    I enjoy reading historical fiction but dislike palace intrigue; I like historical romance novels but prefer female protagonists with their own abilities; I like handsome male protagonists in historical romance novels but don't accept those who are arrogant at the beginning but become sycophants later. In summary: 1) Zhou Xiaoshan's secret serves as the suspense thread running through the entire story. The master of disguise adds a touch of liveliness and agility to the bloody world of martial arts. The stingy male protagonist is a breath of fresh air for those who have read many historical romance novels. Sisters, go for it, it's worth reading! 2) A woman disguised as a man, so much so that it's incredibly difficult to change back. She's a petty thief, a gambler, and a notorious playboy—basically the leader of all playboys. And yet, she's forced to take the imperial examinations and manipulate the court. Is it the corruption of the court or the decline of morality? In short, it will definitely make you laugh! 3) You can tell from the character design: a former princess paired with a fake monk. Once a princess becomes part of the previous dynasty, she must have a tragic past and a tragic story? No, she doesn't! Once a monk gets into a flamboyant mood, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, capable of scratching at people's hearts. He knows all sorts of tricks and can talk a mile a minute!
