"Timely Rain" to Rescue the Book Shortage

I want to read books similar to "The Ci of Zhao'an". Under the surface of romantic narrative, "The Ci of Zhao'an" hides a philosophical speculation about power, human nature and freedom. Yu Qingan's identity as a "doctor" is endowed with a double metaphor: she saves people with her medical skills, but is forced to get involved in the power struggle.
