   All three are stories about female emperors disguised as men. The first one features an old emperor who dies suddenly and leaves a will; the female prince disguises herself as a man to become emperor, and the male lead acts as regent to assist her. The second one is still being serialized; the female lead is weak, and the main plot unfolds slowly, as she has just recovered from her illness. The third one has the most romance elements and is also very good.

The female lead carries on her career while hiding her identity, and the male lead goes from being a supervisor, a regent, to a close friend. Each identity is more intriguing than the last. There are homosexual tropes, forced kisses after her identity is exposed, and the political and romantic storylines are pulling each other crazy. Every book is on the verge of revealing her true identity. It feels like an ancient Chinese version of Infernal Affairs. I won't say who's been driven crazy by them!
