✧ [宫廷]: this genre sets its narrative in pseudo-historically accurate eras of Ancient China. The main plot of these novels is heavily focused on palace or imperial court intrigues, such as battles for the throne or political dominance, military strategies, and schemes, with little to no fantasy.

note: if there's any gongting title missing please do let me know!
