If you find Judge Dee interesting, you might also find something worthwhile in Deception by Eleanor Cooney and Daniel Altieri. Dee is one of the main characters in it (the authors note at the end that they call him 'Dee' rather than 'Ti' in the text entirely because that's the name under which van Gulik made him famous in the west), but it also deals with a much broader historical landscape.
I can't speak to the accuracy of the history or culture shown in the book, but it was, as I recall, a fascinating read.
