    The first book is about the Three Kingdoms period. The female lead is a female version of Liu Bei, and the male lead is a transmigrator with a system. It's a chaotic battle of historical generals, and the beginning is good so far. It's worth reading! The second book is about a lord in another world who summons Chinese heroes and subjugates elves, dwarves, and other alien races. It's pretty good.
