    The first book is a transmigration novel, mainly about a powerful minister. The female lead has high martial arts skills, and the male lead is intelligent—a perfect match of a scholar and a warrior! The relationship between the male and female leads is also very straightforward, without any of the usual angst and drama; it's very heartwarming. The other characters are also great, and I really like this kind of story! The second book mainly tells the story of a prince and a general, both skilled in martial arts and intelligence. It's also about political intrigue. The male lead has liked the female lead for a long time, and later they become very committed to each other. It's from the male lead's perspective—a secret crush that blossoms into love; from the female lead's perspective—an arranged marriage that develops into love. It's also very good! The third book features male and female leads with both high martial arts skills and intelligence. It's quite long, and the cases are very interesting. The male lead falls in love first and treats the female lead very well. The female lead is skilled in medicine, solving cases, and fighting—a perfect combination of abilities that makes it very enjoyable to read! The fourth book mainly focuses on the male and female protagonists working together, which is also very sweet. Both the male and female protagonists have high intelligence and combat skills, and they trust each other. There are no messy relationships between them. It is a pure story of working together, without any warm or beautiful moments.
