    Both of these are military-themed. The first one has a stronger military focus; the female lead is incredibly capable and cool, absolutely stunning! The second one is an entertainment industry novel, but both the male and female leads are soldiers. Initially, the entertainment elements might be more prominent, but the military aspects gradually become more prominent. It's a strong female and strong male story. The third one features a female lead who is a retired soldier, but not fully discharged and recovers quickly. It doesn't have as many military elements as the first one, but the romance between the leads is very sweet. Overall, both are highly recommended. However, if you prefer a stronger military focus, read the first one; it doesn't include interstellar elements.

    The story of a high-ranking military officer and his "grown-up" girlfriend is sweet and visually appealing. It's free of clichés and avoids the bizarre and melodramatic plot twists involving second female and male leads. The female lead also happens to be a graduate of a military academy.
