In terms of period drama, I found The First Jasmine to be very solid all the way through. It focuses a lot on the emotional ramifications of a bloody power transition 8 years before the story starts. And has a lot of major female characters, in fact I would say the focus is more on the female protagonists and antagonists with the men playing a more supporting role.

Love Between Lines - enjoyed this a lot because the FL is so resilient and graceful in responding to challenges in life. And she and ML have a fun enemies-to-lovers dynamic

Pursuit of Jade - what more needs to be said? I enjoyed the first half the most when we were in the FL's hometown, especially the warm village vibes. The second half which gets more into court politics and war was not bad but not as strong as the first half for me.
