   Both books are very good. The first one features Su Ran (later renamed Lu Ran, but I prefer to call her Su Ran), a former assassin codenamed Yue, who later becomes a mercenary. It's a rebirth story with two strong protagonists and a touch of fantasy. The second one features Shu Lan codenamed Black Mamba, who is not an assassin but a mercenary, but they are still similar. It's a story of a strong woman and a weak man, which is a bit funny.
