The second book is one I'm currently following; many people have probably read another book by the same author, "Beauty is Like Wine and Poison," which focuses on a strong male and even stronger female lead. The third book has a lower rating, but I quite like it. The female lead is very good at disguising herself, though it has a few minor melodramatic elements. All three books are virgins, so you can read them without worry.
