    I personally think these two books are quite good! In the first one, the female protagonist transmigrates and is saved by Yi Liang, who looks exactly like her. To repay his kindness, she willingly becomes his substitute, disguising herself as a man to become an official and solve a series of mysterious cases. It's not a romance novel disguised as a mystery; the romance doesn't overshadow the main plot. In the second book, the female protagonist transmigrates into a book and becomes a minor county magistrate who bought her way into office. To survive, she disguises herself as a man and, under the guidance of the Ghost Master Bai Suyi and others, learns various skills, becoming incredibly adept at solving cases and catching criminals. There's no romantic pairing; the female protagonist and her small team progress together in a lighthearted and humorous way.
