Ancient China BG novels that cater to my extremely specific tastes

Trying to find gems amongst all the copy paste novels. These are full of tropes I like and find unique :>

I like smart (and pretty) MC, smart couple, communication. I hate generic ice cube ML.

Also, I'm a hopeless romantic so some novels are here not because they are great plot-wise but because it hits all the good "romantic points" in my heart.

I created this list to remember novels that caught my attention and there's many that I haven't finished reading.
