   ① After her rebirth, she only wanted to stay away from the obsessive and violent man, but fate had already bound them together. From a pair of "bickering lovers" who initially distrusted each other, to unknowingly falling in love, the misunderstandings of their past lives are gradually revealed—② This ancient romance novel perfectly fits the "Sister-in-law, open the door, I'm your brother" trope! The male lead is the cutest tsundere I've seen this year, bar none! He's verbally abusive, but his actions are fiercely protective of his wife; even feeding the fish is like throwing a hidden weapon—the contrast is incredibly endearing. ③ The female lead, whose past life was tragic, is reborn and approaches the male lead to protect her family, but gradually discovers his deep affection during their time together. There's even a surprise—the child is also reborn with memories, making up for the regrets of their past life. Delicate and touching.

The dim starry river only because I haven't seen you. This book shows the journey of Ma Yunlu, daughter of Ma Teng, the governor of Tianshui, sister of Ma Chao, and wife of Zhao Yun, from a young girl to a female general, and tells her love story with Zhao Yun. (This story employs a dual narrative: the romance unfolds when the male and female protagonists are together, while their growth and development, along with the historical events and wars, unfold when they are apart.) Most historical figures are covered in this book, but its unique feature is its female perspective, offering more insights and perspectives from a female viewpoint… It provides a fresh interpretation of the well-known stories of the Three Kingdoms period from a new angle. (There may be instances where the plot deviates from the timeline of either the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "historical records" for plot purposes; the overall direction is similar to the novel. Readers who are sensitive to this should proceed with caution.)
