The female lead's dream is to join the army (Yinzi is super awesome!). I originally just wanted to skim through the two million-plus words, but I got hooked on the plot. Yinzi is amazing, I love him! And the author is really witty and hilarious. (Strong male and strong female leads) The second book is my absolute favorite ᥫ᭡ Who knows? The female lead is a dual expert in law and metaphysics. She uses the law to solve things above the law and metaphysical problems below the law. The female lead often explains metaphysical concepts with science in a very logical and engaging way, which is really interesting. The plot isn't too complicated either. I highly recommend it to sisters who don't like to think too much. (Strong female lead) Both of these books feature intelligent main characters and are super satisfying reads 😎
