    The story has very strong moral values. The female lead is a princess sent to marry a foreign ruler for the sake of her country. The male lead is a young general who secretly loves her. Their love blossoms along the way, a love that transcends the dangers of war. I especially enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster from their innocent beginnings to their passionate love. It's been a long time since I've seen such a delicately written emotional development. The male lead's heart is completely devoted to the female lead, initially loving her with restraint and forbearance. The contrast between his arrogant young general and his humble, loyal devotion to the princess is incredibly captivating. The nationalistic storyline is also well-written, grand and epic. The snow-capped mountains and grasslands scenes are rich in ethnic flavor. The author is humorous when funny and deeply moving when sentimental. I loved it.
