   The first book is incredibly satisfying; the female lead kills without hesitation. It's really good. Everyone should check it out; it's the best satisfying novel I've ever read. On average, one person is killed per chapter. The second book is hilarious. The female lead is great. The emperor is great too. Everyone dotes on her; it's especially good. If you like that kind of thing, give it a try. You won't regret it. I highly recommend the first book; once you start reading, you won't be able to get out. It's super, super, super good.

   This one fits the bill perfectly; the revenge is swift and decisive. I recommend it. The plot is incredibly fast-paced, the female lead is both cool and intelligent, and her revenge against the villains is masterful and strategic. The villains are swiftly dealt with, quickly and decisively. What's unique is that the female lead is also a psychological illustrator, an exceptionally talented artist. This is a first for historical fiction. The male lead is also amazing—a squadron leader who is devoted to the female lead. He even has the ability to spot scheming women and handles his own unwanted romantic advances without constantly bothering her. Aside from his fake older brother's family, the male lead's family is generally decent; there aren't too many awful characters to deal with. It's a story that's gentle on the breasts.
