   This book is truly excellent, especially the scene depicting Lü Bu's hundreds-of-rounds battle with Sun Wukong for Diao Chan. However, Xue Baochai was undeniably too powerful; had it not been for Noah's outer-circle cheat and Noxus's Guillotine, that M4 six-times-magnification spray would have been fatal. But I was more struck by Zhuge Liang's words to the 108 monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain: "Young man, don't put on airs in front of your Brother Liang," revealing Zhuge Liang's indignation at the monkeys' three-hit kill. In short, the book has an interesting plot, a clear structure, and numerous foreshadowing elements. The fight scenes are immersive, and the character descriptions are very well done!

    A captivating period drama where the female lead is strong yet not overly idealistic; she doesn't go to the countryside, take the college entrance exam, or try to earn money to buy a courtyard house. The male lead comes from a top-tier military and political family for three generations and dotes on the female lead. She enjoys a privileged position in her husband's family, never having to contend with difficult characters, as her husband and in-laws protect her. A super satisfying read with a touch of patriotism.
