    This is a super good historical romance novel! I was initially put off by the title, but I was really looking for something to read and started reading, and I got more and more engrossed! The author's writing is excellent, the logic is clear, and the style is humorous and witty! No clichés, no melodramatic plots, and no awful characters!!! Even the protagonist's special abilities aren't annoying! Highly recommend it to everyone! [Laughing emojis]

    This is absolutely my top choice for period dramas. It's captivating and original, featuring two powerful figures, both with real authority and status. It's not a story of pseudo-high-ranking officials who are nominally powerful but actually suffer various forms of resentment. This is a genuine, satisfying high-ranking official romance novel.

    Neither is the typical "strong female lead" type, and there are no exaggerated power-ups. The first book is about a female protagonist who transmigrates with twins to find the male lead who's serving in the military. It's more of a slice-of-life, heartwarming family story, focusing primarily on the main couple's plot, with other elements serving only as background. The original female lead doesn't become a villainous supporting character; she simply lives her life well. The second book is also about transmigrating and raising children—a must-read for fans of the genre, and a must-read for lazy readers. It's quite funny, and the original female lead doesn't commit any evil deeds. If you like it, go for it!
