   Jiang Qian, a woman who transmigrates from another world, is forced to marry by her cousin, but she resolutely marries Han Shiguo, a military officer who has been jilted by her. Although the book does not explicitly mention "pushing her into the river," the scheming and betrayal between the cousins runs throughout the story, and the sweet romance of the military marriage is perfectly combined with the face-slapping plot.

    The first book avoids clichéd tropes like awful relatives or mistresses. The family relationships are warm and the overall scope is broad. While it leans towards an idealized era, it's very enjoyable overall, showcasing the efforts of soldiers and researchers striving for a strong nation. Each character is vividly portrayed, not overly sentimental, and the story unfolds gently and steadily. A top pick! 😳 The second book features a female protagonist who travels from interstellar space to the old era and lives in a technologically advanced interstellar nation. The third book features a career-driven female protagonist; her special abilities are merely a bonus. She runs a personal shopping service, essentially a middleman making a profit ('▽'), but it's also very good.
