Giving webnovels another go...

《将倾》

• Historical setting (fake dynasty but the departments and positions are all real and people in these departments are assigned the correct jobs) ✅

• Equal partnership between the BL couple (well, at the moment more like hissing at each other over jurisdiction, but whatever, they're gonna get together) ✅

• Minimal age gap ✅

• Avoids modern memes and slang, semi-classical grammar ✅

• Court politics (plus military conspiracy and murder mystery!) ✅

• Food descriptions (ok, one scene with wonton, but I'll take what I can get) ✅

Tentatively hopeful this doesn't turn into something stupid... At least it's feeding my desire for a martial-civil officers couple. Personally love it when the martial-civil divide shows up in court politics dramas, so fun watching two different world views butting heads.
