    The male lead is a young marshal, and the story features many couples: male-male, male-female, and female-female. The male lead, a young marshal, was neglected by both his parents from a young age. His father had a first wife, but he was very handsome, which caught the eye of his mother. She waited until his father's first wife passed away, then used her connections to force him to marry her. His father and first wife had a son and a daughter; the male lead also has a younger sister. As a child, the male lead was often bullied and beaten by his first wife's son. His mother loved his father very much and, fearing he would be troubled by this, and also feeling that his father favored his eldest son, she took it upon herself to suppress the abuse. His father deeply disliked this second wife, a fact his mother knew, but she remained steadfast. She loved her husband more than her children. The female lead is the adopted daughter of a warlord. Her father was an adjutant to the warlord, and the adjutant and the warlord had a close relationship. However, the adjutant died protecting the warlord during the Battle of Yuncheng. The female lead's mother also passed away two years prior due to illness. Therefore, the warlord took the adjutant's only daughter into his mansion, adopted her as his own, and gave her a new name while keeping her surname. The female lead is the male lead's salvation; everyone revolves around the eldest son, but only the female lead is willing to care for and cherish him. The second couple is male-male, Lin and Shen. Lin is an opera singer, and an exceptionally talented one. Shen is from one of the four great families, a pampered young master from a wealthy family. He is not in good health, but he attends every performance by Lin without fail, always reserving the center seat in the front row for Shen. The third couple is Zhang and Shen. Zhang is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Shen is a household name movie star, extremely popular. Her family suffered a tragedy; her mother was driven to death by a mistress, and her father married the mistress. Shen lived a life of misery. Zhang and Shen had known each other since childhood, but she had forgotten him. Zhang told Shen that he could help her take revenge, asking for nothing in return. If he had any wish, it would be that she could truly be happy in the future. The fourth romantic storyline involves the female lead Chen and Su. Su's background is pitiful. Her father is Mayor Wei. Wei was already married, but he still went and provoked Su's mother, Bai. Bai was a student who was expelled from school after becoming pregnant, and her family also abandoned her. When Wei heard that she was carrying a boy, he temporarily softened and found Bai a place to live, but later regretted it because he had a tigress at home and couldn't get rid of Bai. So he came up with a dirty trick and had someone defile Bai. Bai, unaware of the truth, thought she had wronged her husband and hanged herself. Her body was wrapped in a tattered straw mat and taken away by Wei's men, who dumped it in a mass grave. Su had been hiding nearby, watching. Wei was worried that if the problem wasn't eradicated, it would resurface, so he sent men to find Su and kill her. When the assassins found Su, she jumped off a cliff in desperation. Everyone thought she was dead, but in reality, there was a river at the bottom of the cliff. However, Su's right leg developed a problem, making it difficult for him to walk. He returned to his original spot and unexpectedly saw Wei celebrating the birthday of her son from her first marriage. Thus, the seed of hatred was sown, but he still couldn't accept it. He wandered aimlessly through the streets, but unexpectedly bumped into the female lead. He didn't notice a car behind him, and the car suddenly honked its horn. He was startled and fell to the ground. The female lead got out of the car and didn't blame him. Instead, she reached out and helped him up. At that time, it was raining heavily. The female lead was holding an umbrella, but she kept leaning it towards him, getting her own shoulder mostly wet. Su noticed this and was invited into the car by the female lead. She even gave him a very fragrant magnolia flower. From then on, Su always had a magnolia flower on his clothes and the handkerchief he carried with him.

Her younger brother is the only one who truly loves the female lead; he is dark and extreme, siding with the Japanese to win her over, and then betraying them for her sake.

    You might want to check this out; it has a different kind of mind-blowing plot with a cheat system. A different kind of warlord story. This one involves time travel back to 1900, and it's not just a typical light novel or a mindless wish-fulfillment story. It has cheat systems and exciting moments, with a gradual development and accumulation of strength. The focus is on infrastructure and farming, culminating in a massive army sweeping through the land later on. The early parts were a bit too bold, which resulted in me being temporarily banned from writing.

    This is a Republican-era novel set during the War of Resistance against Japan. The plot is novel, with the male and female leads, the second male and female leads, and the third male and female leads all fighting the Japanese in different ways… The male lead was originally a spendthrift playboy who was possessed by a "saint-type" transmigrator for three years. After finally regaining his body, he was forced to imitate the transmigrator's "perfect persona." Even more amazing is that he has a lucky charm buff; he stumbles upon enemy spies' secret meetings while drinking tea, and finds crucial intelligence while shopping. Everyone praises his uncanny foresight, but only he knows: it's all just pure luck!

To survive, I need status first, then power. I'll flirt, play the weak, and pretend to be weak while actually being strong. You all play dirty tricks when it comes to fighting for men? I'll do it openly! I'll eradicate his white moonlight from his heart bit by bit." So, when it comes to marriage and entering the bridal chamber, she's always the most eager. Relying on her beauty and wisdom, she carefully plans her moves, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and wins the young marshal's heart. With her own abilities, she helps her young marshal husband rise to the position of military governor of the thirteen provinces of Northern Liao. "I gave him a son and a daughter, and he actually wants to marry someone else?" Fine, let's get a divorce! Who's afraid of who? You'll regret it if you dare. The military governor silenced her with a kiss, sweet, soft, and domineering: "Once it starts... Don't even think about running away...?"
