   The first book is very good. The female lead gradually becomes stronger, overcoming many difficulties along the way. The male lead doesn't have much screen time in the early stages; the focus is on the plot. You can skip the romance later on if you don't want to read it. The second book is currently being serialized. It has no romantic pairing, is a strong female lead story, has a dramatic plot with many foreshadowing elements and mysteries, and the female lead has multiple identities and is exceptionally strong.
