   The first book is new, so no one's reading it yet. Don't be fooled by her appearance; this is definitely a strong female lead story. The female lead has been disguised as a boy since childhood, excelling in both literature and martial arts. The main focus is on the plot and her career; she's a true powerhouse. She's 1.8 Meters tall as an adult and has built a powerful force in the martial arts world. There's not much of a romance aspect. The male lead is currently unknown, but I think he'll be her bodyguard, Huai Yun. Anyway, it's incredibly good; I highly recommend it! [Admiration][Admiration][Admiration]

    No romantic pairing, strong sense of national responsibility, and unparalleled intelligence. I truly felt sorry for the female lead. Perhaps only she knows how much she sacrificed for the country, and only she knows the pressure she endured. She lived her whole life as a "man," and no one knew that one of the most glamorous figures in the hundreds of years of history of the Great Min Dynasty was actually a woman. She protected the women and children in her family and countless people, but no one protected her, and no one even knew how much she had sacrificed for them.

    These two books are sister volumes; the second one is a sequel to the first. The author hasn't released a third book yet. It's a story about a woman disguised as a man throughout, a rebirth story, and no romantic pairing. The female lead has a really strong sense of the bigger picture; she's thinking about the well-being of the nation. I thought she'd be reborn before her father died, but the story starts with her being reborn into the Du family and facing retribution—it's not awkward at all! She's loyal and righteous. After reading this, I have no substitutes! [Crying][crying][crying]

    The female protagonist is a powerful figure who disguises herself as a man until her death. She is skilled in both medicine and poison, possesses a spatial ability, and is androgynous. Her combat prowess is off the charts, and she is a formidable force from the start, capable of slaying any obstacle in her path. She is neither a saint nor a naive character, and all her subordinates are highly skilled. The male protagonist is practically irrelevant. It's a sweet and non-angsty female-centric novel.
