   These three political novels are so good! The second one is a historical novel set in a bygone era, with a bit of a "golden finger" plot, but the characters working in government agencies are portrayed realistically. The first one is a political novel I recently found, and it's so good! It's about rebirth, college students, and civil service exams. The third one I've been recommending for a while now is also written with such great prose! It's also about college students, selected graduates, and rising step by step in a government agency. The two are somewhat similar, but written from different angles; all three are excellent!

She's a genuine heiress, but there's no cliché of a brainless love triangle with a fake heiress; all the male leads unconditionally love her. (Don't be put off by the cover, it's actually quite good.) The second book's male lead serves a supporting role; the female lead is a diplomat. The third book's female lead is reborn and pursues a political career. Her family background is arguably second or third in the hierarchy. The first half focuses on resolving issues that destroyed her family in her previous life, followed by promotions and addressing public concerns. The fourth book's male lead is the female lead's system; he doesn't appear frequently at the beginning, with romance appearing more in the epilogues. The female lead is a diplomat who learns many languages ​​and is admired by many powerful figures. The fifth book features a diplomat from a top-tier family.
