Reader note

Food Guide Although reborn, it does not have any God's perspective 1. A non-traditional plot of cool novels, with dual male and female protagonists. The female protagonist and the male protagonist each have their own strengths, and both have some historical figures as references. The female protagonist is a civil servant and the male protagonist is a military commander. Both of them have strong abilities in their respective fields. 2. There is no competition between females and males [there will be no vicious female supporting characters, or affectionate male protagonists]. Each character in the show has his or her own partner, and every girl will have her own shining point. There are no scenes of house fighting and women framing each other. There will only be a struggle for interests in the power arena. Women can also rely on the imperial examination to become officials and enter women's schools. Restore the party struggle in ancient officialdom as much as possible. 3. Focus on the career line and weak on emotional drama. The heroine is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and doesn't trust anyone easily. The male protagonist is calm, but he actually has a lot of jealous tricks. The female protagonist is career-minded, and business and self-interest are more important than personal emotions. Her attitude towards the male protagonist has also changed from one-sided use to liking. The male protagonist is also career-minded. He has a crush on the female protagonist in the early stage, but later on, he and the female protagonist gradually develop into a double arrow. 4. Most of the settings in this article refer to the political pattern of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, with the four eunuchs in power, and the eunuchs, the central government, and the feudal towns competing for profits. Some of the content in the article is relatively sophisticated, but there may be errors and omissions. There will be places in the text where the book bag is dropped ~ for example, classical Chinese appears. 5. The male and female protagonists have sexual intercourse with both parties before marriage.

Originally, the male and female protagonists were Qin Hui's retainers, but eventually they turned against Qin Hui, escaped from the prime minister's house step by step, and overthrew Qin Hui.
