These are some of my all-time favorite historical gems—no xianxia, superpowers, or system stuff here! Some are packed with political drama, others just a fun dive into the past. You’ll find witty, sharp-minded characters who can talk their way out of anything, alongside clever schemers who are always three steps ahead. But some also contain a witty salted fish MC. Whether it’s fierce power struggles or lighter tales, these books have all sorts of vibes. Please do not hesitate to recommend me other novel that have similar vibes.
