Zhao Yun: Marriage in chaotic times will only lead to disappointment, I won't marry anyone! [Martial arts-like, traditional ancient romance, Three Kingdoms fanfiction: The love story of Ma Yunlu X Zhao Yun] [1v1, no time travel, no cheat codes, no system, a match made in heaven, beautiful, strong, and tragic X beautiful, strong, and tragic single female lead, mutual redemption] Also known as: "The Legend of Yunlu in the Three Kingdoms", "The Unofficial Biography of Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms", etc. The lonely moon is only because I haven't seen it. The dim starry river is only because I haven't 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 young 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.)
