   This is a must-read for any ancient Chinese romance novel focusing on political intrigue! The female protagonist is reborn and uses the world as her chessboard, with all living beings as pawns; she is the mastermind behind the game. The male protagonist is a war god prince with a heart for his country and its people, who later reveals his true colors, becoming cunning and ruthless, strategizing and plotting step by step. The two leads are both incredibly strong, possessing high emotional and intellectual intelligence, supporting each other in a captivating way! This book goes beyond palace intrigue and domestic power struggles; it weaves together crime-solving suspense, the struggle for the throne, national sentiment, brotherhood, the battlefield of officialdom, and conspiracies—a grand and intricately plotted novel.
