   Reader note

   The first book is highly recommended! No romance. A humorous and enjoyable read, without any male-centric bias. Currently, the female lead is a lone wolf, her master is female, her pet is female, and her greatest enemies are her blood brother and parents. The female lead is incredibly shrewish and holds grudges, but all the highlights are for her, and all her connections are female. It's a strong female lead story; currently, the male characters haven't had any significant roles, and the reading experience won't make them seem particularly impressive. The second book is okay. The highlights aren't entirely for the female lead, and judging from the plot, it's not an all-female-centric story. It's more like a typical no-romance female lead story, a little better than those male-centric ones. It leans slightly towards the female lead. There are no disgusting scenes. Finding a strong female lead story in ancient Chinese literature is quite difficult.
