Love After Marriage + Woman Disguised as a Man + Battlefield + Chaotic Times + Nation-Building + Political Intrigue
As the sun sets and the moon rises, a green phoenix bears the imperial seal while white cranes circle the palace towers. Heaven's mandate falls to its rightful heir: a woman commands the forces of yin and yang, reforms the calendar, and brings peace to the four seas. From then on, the world belongs to women.
Lin Yue, a college student from the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the body of Gu Lingyue, the valiant son of a military family. Oh, wait...she should be called a valiant daughter.
Lin Yue can't understand how she went to sleep and woke up in the middle of a wedding ceremony.
At least, it looks like a wedding ceremony. There's a big red flower tied to her chest, and she's holding one end of a length of red silk. At the other end stands a fiery-red figure with a red veil over their face.
Never mind the wedding, she's the groom?
But the tightness across her chest and the emptiness below are exactly the same as before.
A woman playing the groom?
Is she dreaming?
Still groggy, she looks around, and a chill creeps over her.
Not a single person in the hall looks happy. Everyone wears an expression of grief.
This atmosphere is so bizarre. It's like she's wearing funeral clothes instead of wedding robes! Could this be a ghost marriage?
It's just like something out of a Chinese horror movie. And who's standing beside her?
Ahhh! She must be dreaming. She absolutely has to be dreaming!
Ye Zili hears the master of ceremonies call, “Bow to Heaven and Earth,” and is just about to kneel when she hears a sharp smack.
With the veil over her face, she doesn't understand what happened. Was the person beside her just slapping themselves?
Then she hears a voice beside her: “Ow! Damn, why does that hurt so much? Am I not dreaming?”
Ye Zili: ...Is this her future husband? Is he an idiot?
The writing is excellent, and the modern female protagonist, with a strong military background, transmigrates to another world. At 15, she's born with superhuman strength, ranking among the top in martial arts. The story begins with an arranged marriage that blossoms into love, and the young couple immediately go to war.
So far, there's really nothing to say. The writing is good, the plot is good, it's very enjoyable. Now I just hope the female lead, Gu Lingyue, doesn't become too masculine later on. It's just that the two female leads don't seem very compatible 🤦 Actually, it would be better if Gu's partner were changed to something like Su Yiruo. One is domineering, the other gentle and considerate.
The career development in this book is incredibly fast, like a rocket, while the romance is as slow as a wheelchair. I've read almost 100 chapters and realized the romance is developing at a snail's pace. Then I checked the total number of chapters—oh my god, it's almost over!
It's quite good. Both female leads are capable and outstanding women, neither of them are cheesy or overly focused on romance. Instead, their relationship develops through a gradual building of trust and affection as they work together for their country. The main and supporting characters are well-developed and relatable. The overall balance is just right, avoiding any off-putting moments and making it a comfortable read.
The battle for supremacy was quite enjoyable and exciting, but there wasn't enough romance. Are there any side stories featuring the two female leads getting closer? 💕
The career line is quite beautiful, but the love line... Well, personally, I feel it's a bit abrupt, and there seems to be a bit too little of a love line. The career line, however, is very beautiful and quite striking.
It's really good, so why are so few people watching it?
It's a great read! The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns. Both female leads are outstanding women, decisive and straightforward, and passionate. The writing is also excellent, concise and to the point. Highly recommended!
It's a good read, the writing is positive, and the values are sound. Reading more good books like this can enlighten people and bring them positive change.
Finished reading it, good, good, good
