   All of them feature women disguised as men, but none of them are time-travel stories. The last one is a time-travel story, but the protagonist becomes the sickly son of a treacherous official. I highly recommend the second one; the protagonist is secretly ordered to disguise herself as a man, dressed in red, and lives a flamboyant and unrestrained life as a young man. In the third one, the female lead disguises herself as a man and enters the Eastern Depot (a secret police agency) to survive; she's ruthless and suffers many injuries. None of these are mindless novels, and the female leads aren't innocent or saintly. The male leads are also very strong.
