   Tan Xin and Hong Xiu are absolutely amazing! They were originally one of the many secondary couples, but Hong Xiu is just too cool. She's the leader of the God of War sect, the strongest fighter below the gods, with unparalleled martial prowess, but while her combat skills are maxed out, her life skills are zero. (That's a kind of endearing contrast.) Tan Xin complements Hong Xiu perfectly; while her martial arts aren't as strong, she's incredibly intelligent. They don't have many scenes, but their pure love is genuine. (Warning: This book isn't GB. The couples mentioned above only have limited screen time; the main storyline is primarily non-romantic. Those interested can check it out.)

    Both of these are books I consider to feature strong female leads and weak male leads. The first is a quick transmigration story where the protagonist transmigrates into the body of a concubine who kills her lord. Each time, she manages to save her son and take the father's life. Her life motto is: "I don't trust men; I only trust myself." "I love myself, forever grand and steadfast." The second book features a protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a crown prince. At the beginning, a handsome man appears, but he secretly plots to kill her. Sorry, the crown prince is hers, and so is the empire.

    The first two books feature female leads with higher IQs than the male leads, and what's commendable is that the female leads don't serve the male leads; they all serve the country, with the male leads silently supporting them while guarding the borders. 👍👍👍 The third book features a female lead who awakens her superpowers in the apocalypse and travels back in time. The male lead is initially portrayed as handsome, strong, and tragic, possessing a transformation mode. Even after transforming, he can barely hold his own against the female lead for a few rounds. However, aside from the female lead, his combat prowess is among the highest in that era. 🤭🤭🤭
