   The first book was only released on New Year's Day! It's a female-to-male transmigration cultivation novel with two male protagonists, initially 1vN, later 1v1, angsty at first and not sweet at all, with many plot twists. The second book is a prequel to the first, also a female-to-male transmigration cultivation novel with two male protagonists, 1v1 pure angst, finding sweetness amidst the shards of glass. Don't worry about the tags and details; male body, female soul—it's inherently difficult to define the exact gender. If you insist on being pedantic, I can't help you; you're right.
