   Both are excellent historical novels without any cheat codes or systems. The first one features a female protagonist who suffers a lot; she did nothing wrong but was kidnapped by bad guys, separated from her parents, and has a heart condition that prevents her from living past eighteen. The male protagonist gradually warms and heals her, wanting her to live (I can't describe how good this novel is!!! It has a touch of fantasy). The second one has a very cunning male protagonist who essentially tricks the female protagonist into coming to him. On the surface, he's causing chaos in the court, but he's actually avenging the former crown prince. The former crown prince, with her virtuous and upright character, is a kind of salvation for the male protagonist, but after the crown prince is murdered, everyone in the crown prince's residence except for the crown princess's newborn son, whom the male protagonist protects and sends away, dies. The male protagonist endures his revenge with hidden resentment. The female protagonist is a warm and healing person to the male protagonist (this book has a strong sense of national sentiment and is also highly recommended!!!!).

   The female protagonist, Shen Yu, is intelligent and courageous. Although a noblewoman from the capital, she resolutely dons armor to fight and clear her family's name when they are wrongly accused. The male protagonist, Xie Tingzhou, is brave and resourceful, a deeply affectionate prince with a strong sense of patriotism. The supporting characters are also vividly portrayed, such as Pei Chunli and Li Zhaonian—one innocent and carefree, the other yearning for freedom. Their fates are tragic, and their love is especially precious against the backdrop of a chaotic world. The author skillfully interweaves love and political intrigue, making the characters more three-dimensional and well-rounded. Multiple storylines intertwine and the pacing is brisk and fast-paced. Whether it's the smoke of battle or the intrigues of the court, the scenes are vividly depicted, immersing the reader in that turbulent era.

    This is a historical romance novel, 1v1 with a happy ending, featuring an ensemble cast, political intrigue, and a steady growth trajectory for both the male and female leads. Each character is vividly portrayed; supporting characters have their own complete storylines rather than being mere plot devices. There are also evenly matched confrontations, making the story fleshed out and emotionally resonant. I also found this book very enjoyable.
