    I highly recommend this book. The female lead is truly a chivalrous and upright woman, and the story ends happily for both the male and female leads. Also, at the beginning, the female lead is named Li Wenxiu, which is a sequel to Jin Yong's "White Horse Gallops West" series, specifically the Li Wenxiu installment. The author's writing is superb, elevating the romance to a profound sense of national responsibility, which is truly exhilarating... Definitely worth reading.
