After finishing it, I felt a void in my heart, and it took me a long time to recover. The author's writing is so beautiful; every word pierces the heart. He is the regent, above all others, while she is merely an unloved princess. Various misunderstandings push the two lovers further and further apart. This is an extremely tragic love story. He is blind and heartless, his devotion misplaced; she is heartbroken and cripples his martial arts until that other person dies, only then does she awaken from her dream. No one ever taught her how to love; she had always loved the wrong way. #ChasingHusbandInHell #FindingSweetnessAmidstShardsOfGlass #AllCharacterBadLikes #HugeAftereffect

Before their rebirth, the male and female protagonists were considered mortal enemies. The female protagonist hated the male protagonist to the core. Then one day, a fire revealed everything to her. Everyone pointed fingers at her and avoided her like the plague. Only the male protagonist gently said, "Star, don't be afraid, I'm here!" But the star was forever asleep, never to hear his love again, ending their story tragically. On the day of her rebirth, the female protagonist could no longer contain her burning heart. She rushed to the male protagonist and uttered the long-awaited "I love you!" Thus began a sweet prelude, with them constantly showing affection, their sweetness off the charts. Oh my, indescribable! You have to experience it for yourself… My goodness, do you know the weight of that phrase, "Star, don't be afraid, I'm here"?

This novel, *I Want to Rise Through the Wind and Reign Over the Stream*, features a kind and resilient female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a female physician in ancient times. She begins by saving lives in a military camp and, by chance, rescues the injured male protagonist. Initially, she wants to return to her modern home and tries hard to suppress her feelings for him, but things don't go as planned. Through their interactions, she senses his loneliness and hardships and falls in love with him. The male protagonist, a prince, appears cold and stern on the surface, but is actually deeply concerned for the world, possessing both strategic acumen and martial prowess! He is gradually attracted to the female protagonist's kindness and fearlessness, falling in love with her. Unsure of her feelings for him, he obsessively decides to sign a contract with her to keep her by his side. This arrogant man bows down to her. The entire story is a sweet and angsty tale, incredibly satisfying! (The novel also includes romantic storylines involving the female protagonist's friends whom she meets after transmigrating, similarly filled with sweet and angsty emotions.)
