 I have read some great works but sadly they were limited to manga and manhwa. I havent yet touched any Chinese work. Sure I can pick any popular random title but I dont want my first experience to be sad and disappointing. I want my first manhua experience to be enjoyable and memorable so that my view towards manhua remains positive and I can pick more titles in the future.

Basically I am looking for Seinen/Josei / Shounen demographic (NO SHOJO PLEASE). The most important thing is that it should have a story and that story should be interesting. Anything is fine from slice of life to fantasy as long as it is is really interesting and somewhat original. (No gag manhuas or the ones who doesnt have any plot or the ones who have too generic stuffs).

Even though I said anything is fine, I am more open to fantasy/supernatural /action/romance works. Ofcourse works which deals with chinese mytholigies are also welcome. If possible, please dont suggest titles where the protagonist is a dick head or too kind(saint like personality) who is always ready to die for others. I want it to be as realistic as possible in the provided genre(romance/ slice of life/supernatural/drama/fantasy/action ).
In romance works,I prefer mature relationships rather than boring and unrealistic relationships (sex scenes are fine provided they are plot requirements).
Intelligent/Mature works are most welcome. A good and clear art is always a plus point.
And yes please no yaoi/yuri/shounen-ai/shojo-ai.

Edit: Please NO gender-bender/SHOJO/ecchi/harem or works with annoying female leads (I am sure you know what I meant by that). Sorry forteAtrox for not mentioning this earlier.
I would really appreciate it if the work is actively scanned or is already completed.

In short I want best manhua for my first experience. (Asking for too much,right?)

Thank you.
shy

 1/2 Prince was quite enjoyable & The Legend of the Sun Knight is just super funny. I can't say the 'shoujo' label fits either one of these series to be completely honest...
Even though this one is shoujo, I have to say it learns more towards josei. The One
Not many chapters out buuuut No One Knows
If you ever feel like putting yourself in danger Chicken Cutlet Princess (it also has a sequel)

 Tower of God I wouldnt say he is to nice and would die for everyone. It has realistic feel in the situation the characters are in. Fantasy, Action, supernatural.

Tower of God is Korea therefore manhwa
Manhua is Chinese series.

 Provence and The One by LEE Nicky

Both are romance and shoujo, but IMO a mature josei-like shoujo. Provence is two volume, so a nice short starter. FYI, the protagonist shifts from one person to another between volumes. The One is just completely awesome, and you should read it right now. eyes

Edit: Sorry I didn't see that ForteAtrox already recommended The One, so consider this a strong second.

 Not sure, but maybe..

I think you might like Li Ren Man, despite it being a shoujo.

Infinity Game, School Shock, Show Me the Money are some of my favourite ones.

Saviour and The Ravages of Time are pretty good as well.

 Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried 1/2 Prince and it was really good even though I generally hate gender bender. I also tried other reccomandations but sadly shojo ones arent really my types. Sorry for for wasting your efforts on that part.

 I'd second School Shock, since it's like Full Metal Panic, just with the gender roles switched.
