   Bao ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ You can check out these two books. The female lead is disguised as a man in both, and the plot is okay, not too long. The second book features two strong female leads, while the first one doesn't. The female lead doesn't disguise herself as a man in certain dimensions, such as the mermaid dimension 😉. In the first book: the female lead inherits the Jieyou Pavilion and becomes its new head. Calling her the head is a bit of a stretch, but there are actually only two people 😂 to be precise, one demon and one fox [laughing emoji]. They're always incredibly busy [laughing emoji] and have no time to rest. To help those filled with resentment who can't be reincarnated, the female lead goes to great lengths.

    Reader note

    A shadow guard novel. The female lead is strong, and the male lead (only) easily cries in front of her. He's a cute, puppy-like character disguised as a man, deeply in love with her, and the story involves a reconciliation after a broken relationship. It's a 1v1 romance. Warning: The female lead is ten years older than the male lead. Mo An, disguised as a man, served as a shadow guard in Luoxia Palace from a young age. Diligent, cautious, and loyal, he knew his lowly status and dared not ask for too much, only wishing for a peaceful life after retirement. However, he couldn't resist the ardent pursuit of someone, and that person was none other than his master, a celestial being. Life is never smooth sailing. Mo An and his master went through many trials, ultimately giving each other everything… Xiahou Yi was handsome and refined, growing up in luxury and pampered. He was lively and upright. Initially, due to his young age and lack of experience, he was somewhat impulsive, but he matured naturally with more experience. (This is also a coming-of-age story for the male protagonist.) He had always been very dependent on the shadow guards around him. As the days went by and the years passed, his feelings gradually changed. He thought he had developed homosexual tendencies and was furious at his own depravity for liking his 'brother' like that. ... Until he discovered that his 'brother' was a woman…
