   The first one is a new book with a very unconventional female lead. She'll likely steal the original male lead's girlfriend later on, and she'll probably corrupt all seven original female leads.

    This is a very interesting historical fiction story. The female protagonist's personality and actions, as well as the characters around her, are portrayed very well.

    All of them are non-CP (couple pairing), I highly recommend the first one!!! Except for the fifth one, the others are all good, you can read them with your brain, they are not particularly exaggerated or outrageous.

    All three books are unromantic. ① The female lead is solely focused on killing Japanese soldiers and traitors. ③ Some characters like the female lead, but she firmly rejects them all, and not just once.

    This book is absolutely amazing! The only downside is that it only updates two chapters a day, which is annoying; I can't save it for more than a few days before I can't resist reading more. 😰
