    This is a really good book; it's the best period military novel I've ever read. The male lead's love for the female lead is supportive and uplifting, and he has a lot of mature charm.

    Both books feature male protagonists who deeply love the female protagonists and fight against the system. In the first book, the male protagonist defeats the original female protagonist and ends up with his lover. In the second book, the female protagonist is the original second male lead's unrequited love, and both the original male and female protagonists awaken and rebel against the original plot. I've been following both of these novels while they're still ongoing; they're truly excellent.

    Before love, the male lead showed respect. He genuinely respected the female lead and sincerely saw through her. He gently dissolved her self-doubt and self-deprecation. It wasn't a passionate, dramatic love, but rather a subtle and pervasive intrusion into her life, like a frog being slowly boiled in water. Without her realizing it, she was already captivated by him.
