    These three books are all ancient romance novels. The first book incorporates the revenge and rebirth tropes, and it's written by the same author as the second book. The female lead is stunningly beautiful and a little bit cunning. The male lead was a war god in his past life, and now he has many identities, though he's a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The second book is almost finished; we're mainly writing the side stories. The female lead is incredibly beautiful, a little cunning, and also extremely cute—a killing machine. She has a powerful background. The male lead is a prince, highly skilled in martial arts, and also has a formidable background. The third book features everyone else being reborn, except for the female lead. However, the female lead is incredibly cute, though there's a little bit of angst involved. Those who sought revenge against her were ultimately moved by her kindness. These are all very good books; you can check them out if you're interested.
