    ① The female lead is the Prince of Chang'an, the only prince in the country with a different surname. Leading 300,000 troops, she fights for her country and people, never suffering a defeat in protecting her homeland. Yet, she is a treacherous minister whom everyone, from commoners to nobles, wants to kill. This book does have a male lead, but the main focus is on the female lead, and the entire story is very friendly to those who love the female lead. It's better to make the male lead feel wronged than the female lead feel wronged. Of course, both are very good characters (but please, male fans, don't read this!). There are also other male supporting characters, each with their own merits. ② The male lead is the female lead's deputy general, but there isn't much of a romantic subplot. The main focus is on the female lead disguising herself as a man to protect her country. Her true gender is never revealed until her death, even her son only learns at the very end that his father is actually his mother... However, some readers find out along the way. This book is truly very impactful.

    This is a book that I feel only a tragic ending is possible. It's not just gratuitous cruelty; it's genuinely tragic because there's no clear resolution. The female lead has a strong sense of justice, and there's not much palace intrigue or domestic power struggles; it's mainly about political maneuvering. The female lead isn't a general; her brother is a tyrant, and she later succeeds him as monarch. I didn't cry after reading it, but it took me a long time to recover.
