    1. This one is really good. The female lead, Ji Luo, is the Heavenly Dao, incredibly strong yet gentle. 2. The female lead is a crown prince, aloof but with a heartbreaking past. Definitely worth reading. 3. This is a modern novel. The female lead transmigrates, disguises herself as a man to conduct scientific research, is aloof, and exceptionally capable. 4. This fourth book is by the same author as the first one. It's very well written and has connections to the female lead in the first book. She's also aloof, disguises herself as a man, and remains undetected. [Eating melon emoji][Please follow emoji] (These are all my favorites, what do you think?)

    This is amazing! Although it's not a story about a woman dressing up as a man, but rather a woman wearing a man's clothes, it's still so good!!! Especially the chapter in the middle where the protagonist buys the necklace around his neck, cuts off the diamonds one by one with scissors, and gives them to his fan. Then, when there aren't enough diamonds left, the protagonist also buys the plain ring on his finger and gives it to that fan!!!

    This one, an ancient Chinese drama about a woman disguised as a man, has a rating of 9.3. I've read it, and it's really good 😊. It mainly tells the story of two main characters. One is named Lantian, who is the protagonist. Near the end, the story gets a little angsty, but it gets quite sweet later on. He doesn't end up with the seven kings; you can imagine what happens next.
