    Although it's not set in ancient times, it's still very good!!! Synopsis: The first book features a very cool female researcher as the female lead, and the male lead is her butler. The second book is a quick transmigration story with no romantic pairing; the female lead is a young general in another world. The third book involves a random character entering the story. The fourth book is also very good, so I won't elaborate.
