The story is set in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there aren't many irrational romantic entanglements; it's just a group of people working together to achieve their goals—very exciting! PS: Every character is very vivid. There are some romantic subplots, but they're not extensive. The male lead is the martial arts expert, and the female lead is the intellectual one.

    This author's other novel, "Live Stream: The Host Plays the Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Character," is probably on hiatus, so I can't recommend it directly. However, the first world and the second world are already completed, and they perfectly meet the poster's requirements: the protagonist is a crane lord in literature and a young general in martial arts, both being people of great loyalty and righteousness. I cried so much.

    This is a historical fiction novel, not a traditional babysitting or romance story, but rather the story of an empress's growth (starting from childhood). It aligns with the historical context and explains historical phenomena and terms, popularizing knowledge without being pretentious. The author demonstrates unique insights and perspectives on social and historical development, such as imperial suspicion, the relationship between ruler and minister, and the divide between nobles and commoners, as well as the portrayal of women's rights. The author's thinking is particularly broad, avoiding many pitfalls of female-oriented historical fiction influenced by "pampered wife" novels. There are no clichéd Mary Sue plots where the female lead claims to have no romantic partner while high-ranking officials and handsome men have one-sided crushes. It's not mindless wish-fulfillment (for example, soldiers bowing down to the protagonist, historically renowned ministers serving the country with utmost dedication, and villains committing all sorts of evil deeds). Nor is it artificially made to be less intelligent (saints and handsome men calling the female lead "Your Majesty" upon seeing her, and ministers and emperors showing no distrust towards each other).
