Historical Romance, Xianxia Is Fine Too

Looking for books like *I Heard the Bloodthirsty Minister Has a Secret Crush on Me*. The plot should be fantastic. Angst is fine, but not angst between the leads. Side characters can get tragic endings, or there can be heartbreaking family drama. The heroine should be cheerful and clever, and can be a little aloof. The male lead should be obsessive, scheming, and self-centered.
