    Reader note

    This one fits the bill perfectly, except that the male and female protagonists infiltrate the Kuomintang later on. If you don't want to read the latter part, you can skip it; the earlier anti-Japanese war scenes are quite good. After finishing this novel, you'll feel like you've watched a thrilling, passionate, exhilarating, and patriotic spy thriller. It's truly a great read. The author's characters are rich and well-developed, with both positive and negative characters possessing duality. There are no purely good or purely bad people. The main story revolves around patriotic underground Communist Party members saving the country during the Republic of China era. Specifically, it tells the story of the female protagonist joining the underground Communist Party because of a "cake," and together with the male protagonist, they infiltrate the 76th Special Agent Organization and the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau as "multi-faceted spies." I want to preface this by saying that if you don't like any romantic subplots, I suggest you don't read this. If there are couples and you really enjoy romance, I also suggest you don't read this, because there aren't many romantic subplots. Also, if you like wish-fulfillment stories with characters having a space-time advantage, I suggest you don't read this. The female lead doesn't have a space-time advantage, but she does have some non-extraordinary advantages: enhanced memory, agility, and increased strength. And these aren't exaggerated effects, which makes it more realistic, more interesting, and better highlights the female lead's character. It allows her to stand out among a crowd of people who rely on their intellect and mentality. You have to remember, this is a spy novel. Adding a space-time advantage might be convenient, but it would also make it less interesting. Spy novels rely on intelligence, and external advantages can actually hinder the performance of those intelligences. The female lead is truly a patriotic, brave, and grateful character. She speaks three foreign languages, has a photographic memory, and is both innocent and intelligent. From her initial meeting with "Mountain Eagle," her wisdom, courage, and composure under pressure are evident. She can see beyond appearances to the essence of things, making her a truly chosen spy. Although she transmigrated from a peaceful era to this chaotic world and is initially a naive and somewhat naive college student, her convictions are incredibly strong. When it comes to her country, she can overcome all fear and dedicate herself wholeheartedly to serving her nation. She's a very upright person. The funniest part is that all three parties thought she was naive and easy to control, essentially sending her on a mission within a mission, instantly elevating her status. It's also worth mentioning that the female lead is a character who grows and develops, so don't expect her to be incredibly capable from the start. You might not even be able to do as well as her in that situation. She needs time to grow and gradually become stronger. The male lead is also a very good character—upright, capable, and her strongest support. He's also a virtuous husband who treats her very well; you have to read the story to experience it for yourself. This novel not only features a career storyline but also a romantic subplot. The male and female protagonists are like-minded revolutionary comrades whose revolutionary friendship naturally evolves into love. The romance doesn't feel forced or contrived; the overall tone remains focused on the revolutionary cause. It avoids sacrificing emotional depth for the sake of the story, making it feel like a mission log. This is a truly excellent work; the career storyline is the main focus, supplemented by the romance to balance the oppressive and heavy atmosphere, without sacrificing the greater good for the less important aspects. The novel has an open ending, with the epilogue continuing the mission from the previous chapters. However, the epilogue also has an open ending, hinting at the capture of another spy. Many felt the ending was rushed, but this is precisely the characteristic of an open ending—it doesn't provide a predictable conclusion, giving readers more room for imagination and adding depth to the story. The author's writing is truly excellent. With further refinement of the content and writing style, and a greater emphasis on detail, the novel could easily be adapted into a TV series. Casting popular stars would guarantee a huge hit, given the compelling premise: a time-traveling female lead and espionage elements. This novel is best read slowly; otherwise, you might not understand some parts, and the characters' identities are somewhat complex, as is typical of spy fiction. While watching a TV series might not be so complicated, this is a novel, so it's best not to skip around. Okay, enough praise; words are inadequate. Let's get to the main point. I read this novel like a TV series, imagining the scenes in my mind – it's very engaging. Don't be swayed by the comments; don't just believe everything you hear or assume things. Think about the historical context and the characters' backgrounds. Many seemingly illogical points in the comments actually had their place in the era. Try to see things from the perspective of the characters and the story, not with modern ideas. Don't just look at the surface, and don't overcomplicate things or get too hung up on them. That's all I have to say. If you really can't read it, don't force yourself. If you're just looking for entertainment, don't bother. This novel isn't suitable for judging based on a single reading. Good writing will find its appreciator; a gem won't remain hidden forever.

He's decisive and ruthless, neither doting on his sister nor any other woman; he's all about women, but no female lead. He doesn't falter at the sight of women, doesn't become dim-witted, and doesn't shy away from them. He's a breath of fresh air.

    This is a non-traditional, fast-paced war novel without a system. The original protagonist transmigrates into the world of "My Chief and My Regiment." It's from the male protagonist's perspective, with no romantic pairing. It's almost 200,000 words long, with stable updates—two chapters a day. The author is very reliable and won't easily stop updating. Highly recommended! It's absolutely fantastic!!! [Sending hearts][Sending hearts][Sending hearts][Laughing][Laughing][Laughing]
