    Book 1: Princess, top scholar, general, cross-dressing for the imperial examinations, cross-dressing on the battlefield, and also the master of the Shadow Pavilion, holding the dark secrets of the country in his hands. He has a white tiger mount and mind-reading abilities, though he appears relatively infrequently. Book 2: Rebirth, from the apocalypse to the modern era, joining the army and fighting as a special forces soldier. The whole book is incredibly satisfying! My favorite teammate is Xiao Xiao, a crazy little loli sniper with superpowers. The male lead has a dual personality; the secondary personality will die. Oh, and by the way, the female lead will fight rather than talk.
