Looking for books like What on Earth Is Going On?: Complete in Two Volumes. Something really mind-bending or hilarious, preferably both. Not too much romance, and ideally with a ruler and his ministers, or a master and his subordinates. Anything like that? Please! BL would be great, but straight romance is fine too.

67 Chasing the King Shui Qiancheng1.0M WordsCompleted 4.9kReads9.0Score1.4kShelves
Reader note
The most majestic political drama written by Shui Qiancheng, it tells the story of Yan Sikong, a counselor from a poor family, and Feng Ye, an aristocratic prince, who have been entangled in the troubled times for twenty years, from knowing each other and cherishing each other to fighting each other. The game in the court is like a chess game. The two are repeatedly torn between power and friendship. When they love, they are willing to care about each other's life and death, but when they hate, the flames of war are endless. Shui Da uses cold and sharp writing to describe how idealists in the political whirlpool are crushed by the times, and how they rebuild their faith amidst betrayal and blood. The line of family, country, world and the line of love stand side by side. Feng Ye's paranoia and madness and Yan Sikong's forbearance and conspiracy form the ultimate tension. The ending of "Finger Atonement" can be called a critical attack of BE aesthetics. If you love the epic feel of "About the Wine", you will be shocked by this tragic song of troubled times.
