Hi, I'm new coming in the world of c-dramas and loved the Untamed. So I'm trying to find some more Chinese dramas to fill that void. I've tried watching Joy of Life, Nirvana in Fire, and Love and Redemption but couldn't get very hooked on any of them. Preferably looking for a wuxia drama but can be historical with no fantasy, does not have the main genre as romance (side characters in love is fine), and no royalty politics.

(Joy of Life - Personally love this and Xiao Zhan is in it too lol. That and Nirvana in fire were dope to me)

 Same BL turned bromance. You might like this if you're an untamed fan

BoyGirl Romance

(It is hard to run away from royalty politics the untamed had it to though lol)

I would say the main part about The Untamed that got me hooked was the story writing. So maybe some wuxia dramas with less romance? (personally I think romance in c-dramas is exaggerated way too much) And understandable, it's more so those complicated politics seen in certain dramas can get me a bit confused/bored. Also, forgot to mention that I watched Word of Honor as well.  Ending came out of nowhere imo but nice character dynamics

Chinese historical dramas where I think romance isn't the major genre, the story writing is the main advantage, and with no to little royal politics:

Thank you! I'll give them a shot!

Some of my favorite Historical C-Dramas are here with a few with notations: https://mydramalist.com/list/W19kJEe3

But, I'd go with these if you're new to historical C-Dramas: 

oops just saw your "romance NOT as a main point. You may want to ignore all my suggestions then. HA!
