   Highly recommended! This is a female-centric novel. The female lead is incredibly capable from the start—a research genius. Due to some family issues, she was sent to the countryside. Not wanting to work, she developed some inventions and other projects, which caught the attention of some influential figures. She's also incredibly skilled in martial arts; even the male lead might not be able to beat her. Later, she joins the army for various reasons, showcasing both her intellectual and physical abilities. She single-handedly supported her family during that era. Interestingly, she has a terrible sense of direction and can easily get lost, which is hilarious. Her only wish is for her father to be reinstated so she can retire and live off her parents. She has no concept of responsibility, only wanting to rely on her grandparents (grandfather, brother, nephew). It's fantastic, a great read, definitely worth watching! Highly recommended!!!
