    The first book is a war novel, with the female lead being a general. It mainly focuses on the female lead and her strategists' troop deployments and battles, with the strategists devising strategies for her. There are battles where the outnumbered defeat the many, as well as battles utilizing the terrain and weather. The author's writing is not obscure or difficult to understand; it's like reading a Three Kingdoms novel with annotations. In addition, you can see the author's delicate handling of emotions. The reputation of the second book needs no introduction. The main plot is buried very deep. Who would have thought that the beginning of the article mentions creating Nuwa, which is actually "Eternal Life," and that they have been controlled by "Eternal Life" and reincarnated countless times? The initial plot description is already the scene after Qi Xia resurrected them after their great war. It's like World War II has already been fought, but everyone has died, and Qi Xia has resurrected them at this point in time.
