    It's really good!!! The female lead disguises herself as a man, and both the male and female leads are powerful figures. The female lead's strength is on par with the male lead's, and their fate is sealed. The male lead is incredibly doting! The plot is very exciting!!! But there are also a few slightly angsty moments. Highly recommended!!!
