    After watching the TV series, I realized it could be read as a completely new novel. I feel especially sorry for the female lead. I think she could be a character with no weaknesses, like Ming Xian, who doesn't need emotions. Having emotions leads to hurt, deception, and exploitation. Although the male lead was also using her for revenge, I felt angry. I think the male supporting character was also quite good. It's a story of two strong characters in a historical romance with political intrigue and a happy ending. The female lead is a clear-headed and powerful top-tier fighter and weapon maker, Mingyi, who initially indulges in philandering but later reforms for love, Ji Bozai. The female lead is poisoned and gets close to the male lead. The male lead is genuinely infatuated with women and uses the female lead as a pawn. Although the female lead was slightly attracted at first, she always stopped in time, but she still unknowingly fell in love until their first separation. Later, the male lead pursues the female lead. I learned from the story that the male lead's relentless pursuit was driven by his competitive spirit after someone rejected him (I feel the male lead is so hateful). During this time, he goes through a series of political intrigues, which makes the female lead forgive him and decide to marry him (the female lead is a pitiful girl; no one truly loves her, and what she gains and loses is equal until she meets the male lead, who she feels she can entrust her life to and give her happiness). However, the male lead keeps delaying. He feels that marriage will restrict his freedom, but because he needs the military strength of a city, he secretly marries the princess of that city (the male lead's inner monologue). Marrying her was merely a stopgap measure, mainly to achieve victory without a fight. He could then use the princess later and marry the female lead as his empress without her knowing. The male lead had meticulously planned the female lead's movements to avoid any encounter, but they did meet anyway. The female lead was beaten, and more importantly, she was emotionally hurt, leading to her disappointment in him. (As a young reader, I was also very angry at this point. The male lead didn't understand how important a wedding is to a woman; it's not just a formality, but a symbol of her aspirations for happiness. He was unwilling to marry the female lead initially, but later married the princess.) They parted ways. At this point, the male lead still felt he couldn't back down or apologize repeatedly. Only later, when he saw the female lead taking in many male concubines, did he panic and chase after her, but she had already lost trust in him. However, it ended happily. The writing was exceptionally good, so I empathized with the female lead and was quite angry at the male lead's behavior.
