Looking for books like She Was Reborn as a Treacherous Minister's Daughter, and Played the Role to Perfection. I really want a spirited, heroic female lead, like an ancient female general.

The writing is crisp, the plot is straightforward, and there are both humorous and satisfying moments… but these aren't the biggest highlights of this story. The best part is that while maintaining the "double virginity" premise, it gives the characters maximum realism.
It's really good! Historical romance novel heroines are either genuinely frustrated, or they endure hardship before retaliating (meaning they have to pretend to be frustrated first), or they're just overpowered and enjoyable. It's rare to find a novel that doesn't feel overpowered but still provides a consistently satisfying and enjoyable experience. This heroine is absolutely likable!
Having read so many stories about widowed sisters-in-law and younger brothers-in-law with similar themes, this one is truly unique. At the beginning, the female lead seems like a spoiled, arrogant, and domineering character, but later it turns out she has a hidden identity. Waiting for her true colors to be revealed... The female lead is definitely not one to suffer a loss; she's not weak at all, very realistic and down-to-earth. Even her arguments and fights are entertaining, haha.
The female lead's character is established right from the start—she's cool, decisive, and insightful. The scene where she uses her scolding of her brother to actually criticize the male lead and all men is incredibly satisfying. Later on, she consistently avoids being taken advantage of, is capable of taking things in stride, and is flexible and adaptable.
This book is quite interesting; the author's writing style is good, lighthearted and humorous, and the female protagonist is very unique. I just don't understand why the rating is so low. I'm giving it five stars to support the author; keep up the good work and don't let it falter!
Come and see! This is such a great story! The author is absolutely talented. It's incredibly amazing, I don't even know how to praise it enough. I laughed the whole time I read it, it's so funny! From the synopsis, I thought it was going to be a typical angst-filled story, but after reading it, I realized it's a fantastic comedy from the author. A super satisfying read! A super, super satisfying read!
The story begins with the male and female leads falling in love at first sight. The male lead shamelessly tries to marry her, but the realistic and clear-headed female lead doesn't reciprocate. Forced to work harder, he tries to curry favor with the new emperor. Just then, the female lead's family falls on hard times, and the male lead suffers a stroke.
At first glance, the writing in the beginning was interesting and well-written, but the relationships between the main characters and supporting characters were awkward. The male and female leads' emotions were both pretentious and crude, and the relationships between the brother, sister, and sister-in-law all had to start with a huge pitfall, which was speechless.
The language is humorous and witty, and the plot is unconventional. I like the female lead's personality, and the male lead isn't a yandere; he's both excellent and eccentric. It's not a super-satisfying read, but it has some delicate moments. The scheming and thinking aren't superficial. It's the kind of book I'll keep on my bookshelf, and surprisingly, the rating isn't high.
The male and female leads are a classic case of bickering lovers. The female lead has a very straightforward and outspoken personality, and she's quick-witted and perceptive. The male lead's pursuit was misguided, which displeased her. After he became a general and a marquis, he forced her to marry his sickly older brother.
