    This modern military marriage novel is quite good in my opinion. It's not exaggerated; the characters are well-matched, there are no naive and innocent characters, and no weak, pitiful, or helpless ones. The female lead is excellent, and the male lead isn't spoiled or arrogant. He doesn't choke anyone or engage in any dramatic outbursts. Both leads are articulate, there are no misunderstandings, and the characters are generally quite intelligent. It doesn't overly portray officers as superhuman; it's just a normal military life. Although some parts are poorly written and slightly awkward, I still quite enjoyed it. Compared to many mindless and nonsensical plots these days, this one is much better.

    ① No need for much introduction, it's a classic beyond compare. Based on the novel "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" starring Huang Jingyu and Li Qin, the novel has a much better feel than the TV series. ② A tough, stubborn man with a foul temper versus a beautiful TV director who can handle tough guys. The flashbacks make it a little confusing at first, but it gets incredibly sweet later on. ③ A semi-military novel where everyone has a story, the plot doesn't drag. I especially love the male and female leads, particularly the female lead—she's simply amazing, both beautiful and cool! [Admiration]

    Books 1 and 2 are military romance novels featuring rebirth, while books 3 and 4 are military romance novels set in the civilian era. The first two feature female protagonists who are reborn, changing their tragic past lives and gaining a different destiny. Books 3 and 4 are military romance novels without time travel or rebirth, and the female protagonists don't have any special abilities; they are simple, slow-paced stories of military romance. Highly recommended!
