It is truly a powerful and powerful woman who slowly grows up in the late period. The heroine is simply a hexagonal warrior. She can fight on horseback and govern the country when she is dismounted. She has no power and no power, but she relies on her own leadership. There are many male characters in the early stage, so please don't enter if you mind.

1: What impressed me most about this book, apart from the author's writing style, was the heroine's national feelings. She cried several times. The people she once protected were waiting for her return in another way. 2: What also upsets me the most is the second male lead, Jian An: For the sake of the heroine, he refused to become a Buddha for a hundred years, at the cost of the heroine forgetting him. : "She has forgotten me." "I would like to be your Bodhi tree." "The Buddha's Dharma will be removed from me, but the Buddha's Dharma is still there. But she will live a very miserable life without me." "The Buddha does not want you to take refuge, the Buddha wants you to be happy." "Mu Rujiu." "Huh?" "I will eat fast and chant Buddha's name all my life, and you will be mine in the next life."

After Nirvana and rebirth, she held the silver needle in her hand and returned to the day when she introduced poison to the scumbag to extend her life. Faced with the scumbag's expectations and his cousin's fake cry, Shen Nanzhi sneered and withdrew the needle: "I don't understand the poison. Since my cousin is so affectionate, why not let you bleed and cut the flesh?" In this life, she has torn away the disguise, mastered both medicine and poisoning, and raised dead people from their flesh and bones! Xiao Duo, the regent of Dayuan, was the living king of hell with all the power in the government and the public, but he was tortured by strange poisons.

The characterization is exemplary. The portrayal of the protagonist Sima Yi is extremely successful. It completely shows his transformation trajectory from a young man in Hanoi to an "old thief in Luoshui", and its complexity, contradiction and tragedy are vividly displayed on the page. His machinations, forbearance, coldness, and the remaining painful struggles deep in his heart (such as for Qiu He, Jiang Ji, and Zhang Chunhua) form a huge tension, making this character both awe-inspiring and sighing. The portraits are vivid, including Cao Cao's heroic guessing, Zhuge Liang's tragedy, Cao Pi's gloom, Cao Mao's determination, Jiang Wei's loneliness, Zhong Hui's arrogance, Deng Ai's perseverance, even Jiang Ji's grief and indignation, Xia Houxuan's calmness... Many historical figures have distinctive personalities, each with its own spiritual core and destiny arc, which together form a magnificent picture of the times.
