   The female protagonist comes from a military family. After her father and brothers died in battle, she and her widowed grandmother and sister-in-law led the army into battle, fighting for the people and the country with a strong sense of patriotism. The first few chapters mainly focus on the annulment of the engagement and the grandmother's plea to serve, setting the stage for the plot and background. Some readers might find it a bit formulaic, but!!! It doesn't dwell on these elements much. The annulment of the engagement is handled cleanly and decisively in just a few chapters, and there are absolutely no clichés after she leaves the capital! The scumbag male characters have very little screen time and are barely noticeable. The story is mostly about the female protagonist's shining moments, along with the various female generals. There will be both exciting and tearful moments. It's a tale of heroines, starting strong and going wild – a guaranteed investment!
