    Reader note

    The first book features a male protagonist who is the eldest grandson of the emperor and a female protagonist who is the daughter of a military family; it's a rebirth novel with a strong older woman/younger man romance, and it's particularly good. The second book is also a rebirth novel; the female protagonist divorces her husband and then marries the crown prince. The third book features a female protagonist who divorces her husband and gets together with the Prince of Beiyuan, becoming a female general. Many women admire her. All three books are quite good and I recommend them.
