Defying Spirit Beast: The Peerless Demoness Rules the World*.

Female Lead, Revenge, Ancient Setting

Any ancient-setting stories where the heroine grows up and gets revenge?

Sweet Short Stories You’ll Stay Up All Night Reading!!!

Any Historical Romance with a Brilliant, Strategic, Strong Female Lead?

A little funny, but definitely well-written, like novels such as Imperial Exams and the Strongest Female Chief Councillor, or Blossoms in Adversity.

Any Feel-Good Stories Where the Female Lead Slaughters Her Way Through Everything?

Looking for books similar to The Villain's in a Bad Mood, So the Whole Family Meets in Hell.

Looking for Feel-Good Stories for Female Readers

Looking for something like *HP: The Hot-Tempered Study Freak's School-Wrecking Antics*. Somebody save me, aaaaaah! Even reading a novel won't give me a moment's peace? No short stories or novellas, and don't recommend your own writing unless you're really confident in it.

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.

Give Me Pure Wish Fulfillment! No Suffering in Silence, No Pretending to Be Weak, No Toxic Characters!

I'm looking for books like Cold White Moonlight? No! I'm the Villain Chosen by Heaven (The Sinful Altar). I just want my blood pressure to go down. Why do those awful people get to live for so long? If the heroine is powerful, why let them off the hook!!!

Historical Romance: Every Noble Family's Legitimate Daughter Should Have Her Proper Pride

No more than 200 chapters. The noble daughters from great families may have conflicts, but they all have the right principles. They unite when it comes to the country. The female lead is gentle and soft-spoken, a proper young lady. The male lead is refined and courteous.

Recommend Stories with a Strong Female Lead! No Dragging Things Out

Ladies, please recommend something to save me from this reading slump. Quick transmigration, with or without a CP, strong female leads, transmigrate or reborn! Preferably completed, because ongoing novels are torture!

Pure Historical Romance, Chief Councillor Stories, Powerful Minister Stories

The male lead is a chief grand secretary or minister. He starts as a scholar, tests his way to the top and earns the title of top scholar, then schemes his way up from the Hanlin Academy to become a powerful minister or chief grand secretary.

Looking for Historical Romance With an Incredibly Intelligent Heroine and Unmatched Cunning

A male lead or no male lead, either is fine.

Looking for a Strong Female Lead Like Lü Songli: Clever, Strategic, and Always One Step Ahead

Looking for books similar to After the Arranged Marriage, the Cannon-Fodder Original Wife and the Young General Get a Happy Ending. The main plot should involve intelligent power struggles, or quietly developing and expanding one’s own forces. Either is fine. In short, keep the romance to a minimum, or preferably leave it out entirely. Please avoid Mary Sue characters and contrived melodrama.

Short Historical Romance

Preferably a story about a princess regent and a prince regent, or a prince and princess consort who marry first and fall in love later.

Looking for Palace-Intrigue Novels with a Scheming Heroine Who Drives a Wedge Between the Emperor and His White Moonlight

The emperor's childhood friend is reborn and realizes how good the emperor is, so she wants to rekindle their relationship. The heroine either awakens to the truth or transmigrates into a book, and learns that the emperor will cause her death. She doesn't want the emperor and his childhood friend to live happily ever after while she dies horribly, so she schemes to split them up and win the emperor's heart.

Completed, Feel-Good Stories with a Noble, Strong Female Lead, Preferably Reborn

In her first life, she was the reason her family was ruined. After being reborn, she treats the people who were kind to her well and makes them happy, while making the people who mistreated her suffer the same ruin.

Looking for a Historical Romance with a Powerful Male Lead Who's a Scheming Court Official, but No Angst. He Should Be Cunning.

Palace Intrigue! High Status! HE! A Clever Lead

Ideally, an ensemble cast with women supporting one another. I want high-born characters, not stories about slowly climbing the ranks. Most importantly, the characters must be smart, and the supporting cast shouldn't be treated like idiots! Something that's both enjoyable and moving.

Historical Romance, Married First and in Love Later

Historical romance: marriage first, love later. No transmigration. The male lead falls for the female lead, but she doesn't like him at first. Later, he has to grovel to win her back.

Looking for Good Historical Romance

I like stories where the female lead is smart and the reading doesn’t feel exhausting.
