    I only read these three cross-dressing novels 🤤 (I've read them five times already). They're all rated 9.0 Or higher. 1️⃣ Interstellar novel with many males and females extinct. It features {new humans/beastmen/anti-ancestral humans}. Female lead: Jiang Da (Don't be fooled by the name... This novel is actually very good 😋 Male lead: ... I won't say, just read it yourself). The female lead starts out as a dormitory manager, and then it's a series of interactions with the male lead. The characters are very well-described, but the author describes her appearance as above average, not that she's particularly beautiful. The male lead is attracted to her by her personality, which I think is very good. I think the secret is revealed around page 160 (this is an approximation, I've forgotten a bit, but it's roughly around this point). 2️⃣ It's a cross-dressing campus novel. The female lead is Qin Mumu, and her younger brother is Qin Mu. Later, the female lead goes to school in her brother's place and is called "Qin Mu". The female lead has a disguise, and the male lead seems to be one of the dormitory guys. Chapters 260 and 298 are particularly noteworthy. Chapter 260 involves one of the male leads discovering the female lead's gender, while chapter 298 involves the remaining male leads. The female lead's gender isn't revealed until near the end. Her character development is excellent; she has several identities and is very cool and stylish. Her family is patriarchal, and her background is tragic, although her younger brother is fortunate. The third point concerns the female lead, Ruan Lingrou, who has multiple identities and an incredibly powerful background. Initially, she's being hunted by what appears to be a powerful family and hides in an academy, eventually sharing a dormitory with the male lead. However, the ending is somewhat surreal; the female lead kisses one of his childhood friends from an organization, but he later gets together with Tang Mo. While it's a 1v1 story, that's a weak point. The rest of the writing is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend the second one; it's incredibly good! 😋

    The only book on my bookshelf right now where the female protagonist is disguised as a man. A post-apocalyptic tycoon with a spatial ability transmigrates into the body of a prince's attendant, forced to disguise herself as a man. The author portrays the female protagonist as a decisive, independent, shrewd, and efficient attendant in the court, and a thoughtful, gentle, and kind "brother," "son," and "daughter" at home. In front of the prince, whom she falls in love with at first sight, she also reveals a slightly willful, mischievous, and adorable side. The author's writing is exceptionally delicate. Actually, I almost cried every time the female protagonist had a conversation with the original owner's mother—poor mother, and poor original owner. But the female protagonist's family has the most enviable family atmosphere I've ever seen in any novel. When the female protagonist's true identity is revealed, the author deeply moves the reader with the genuine emotions of all her family members, elders, and lovers who care for her. I've read it over a dozen times, and I even reread it during periods of reading slump. Highly recommended.

    A shadow guard novel. The female lead is strong, and the male lead (only) easily cries in front of her. He's a cute, puppy-like character disguised as a man, deeply in love with her, and the story involves a reconciliation after a broken relationship. It's a 1v1 romance. Warning: The female lead is ten years older than the male lead. Mo An, disguised as a man, served as a shadow guard in Luoxia Palace from a young age. Diligent, cautious, and loyal, he knew his lowly status and dared not ask for too much, only wishing for a peaceful life after retirement. However, he couldn't resist the ardent pursuit of someone, and that person was none other than his master, a celestial being. Life is never smooth sailing. Mo An and his master went through many trials, ultimately giving each other everything… Xiahou Yi was handsome and refined, growing up in luxury and pampered. He was lively and upright. Initially, due to his young age and lack of experience, he was somewhat impulsive, but he matured naturally with more experience. (This is also a coming-of-age story for the male protagonist.) He had always been very dependent on the shadow guards around him. As the days went by and the years passed, his feelings gradually changed. He thought he had developed homosexual tendencies and was furious at his own depravity—how could he have such thoughts about his 'brother'… until he discovered that his 'brother' was a woman… [laughs][what][pouts]

    Reader note

    To be honest, I haven't read many books about women disguised as men, but this one is quite good. Its biggest flaw is the somewhat lacking detail in the beginning; the female lead is portrayed as a bit reckless (though this doesn't really fit her personality). Everything else is quite good, and it doesn't drag. There's also "The Reborn Female General" by Qianshan Chake, which, despite its rather unappealing title, is also well-written. It also has a weak beginning and a slow pace, but the later plot becomes very tight and engaging.
