    Transmigrating to ancient Egypt + angst followed by sweetness + tyrannical captive love [eating melon emoji]. The male lead is not a virgin, and he has a harem and children from the beginning. It's a forced captive love story, so those looking for a strong female lead should proceed with caution. The female lead is lucid and constantly remembers her desire to escape. She also worries about the dangers of pregnancy and childbirth in ancient times; many of her inner monologues are very relatable.

    Reader note

    It's so good! It's the kind of novel that leaves you feeling empty inside after finishing it. The war-torn era, the opposing sides, the cross-cultural romance, and the fact that the female lead is from another world all along—so her emotions are quite fragmented—but in the end, she falls for the male lead's charm (he loves her so much, it's really not her fault). The male lead is wonderful; he's a love-struck officer. Although it's set in Germany during World War II, I think he's a good person. It's just a difference in perspective. He feels uncomfortable seeing the abuse of children and tries to stop it, even helping the female lead rescue Jewish children. I'm a bit drawn to uniforms (military uniforms, etc.), And I think the male lead is incredibly charismatic. The first few chapters might be a bit boring, but if you read on carefully, this book will surprise you. (Keep it up, author!) By the way, you can also see glimpses of China in 1940 in this book; it feels like a hidden theme that's quite intriguing. Seeing patriots returning to their homeland to contribute to its development, and witnessing countless martyrs sacrificing their lives, really stirs my emotions and evokes a deep sense of emotion. It's very moving. I hope everyone will enjoy this book.
