Both were capable of handling external affairs and internal matters, only wishing for a peaceful and happy life together.

    This book is very good. Although it's set in modern life, the female protagonist is the Queen of All Ghosts. In her previous life, she was a general named Wen Xun, who fought alongside her left and right lieutenants, Yu Wenzhao and Fang Shixu. However, the emperor felt the Wen family threatened his position and, through the treacherous minister Pei Yuan, eliminated the female protagonist's parents and the left lieutenant, Yu Wenzhao. Upon learning this, the female protagonist massacred the palace and ultimately committed suicide. Moreover, according to modern records, Pei Yuan was a loyal minister. Some lines in the text truly shocked me, such as "The children of the Wen family quell wars and protect the country," "Yu Wenzhao only wishes to obey General Wen's orders," and "Wen Miyan, if there are countless reincarnations, then every time… I will go against the tide of humanity and find you precisely. It's not a coincidence, it's destiny." In short, it's a book I really enjoyed. The female protagonist is very happy in modern times; many people like her, and she has found her brother, the left lieutenant A Zhao/Chao, and the right lieutenant, Fang Shixu. Note: The female protagonist's name is Wen Xun, also known as Wen Miyan.

The female general is cute and aloof, which could be described as bland, but she is highly skilled in martial arts, intelligent, and has low emotional intelligence.
