    The first book, only started publishing 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, sweet later, 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 gender. If you insist on being precise, I can't help it; you're absolutely right. 🤦🤦🤦🤦
