   Reader note

   Both books feature women disguised as men. The first book's female lead is aloof and seems to suffer from emotional detachment (if I remember correctly, that's her name), and is a talented music composer. The second book is a rebirth story; the female lead was an undercover agent before her rebirth, but was exposed and sacrificed. After her rebirth, she enters the entertainment industry by chance. (Whispering: Personally, I think the second book is better; the ending of the first book is a bit rushed, but the plot of the first book is quite good.)

    ① The first book features a female protagonist who, after being reborn from a transmigration story, disguises herself as a man and enters a male dormitory. The other male protagonists, during their interactions, all believe they've become gay, making her a "stock-buying" type of character. ② The second book also features a female protagonist who is reborn, but before her death, all her disciples became powerful figures. Initially, the disciples didn't know she was the female protagonist, but gradually her true identity was revealed. ③ The third book features a female protagonist who was a voice actress before her rebirth, but was reborn into the body of a male prince's fan. To fulfill her dream, she enters the entertainment industry, where she meets her childhood sweetheart and becomes the group's darling. She also has various other identities. ④ I haven't read the fourth book yet. ⑤ The fifth book is a transmigration type, but it features women disguised as men. ⑥ The sixth book is truly amazing and highly recommended. The details are beautifully described, and the historical aspects are particularly complete and well-written. It's the kind of book that requires thought and forces you to learn about ancient Chinese history. Recommended for those experiencing a reading slump. ⑦ I haven't read the seventh book yet.
