After Reporting My Mentor, I Uncovered a City Defense Map Hidden in a Painting

Ancient Romance, Absolutely Amazing, I’ve Reread Them Several Times

A Classic Historical Romance Recommendation for a Well-Read Woman

I found a book that doesn’t follow the usual formula. It’s full of knowledge, has a clear historical timeline, and offers deep insight into human nature. Definitely worth taking the time to read.

Looking for Stories About a Legitimate Daughter in Ancient Times Who Is Reborn and Returns for Revenge!!!

Looking for Historical Slice-of-Life Novels

Looking for books similar to Climbing the Ladder. Completed novels and newly released serials are both fine!

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. 😃😍

Political Intrigue, Historical Setting

Are there any grand-scale political intrigue novels like *Scheming for Love* and *The Prosperous Age's Strategist*, with court politics and a turbulent martial world, but no domestic infighting?

Really Great Historical Romance!

Hey, cuties, do you know any really good historical romance novels with beautiful writing? I'm in a reading slump lately. Thanks for the recommendations, sweeties! OvO Sending love.

Are There Any Books With a Highly Intelligent, Meticulous Heroine Who Plans Every Move?

Looking for books similar to *In the 1960s, I Became the Scheming Female Lead's Stepping Stone*. The female lead can suffer, but she must always get revenge. Good writing would be nice, but isn't essential. I just hope the golden finger isn't too overpowered; a little female-lead luck is fine. I still prefer smart female leads.

Looking for Historical Court-Intrigue Novels With Brilliant Schemes and Elegant Prose

Looking for books like *She Wants to Take It Easy, but They Keep Forcing Her to Rebel (Ascending to the Golden Palace).*

Please, I Need Political Intrigue Novels. No Idiot Protagonists

Are there any good political intrigue novels left? I'm begging you. I don't care if there's a System, as long as the protagonist isn't an idiot.

Looking for Brainy Novels with Intrigue, Schemes, and Political Maneuvering

The kind you have to read with your brain switched on.

Any Good Historical Romance Novels to Recommend?

Highly rated and enjoyable.

Political Intrigue and a Big-Picture Female Lead!!!

I want a female-led story with a grand scope. A male lead is fine, too. Please, I’ve run out of books to read. It needs to be well written!

I’m Out of Books, Help!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything that feels fresh and original, not the same old formula? Something that truly stuns you from the very first page and makes you want to keep reading, unable to put it down? Is there anything like that? Someone save me, I’m in a reading slump.

New Writers and New Books: Share Them Here

Looking for books like Sealing Demons and Eradicating Evil.

Any Female-Oriented Political Intrigue Novels?

I've read so many political scheming stories aimed at men and palace and household intrigue stories aimed at women that I'm starting to get tired of them all (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ). Any recommendations? Stories with a female lead who keeps multiple love interests are fine too, but the writing, plot, and story all need to deliver! Only the finest, please! Thanks!

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 Ancient-Style Political Intrigue with a Smart Protagonist Who Plots on a Grand Scale

The protagonist should have their own faction. No System!!!

High-Quality Ancient-Era Political Intrigue. I've Outgrown Ordinary Historical Romance

High-quality historical romance, with either a strong male or female lead. I want characters who seem genuinely smart. Most of what I've read lately has been pretty cerebral, either deeply philosophical or very logically consistent. No transmigration, golden fingers, or Systems. Pure historical romance.

Ancient-Era Stories With a Brilliant Strategist, Political Intrigue, Mind Games, and Power-Building

Looking for Ancient Settings, Political Intrigue, and a Highly Intelligent Protagonist

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

Legitimate-Daughter Stories with Household Scheming, and a Clever, Courageous Heroine

Are there any novels with a legitimate daughter as the female lead, who overcomes one challenge after another? She has a terrible father and a grandfather who dotes on her, and she raises a son and daughter born to a concubine. Looking for something along those lines!!

Historical Romance Where Both the Hero and Heroine Have Extremely Noble Status

Historical romance, with both leads coming from very distinguished backgrounds. The male lead dotes on the female lead, and she loves him too. Ideally, she should be a general, a princess, or a legitimate-born young lady, while he should be a prince, the crown prince, or a regent.

Looking for Well-Written Political Intrigue Novels

I want a smart female lead with a high status who knows when to keep a low profile or conceal her abilities 🙈 No scummy fathers and stepmothers, or concubine half-sisters constantly causing petty trouble in the household. No sweet romance, just a pure historical power struggle 🤗
