    1. The female protagonist, a general in her past life, carries a queen system in this modern world to fulfill her mission. She is strong, resilient, and seemingly straightforward, yet possesses keen emotional observation skills. The somewhat comical and silly male protagonist is cunning and powerful, the strategist who served her in her past life and is deeply in love with her. Both protagonists begin their lives in the entertainment industry, making them half entertainment and half military. They are patriotic and positive role models in the entertainment world, using their idol status to inspire the nation. 2. The female protagonist's sect and family are very warm and loving! She grew up in an environment of love! The original female protagonist wasn't overly idealized or overpowered; she diligently improved her strength. Because the original male protagonist had killed too many living beings, she killed him and ultimately ascended to immortality. 3. Refining divine pills, crafting divine artifacts, arranging divine formations, she is peerless in beauty and reigns supreme, becoming an unparalleled empress. With a single thought, mountains and rivers tremble; with another, mountains and rivers shatter. -- Many years later, in the heavens beyond, overlooking all things, she looks back on her past.
