   It's not a dual-female-lead story; there is a male lead. The female lead is wicked yet intelligent, disguised as a man. In her previous life, she was the head of a family. The original female lead was reborn as the daughter of a concubine. In her previous life, she was a concubine who was killed by the emperor and was reborn, but her life is even more tragic. The transmigrated woman's mother had no legitimate son in her previous life, but in this life, she has a female lead disguised as a man (no one can tell she's a woman). The downside is that the ongoing series has many imperial examination scenes and is a satisfying, face-slapping story.

    This is absolutely amazing!! The female lead isn't a hollow character; she's incredibly cute, has her own ideas, is both open-minded and cunning, upright and cheerful yet shrewd—her personality is truly captivating. The male lead, I think, is a bit arrogant, with many little schemes, but he's also quite adorable. The author's pacing is excellent, and the atmosphere of the story is very engaging; those who understand will immediately appreciate it. One particularly praiseworthy aspect of this book is that although the female lead disguises herself as a man, there are never any unwanted advances from unsavory characters, no uncomfortable male perspectives, and no stereotypes. Instead, it focuses on the friendships of everyone, making it feel familiar, warm, and joyful—full of vitality. So far, the book leans towards slice-of-life, but it's very interesting and not just a mundane chronicle. Highly recommended!
