The dim starry river is only because I have not seen you. This book shows the journey of Ma Yunlu, daughter of Ma Teng, the governor of Tianshui, sister of Ma Chao, and wife of Zhao Yun, from a girl to a female general, and tells her love story with Zhao Yun. (This story employs a dual narrative: the romance unfolds when the male and female protagonists are together, while their growth and development, along with the historical events and wars, unfold when they are apart.) Most historical figures are covered in this book, but its unique feature is its female perspective, offering more insights and perspectives from a female viewpoint… It provides a fresh interpretation of the well-known stories of the Three Kingdoms period from a new angle. (There may be instances where the plot deviates from the timeline of either the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "historical records" for plot purposes; the overall direction is similar to the novel. Readers who are sensitive to this should proceed with caution.)

    Both books are worth reading! Fans of political intrigue, espionage, diplomacy, and military strategy shouldn't miss these! In the first book, the protagonist is initially morally coerced by Liu Bei, forced to help him escape a predicament. Starting from Pingyuan, he establishes a base in Xuzhou, defeats Lü Bu, and recruits his troops and strategists. Each character—Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu—has a well-developed and compelling arc. Later, they gradually occupy two-thirds of the territory, and every faction and character demonstrates sharp intelligence! The second book focuses on intelligence. Liu Bei's battles and city captures rely on the protagonist's intelligence advantage. Zhuge Liang isn't as divine as legend portrays; he also relies on the protagonist's intelligence to strike first and accurately pinpoint the enemy's weaknesses in every battle! Both books are highly recommended, with excellent plots and pacing. The characters are well-developed and three-dimensional. Updates are stable, one book has over 200 chapters, and the other is almost 100. Don't miss them!

    "I'm thinking about what I should do next. Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I've already come to this era, and it seems there's no going back. Although there are countless remarkable figures and glorious eras throughout the five thousand years of history, none of them are as captivating as the chaotic Three Kingdoms period. It was a great era in which ruthless heroes and treacherous villains coexisted, and heroes and petty scoundrels were intertwined."
