Zhaowu Restoration: Prince Gui Saves the Ming

Historical Stories (Any Dynasty, No System, and with Intelligent Characters)

A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

“From this day forward, all in the Great Ming, from emperors to commoners, must honor these principles: No marriage alliances! No reparations! No ceding territory! No tribute! The emperor guards the nation's gates; the sovereign dies with the realm!”

Looking for Historical Fiction with Smart Characters

The protagonist and the emperor are brothers, and the protagonist wields immense power. Everyday comedy.

Novels Set in the Ming Dynasty, No Chongzhen Emperor

I want historically rigorous stories, and the protagonist shouldn't be too overpowered. Nothing set in the late Ming under the Chongzhen Emperor.

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed

It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.

Great Late Ming Dynasty Stories, No System

Set between 1644 and 1662, about native Ming people resisting the Qing. No transmigrating into someone else's body or anything like that. Please don't dumb down the characters, with the Qing easily crushed and wiped out like in so many stories.

The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties

Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?

Looking for Novels About Rebellion at the End of the Ming Dynasty

I read this before, but I’ve forgotten the title. It was set in the late Ming dynasty, during the Chongzhen Emperor’s reign. The protagonist gradually built up his power and gained a sizable following. Rebel kings began appearing one after another, and Chongzhen had no money, so he offered the protagonist official positions in exchange for cash.

Looking for Purely Ancient Native Protagonist Novels, With No Transmigration, No Rebirth, and No Otherworldly Space

It feels like there are so few stories like this these days, but I really want to read one. It'd be even better if it also had palace intrigue or household scheming. Please recommend some!

Stockpile Supplies, Keep a Low Profile, Seize Power, Build Your Own Base, and Fight Political Battles

Interested in Ming Dynasty History. Any Books That Aren't Melodramatic or Historically Distorted?

No melodrama, no distortion of history, and preferably no authorial agendas slipped in. Rebirth and transmigration are both fine. Are there any interesting Ming dynasty novels that aren't ridiculously over-the-top?
