But the female lead always manages to veer off-topic in her responses, and the two of them banter like they're doing a comedy routine. One gets so frustrated she jumps up and down, while the other innocently tries to respond. Their dialogue is hilarious—her father is so angry he's practically spitting fire, but she can still seriously interpret his words in a completely different way.

    This book is absolutely fantastic! The female lead is the daughter of a noble family. When she was nine, her family suffered a tragedy, and she was rescued by the thirteen-year-old male lead (a prince), who took her into the palace and raised her personally. She grows up disguised as a boy, becoming an exceptional woman skilled in both literature and martial arts. The male lead knows it's impossible, yet he gradually falls for her despite his repressed feelings, becoming increasingly enamored and relentlessly pursuing her. The female lead's journey from naivety to gradual awakening is incredibly captivating, especially the suspenseful and drawn-out stages of their relationship [almost crying][licking the screen]. Their relationship evolves from sibling-like and mistress-servant to mutual unrequited love, ultimately becoming lovers and staunch political allies, working together to conquer the land. The author's writing is excellent, the plot is fast-paced, and it's a perfect blend of sweet and angst. Highly recommended! [Laughing]

    Try this book where the woman disguises herself as a man; it's a cultivation novel and it's alright.
