He was looking for an ancient romance novel where a woman disguised as a man.

It should be easier to find
In the story of the Liao and Song Dynasties, the female protagonist was separated from her sister because of the war. She fell to the male protagonist's manor to do some work and become an accountant.
Because of her beauty and some other factors, she disguised herself as a man and used a knife to cut a heavy scar on her throat-to create a fake Adam's apple.
The male protagonist was the manor lord who thought highly of her. There was a scene where the male protagonist and his new pet were having fun. The servant sent a pile of top-grade fabric, and the male protagonist asked someone to send it directly to the female protagonist. The new favorite was dissatisfied with the male protagonist and said,"Because he (the female protagonist) has made a great contribution to the village."
Later, the male protagonist and the female protagonist went out together. The female protagonist was nervous along the way. The male protagonist became more and more suspicious that he had a broken sleeve fetish and had many inappropriate actions towards the female protagonist. Once, they were attacked by bandits or something. The male protagonist was worried that the female protagonist insisted on staying with the female protagonist after arriving at the inn. The female protagonist thought to herself,"It's over."
At night, the female protagonist didn't take off her clothes when she slept. The male protagonist thought that she was injured and insisted on taking a look. The male protagonist knew martial arts, so the two of them tore at each other. Then, the female protagonist's chest cloth leaked out. The male protagonist thought that it was a bandage.(The female protagonist thought that if he found out, she would be eaten by him immediately.) When the male protagonist took off the "bandage", he saw that it wasn't a male. Then, the female protagonist was "executed on the spot".
Later, he found the female lead's sister in Liao Kingdom. Who has ever seen the final reunion?
I used to look for books in April, but now where can I find the ink fragrance? I'm depressed

Answer 1

I recommend a few cross-dressing romance novels to you.
"Imperial Uncle, the Princess Consort has climbed over the wall again": The female protagonist became a useless prince who was disguised as a man. She was eccentric, cunning, and intelligent, but she accidentally provoked a certain king who was rumored to be ruthless, cold-blooded, and domineering. A woman dressed as a man + a relaxed pampering text + a male and female lead.
"Qing Ben Hong Zhuang, Woman is General": The female lead was originally a fitness coach, but she inexplicably transmigrated in her sleep. In order to avoid trouble, she disguised herself as a man and mingled in the capital. Everyone only knew that there was a daughter in the prime minister's residence, but very few people had seen her. A woman dressed as a man + fictional history + a female general.
The female protagonist was reborn as the son of the Prime Minister. Once she returned to the capital, the hearts of many women in the capital were stolen by her. Female cross-dressing + house fighting + double strength.
I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
