This is a story about a powerful woman entering politics, with two strong leads and an even stronger heroine. An Ran was a r 45.9kReads8.6Score6k14d adds

   This book is excellent, getting better as you read on. The female protagonist climbs the ranks step by step, eventually reaching the top. It feels like the author got really into it; the logic becomes increasingly rigorous and the content gets better as you go on. The only downside is that the title and synopsis don't quite match the content; they don't seem to do justice to the main text. However, the main text is fantastic, getting better with each chapter. It has the best female protagonist career storyline I've seen on Tomato Book. The male and female protagonists complement each other perfectly; the female lead's political career and the male lead's military career are mutually reinforcing. The female lead is incredibly intelligent, and the overall attention to detail is excellent. It's the best historical romance novel with a truly outstanding female protagonist career path. Highly recommended.

As Chu Xingmian said, their relationship is mutually beneficial: she needs his abilities and connections, and he needs her power and connections. Not only is there no conflict, but it also allows each other to go further. Chu Xingmian's fingertips touched the folder, and her tone turned serious, her voice steady, but the end of her words carried an unmistakable ruthlessness: "This isn't enough. I either don't act, or when I do, it must be a fatal blow—I can't give the enemy any chance to breathe, or the consequences will be dire." Wen Jichen nodded, a hint of agreement flashing in his eyes, his tone still calm but with more certainty: "I understand.

    This book is super good! It's a military marriage with no stepmothers, and the female lead is intelligent and hardworking. She works hard to get a job after passing the vocational school entrance exam and avoids being sent to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era. This is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Books, with reasonable and precise depictions of prices, down to the cents and tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical romance combined with a farming/rural setting.

    Reader note

    These are all good, the writing is decent, but you have to follow them to see the updates. The female leads are all very distinct. The other characters are also good. Books five and six are the ones I've followed the longest; they're really good. If you like that kind of thing, you should check them out.
