Finished novels with Ancient China setting - Rec
Anything I like that’s vaguely set in ancient China. In no particular order. Incl. xianxia and wuxia. There’s political intrigue, harem intrigue, power struggles, mu*der investigations, etc. Mostly HE, romance is probably there, mainly straight and BL couples (can anyone rec good historical GL to me I’ve been looking??)

Light adventure comedy xianxia that’s self aware of the tropes and makes fun of itself. Love how all the characters have depths.
