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.
