    The first book was exceptionally well-written, featuring a noble female lead who, as a young man, single-handedly stormed through Peach Blossom Valley to clear her father's name and pursue her beloved. The second book had a male lead who fell in love with a clan condemned by the world, but he persevered. There were so many thrilling moments! It's just a shame that it stopped updating later; a pity.
