They basically like the Janissary, centurion, Persian immortal, the samurai, the ninja, the Amazon women warrior, Shaolin monk warrior, the spartan, Teutonic knight, varangian guard, elite soldier/warrior back in the ancient time.

Depends on your qualification of good looking, standards changed with time mind you. But ancient times in general have very famous good looking people like Pan An who is said to get followed by horde of women whenever he went out lol 

In ancient China for example, Prince Langling was said to be so beautiful, he had to wear a scary mask when going to war.

It tries to raise fear enemy might feel, more often than not warriors do not really look scary, it's best to cover your face with a metal mask which protects your head and scares enemies. Mind you, there wasn't anything like TV etc so masks were probably extremely terrifying to people back then as they can unintentionally create bunch of folk stories lol

I prefer books for ancient topics they are usually even if its not accurate my honest about what happened. Like in ancient times frequent kidnappings corruption indecent behaviour... Those were the truth back then, and it's hard for any drama to feature these, they tend to make it too nice

I tend to read from ugh, source so most of my choices are a bit boring 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/9004191275/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_RM8SJ9BJMRA1S3MMTAAN

Like this 

Otherwise if you want a free alternative with mix of more fun topics NovelUpdates holds translation records from all over Asia, mainly focused on web novels, while they are not completely accurate, some popular and loved choices do depict ancient China perfectly tbh 

 

Do check ancient China tag on novels!!

This is a bit.. different I guess? It tells the story of Achilles and Patroclus (who is far less known soldier) and his lover. It's quite a sad one. I would say it's probably a deeper look into the culture while adding more elements
