This is a very good ~ short and medium ~ ancient romance novel that I almost delayed due to the title! It's not time travel, it doesn't have some nonsensical modern superpower space plug-ins, it doesn't have a bunch of oxox recipes/Chinese medicine formulas, and it doesn't have a dragging plot. It truly tells the story of a female young general who avenged the unjust deaths of tens of thousands of heroic Huo family black-armored troops. The story is compact and the unexpected plot changes attracted me to read chapter after chapter until the end. Keep the country's mountains and rivers safe, protect the country's people from living and working in peace and contentment, The sentiments of blood, affection, benevolence, and righteousness are soul-stirring and touching. When I see the end, I feel sad that I can't calm down for a long time...

After reading this author's works, I deeply feel that his skills are profound, his characterization of characters is profound, and his plot design is clever, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves. First of all, in character creation, the author fully demonstrates the charm of female characters. They are not only beautiful in appearance, but also possess firm will and wisdom. In the palace life full of intrigues, they relied on their intelligence to move forward bravely and overcome obstacles, becoming a beautiful landscape. This kind of shaping of female characters breaks the shackles of traditional concepts and allows readers to see the power of women. Secondly, in terms of plot design, the author cleverly uses elements of palace and house fighting to lay out the plot of the story vividly. In the power struggle in the palace, female characters not only have to deal with external pressure, but also face inner struggles. In this environment, they continue to grow and eventually become independent, strong women. This kind of plot setting allows readers to enjoy the pleasure of reading while also feeling the growth and transformation of the female characters. Finally, in constructing the background of the story, the author fully demonstrated the style of ancient society. From the etiquette and rules of the palace to the daily life of the people, the author has made a detailed description. This kind of portrayal of the social environment makes readers feel as if they have traveled back to that era and personally experienced the prosperity and turmoil of that world. In short, this author has shown a very high level of creation in the creation of themes of palace fighting, house fighting, and strong women, whether it is character creation, plot design, or story background construction. I believe that in future creations, the author will bring us more wonderful works.
