I recommend "Peach Blossom Beauty Ballad". This is an ancient romance novel with a classical fictional style. It has martial arts elements and mainly tells the love story between the two female leads. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

The more realistic TL novels usually involved issues of gender identity and gender roles, and they needed to pay attention to issues such as gender equality and gender role norms. Here are some examples of TL novels that might fit this definition:
1 "Why the Silent Flute"
2. Poisonous Bastard Daughters
3 "Thousand Bones of Flowers"
4. Chu Qiao's Biography
5 Ode to Joy
"The First Half of My Life"
The characters in these novels usually had complex gender identities and relationships, involving gender identity, gender role norms, family, marriage, children, etc., while also exploring human nature, emotions, growth and other topics. However, it should be noted that the TL novels were not necessarily about women's self-improvement, independence, and strength. Instead, they focused on gender identity and gender equality.
