Female-Protagonist Agency: Plot First, Romance Second
I'm here for the female leads: powerful or growing, charismatic, and in control. The supporting cast should hold up, and any romance should never overshadow the story. Mostly plot-driven, with romance on the side.

Both BG and BL are included. These are such excellent books that I'd read them at the expense of sleep, stay up all night for them, and even finish them in one sitting while slacking off at work.

Strong Heroines in Ancient Romance
I searched for historical fantasy with strong female protagonists because I wanted to find some stories to read, but there were hardly any book lists. Why is this so obscure? This should be a major genre, so I will make some recommendations.
Cool, Aloof, or Uninterested Heroines
Calm, clear-headed, highly intelligent, rational female leads are my weakness. That superior, high-and-mighty vibe is so satisfying!
Infrastructure and Political Scheming
Sharing good stories. This list includes works set in every period, from ancient times to the modern era
Strong Female Leads and Empresses
The female lead becomes emperor, with no romance or a barely present male lead
Gender-Bending Female Leads in BG Romance
BG novels I've read featuring women disguised as men, both modern and historical. I give three stars to some whose details I can't remember very well; the rest get four because I can't give them five.

The male protagonist has a dispensable existence. I want to read the full story of the female protagonist's career! Hahahaha, the second cousin belongs to everyone!
It's really great! The characters in this story are all flesh and blood, they are not stereotyped villains and vicious supporting characters, and there are no perfect good guys. I really like the main characters in it! Originally I thought the second brother was portrayed very well, but after watching it, I felt that the male protagonist was also very good! Divine love with Sister Ying!
Finished with claws. Overall, it is a good article, especially the part before the capital, but the latter part is a pity.
It's really beautiful. I beg you, author, to choose a good name!
I really want to see Cui's ex-husband bump into Xiao Huo Xiaoying's happy and loving appearance, and he will be so ashamed and jealous that he vomits blood and dies.
It is really a good article that is delayed by the title and copy. If it weren't for the long reviews from other book fans, I wouldn't have clicked in to read it. It is not an imperial examination essay in the traditional sense, and some of the later passages are a bit exaggerated, but the flaws are still there. I like the description of the relationship between the male and female protagonists throughout the text, which is very delicate.
After watching it for half a month, I finally finished it! First of all, the author's writing style is very profound, his foundation is solid, and most of the content is well-founded, which is the main reason why I read it. Many of the descriptions of weather and environment are fascinating and enjoyable to watch. Although Yunying was reborn, the author also spent a lot of time describing Yunying's hard work and hard work during her childhood. There is also a relatively in-depth description of the supporting characters. I like the character of Fourth Master Fu very much. He is very warm. Because he is in business, his horizons are broad, and he is also very open-minded about Yunying's study. Although Fu Gui has her own thoughts, the cuteness of a little girl and the "scheming" caused by the environment, she is not vicious, unlike some articles that blindly portray characters. After watching it, I understood why everyone felt that the relationship between the male and female protagonists was not so easy to reconcile, but the second brother had more aura as a character. The reason is that I think the relationship between Yunying and her second brother is more life-like. They read together, drink tea and help each other on weekdays. The second brother also respected Yunying very much. Whether it was Yunying's apprenticeship or taking the imperial examination, the second brother was always there to support him silently. On the other hand, looking at the relationship between the male and female protagonists, Yun Jin appeared late on the one hand, and on the other hand, the author often described that because the male protagonist was born noble, he was willing to put down his body and do this for the female protagonist, which was very touching. And I think there are too few daily exchanges between the male and female protagonists. It seems strange that they start intimate scenes as soon as they meet later? I don't deny that after a long wait, the male and female protagonists have problems making out. But many times when two people meet and start kissing without saying a few words, it makes people feel that they have nothing else to do? The relationship between the two still lacks description of details. Another problem is that the pace of the article is really slow. If it weren't for the author's good writing style, sometimes when read as prose, the plot would not be particularly attractive.
The ending is a bit vulgar. Although she was not accepted into the harem by the emperor, it is equally boring to combine with the powerful. The key reason why the heroine can escape as a woman is that the second brother will join the cabinet in the future. Civil servants from Huguang and related people have formed an interest group, and there is no one who can replace the heroine for the time being. As for Master Huo, civilian officials have suppressed military generals since the Song Dynasty. The article also mentions that as long as power struggles are involved, military generals who have made great achievements can only be ruined. What I like most is the period of life in the academy. The like-minded and high-spirited young men are always touching, but the later ones are boring, because the heroine has become more and more smooth and oily. Although she has also done some practical things and is a capable minister, the ideal aura of this character has basically disappeared, and there is no excitement in people's hearts. Many treacherous ministers were once young people who wanted to make a career, but in the end they were deceived by greedy models. The heroine may be the same after a few years.
After reading it, a circle is drawn for the woman herself, and then she continues to draw a circle for the next generation, and it continues like this. Many people are like this; All the different reactions due to different genders are an invisible shackles of thinking.
After reading it, this is really a novel with a female protagonist. The male protagonist is not much mentioned. It can be said that the second male brother Fu is obviously more present than the male protagonist, because the career lines of the second male protagonist and the female protagonist are very closely related. Although the male protagonist Luo Jia appeared late in the book "The Monk", there is no more outstanding male character in the book than Buddha. In that book, the male and female protagonists are obviously the absolute protagonists. In this book, in addition to the female protagonist, many outstanding characters have been created, including Brother Fu, Fourth Uncle Fu, Cui Nanxuan, Zhu Hechang, Su Tong, Yuan San, Fu Yunqi... The most important thing is that these people are obviously growing up in the book. This is the only big book that I have read recently. There were too many books that I wanted to read before and I saw comments saying that the male protagonist of this book was too old, so I put this book to the last one to read. I like the heroine very much, and I like that she and her friends use their youthful passion to practice the noblest ideals of scholars: "Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations." This is really a very passionate novel, but the name is a bit hard to describe.
