[Romance] Book Recommendations, First Batch [Full]
Due to JJ's rating system, I can only give five stars in reviews. The other four-star ratings are genuine. Some are so old I can't remember much, so the comments are brief.

Reading List
Required description
Strong Female Leads
The heroines are usually experts in their fields, outstanding figures, or heads of state. They’re ambitious, driven, and tenacious.
Unmissable Qing-Era Palace Intrigue
Writing, plot, and depth: a novel needs at least two of the three to stand out in the fiercely competitive Qing time-travel genre! Some plot points or values may not align with mainstream views today.

The history of the Ming Dynasty is indeed quite controversial. I have my own personal understanding. The author has basically restored the timeline and context of the official history, and adapted it with his own opinions to make it more story-telling. I think it is much better than a bunch of TV drama scripts with a Ming Dynasty background on the market. I saw that the copyright of "Hu Shanwei" has been sold. I am very looking forward to seeing it on the screen one day, hoping to restore 70% of the novel. Although it is not a historical novel, the author is still very research-oriented, and I learned a lot while reading the novel. I also checked some information intermittently during the process of reading the novel, and read some papers and books that the author referred to. What I like most about this article is that whether they love it or not, Shanwei and Shanxiang have never given up on being themselves or their ability to think independently. There is no bloody competition among women, only competition or mutual sympathy from different standpoints. Under the imperial power, no one can help themselves. Looking at the changes in the current situation through the life of a female official, after reading the whole book, I feel both gained and disappointed...
This book is really well written!!! It's perfect for filming into a TV series!
I have read this book many times, and I still think it is the pinnacle of ancient female official literature. It is so enjoyable to write about the machinations and intrigues of Zhou Da!
The order of reading Lan Zhou's novels is: Jixiang Ruyi – Ming Dynasty female detective – Jixiang Ruyi – Hu Shanxiang – Hu Shanwei Now I'm going to see Jixiang Ruyi
It's very interesting, but the ages and years are really messed up. The setting started in the 13th year of Hongwu, and the senior female officers gathered in Tianshun for 8 years, but there was an interval of 84 years... According to this year, the heroine is 104 years old and Huang Weide is over 120 years old...
I read it in a week. I was traveling every day. I couldn't stop reading. I finally finished [Orange Sugar][Purple Sugar] Tribute
Dear author, I used to be a 100% subscriber. I recently opened it and read it again. I had to spend money again for a few pictures. I was confused.
I really like Hu Shanwei so much, I feel like I have already watched him four times and five times. Shanwei and Chunchun are also gods in love
