    Both of these books are truly excellent, in my opinion. The first one, despite its low rating and ongoing serialization, is very enjoyable. The female lead is a regent of a country, but no one, including the male lead, knows she's a woman, and she's incredibly skilled in martial arts. The second book features a female lead named Xin Cangqu, a prince of a country, but no one in her country, including the male lead, knows she's a woman. The male lead is named Kunwu Jiongnuo, also a prince, and they are both very powerful. By the way, in the second book, the female lead's hair, eyes, and eyebrows are red, while the male lead's are white (if I remember correctly; I finished reading it a long time ago, so my memory of the plot is a bit hazy). Both books are written by the same author, although the author used a different account when writing *Four Divine Lords*.
