Give this book a try. It's not highly rated, but it's a small, unremarkable read. It's a niche assassin story with a smart and capable female lead. It's a fast-paced, action-packed read, half court and half martial arts world. There's no time travel, no rebirth, no cheat codes, and no simplistic plot points. The story is tight and engaging, everyone is intelligent, and it's humorous and witty. It gets better with each chapter; you won't want to skip any chapters and will want to read until the very end.

These books are all pretty good; the female lead is cold and aloof. 1. The female lead is a member of the Underworld Clan. 2. The female lead is the Palace Master of the Cloud Palace, and is extremely powerful. 3. The female lead is a priestess (originally an unfavored princess from another country). 4. The female protagonist is the ruler of the Yun Kingdom (modern story). 5. The female protagonist is the Lord of Cang Qiong Jian (the author's writing style is excellent). 6. The female lead is a prince (the male lead appears very rarely). I personally recommend five or six books.
