Recommended Non-Modern Dramas with Smart/Cunning ML?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some Chinese drama recommendations where the male lead (ML) is smart, cunning, or strategic, with a good mix of romance. I'm currently watching Love in Nirvana and really enjoying it.

Some dramas I've loved include:

  • Joy of Life
  • Legend of Fei
  • My Heroic Husband
  • Go East (recently finished this hidden gem, and I loved the clever ML).

If you know any more non-modern dramas like these, especially with a smart or strategic ML, please share! I’d love to hear your suggestions. Thanks in advance!
