   Then you must read this book. It is a proper Machiavellian novel. There is no rebirth or time travel. The heroine has an unparalleled appearance and conquers the country. She is not only powerful in martial arts, strategizing, but also brave and strategic. She has the dual identity of a general and a princess. The male protagonist is unparalleled in beauty and is a prince. He is cold and sinister and domineering. The emotional line between the two is very interesting. The plot is the main part and the relationship is supplemented. There are many adventure experiences in the book. It is as exciting as Tomb Raider Notes. The unique plot is worth reading!
