   A different Water Margin storyline, leading troops to resist foreign invaders and avenging the Jingkang Incident—it might not be considered particularly outstanding! But the protagonist is humane and relatable, making it a good book worth adding to your bookshelf. The overall message is uplifting and passionate; even the villains are intelligent, mainly evident in their battles against the Jin army.

    He was upright and incorruptible, a pillar of the court praised by the emperor; she was gentle and virtuous, a capable homemaker, and a recognized virtuous wife in the elite circles. But who could have imagined that beneath this seemingly gentle exterior lay two transmigrated souls from a post-apocalyptic world and a alternate universe! Even more bizarrely, as time passed, the original bodies of the Lu couple quietly awakened, drawn by instinct. Their souls were forced back to their original bodies, and from then on, they both possessed dual identities. On the surface, they were the glamorous Lu couple; secretly, they were the mastermind behind an untraceable assassin organization and a brothel madam! The story begins with a mess, a prelude to fleeing famine; penniless, friendless, and without status, the two were forced together. To the outside world, they were ruthless and calculating rulers; to the inside, their tenderness was reserved only for their family. Initially, they secretly competed, but in their daily interactions, the seeds of pure love quietly sprouted. A couple from another world inherits the Lu family's harem of beauties: the eldest is simple-minded, the second cunning, the third sly, and the fourth lazy; all three daughters are pregnant and have run away… The political landscape shifts dramatically, with imperial suspicion and the old guard's backlash looming. This cunning couple navigates the open and covert worlds using their dual identities, vying for power with powerful families on one hand, and fighting the emperor for pawns on the other, all for their daughter's happiness. Hypocrisy is their mutual protection; power is a necessity for survival. The couple, leading the Lu family, vow to break free from the shackles of fate!
