   This is a historical fiction set in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, featuring multiple female protagonists. However, the female leads are not just decorative; they have complex relationships with the male leads. The author's writing style is peculiar, specializing in vivid and delicate descriptions. The only downside is that the author has a fastidious streak, preferring young girls and refusing to write about Cao Cao [cool]. Currently, the story revolves around a fierce battle in the Hexi Corridor. Worth reading.

   The protagonist has a system, the female lead isn't annoying, and the villains aren't stupid; the only downside is the pacing is a bit slow!
