[The main story is told in third person]
The war had just ended that year when His Majesty asked me if I had ever regretted personally giving up the position of empress.
I undid my clothes and showed him the many mottled scars covering my body.
Beneath the cold moon over the mountain pass, amid flashes of blades and rivers of blood, I stepped over the corpses of enemies and old friends alike, climbing step by step to where I stand now, guarding the realm and protecting its people.
This body belongs to me alone. It can face blades and axes, but it will not be offered to a ruler.
Flowers bloom across Mount Kunmo by the Blackwater River. Buried there are those we once knew, some killed in war, others by imperial power.
You have the four seas. I have peace.
We will never be alone.
In short, this is an over-the-top story about a little beggar who disguises herself as a boy to get a meal and sneaks into an army camp. She eventually becomes a renowned general, protects her country, overcomes the corrupting influence of power, and stays true to herself.
Mad, scheming female general & bold, haughty little prince
A few things to know:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, each other's first love, devoted to and constantly bickering with each other, each other's beloved person.
2. They are a complementary couple, and neither is the other's subordinate. The female lead needs to grow in the early story; she won't immediately slaughter her way through everything. The male lead is the emperor mentioned in the blurb, but he hasn't ascended the throne yet.
3. Includes elements such as "cannon bombardments, homemade gliders, and over-the-top Mary Sue tropes." The customs are a hodgepodge from an imaginary dynasty. This is pure fiction, so don't take it too seriously.

He gave himself to me, and could no longer practice the superior martial arts he had dreamed of mastering;
He betrayed the entire righteous martial world, going from a gifted young celestial master to a laughingstock and a slave of the demonic sect;
Covered in blood, he knelt before me and clung to me, begging me not to keep making one mistake after another.
But I still pried his fingers off one by one and smiled as I said no.
Yin Huan is a wicked woman everyone wants dead. She steals money, cheats people out of their virtue, and takes lives.
I have committed so many sins that I'm destined for the deepest level of hell. I don't mind adding a few more.

Theme: After a thousand trials, never forget your original purpose
It turns out that this kind of story is a story that the market doesn't like... But I really like it hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I especially love the "can be explained" in it. Everything is a closed loop, which is great. Every character has its own role. I really like Xiao Fu and Xiao Nie. In fact, in my opinion, it is the process of two people learning to accept themselves, bravely accepting and facing themselves. Although the author may not have this as a theme when writing, the article also said that Xiao Fu actually lived for others at the beginning, for his parents, and for the label of "noble daughter" Later, he firmly became a kite, free and leisurely. Xiao Nie also had a conflict with Xiao Fu when he was the emperor. Later, he let go and thought about it before turning back into a "wolf". Is there a saying that "recognize yourself, hate yourself, and accept yourself"? I don't remember, but that's probably what I mean. The author likes the fact that the main character is not indestructible. There are too many novels where he meets a strange person and is cured. In the article, the broken tendons are probably something that Chinese medicine cannot cure and Western medicine can remedy. There are also Xiao Nie's nails. These are the "incomplete beauty" (? It means the scars two people leave for each other, including the scars on the body. It does not mean that girls must have skin as smooth as gelatin and smooth without traces. When I first read it, I thought it was the author's first article. In fact, I have always read Danmei, especially the strong-powerful one. Probably... One or two romance books. It was a long time ago that I read romance novels, but this writing attracted me!! I just really like this kind of story where both sides are equal and strong. It has nothing to do with gender, even though Xiao Nie is a little princess! I thought it was the first article, so I felt that the description was a bit strange at the beginning... In fact, the description of the protagonist's appearance seems to be a common problem in all novels. The protagonist is always handsome, good-looking, and shocking. It is not wrong to say that it is wrong. After all, who doesn't love the love story of handsome men and beautiful women. However, in many scenes, the description of the protagonist as "beautiful as a fairy" is superfluous. Maybe you can try to spend more concise and less pen and ink? No need to keep stressing... After reading it at the end, I realized that... It seems... It's not the first time I've written a novel. (It's embarrassing... Although, I still feel that some of the author's words and sentences could be more concise. I like the story very much. Another thing is that many novels that involve emperors tend to describe them in detail before they ascend to the throne. After becoming emperor, they just pass it by. I have also seen the protagonist not wanting to be emperor and just leaving it to others. I'm not saying that those are bad because maybe I haven't read many ancient Chinese and ancient novels. This article is the first one I have read where you make a reasonable decision and then have both the cake and the eat. It is also the first article to spend a lot of ink describing the difficulty of making a choice between generals and emperors (if there are actually many and I don't know, it is because I really don't read many articles! I am short-sighted and Xiao Nie is also very responsible. He sheds the blood of Beirong and calls himself the king of Dong Qi. He also fights for Dong Qi until the end and resolves internal and external troubles before giving up. So Prince Zhao, I remember correctly, asked for a concubine to have a baby to inherit the throne when he was in his forties? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Is there anything we can't see?
I'm really touched. This article is so different from the traditional female heroes or female generals. Who said that the male and female protagonists must be perfect, invincible, and invincible. Failures, shortcomings, and misunderstandings are the norm. The two people gradually adapted to each other during the running-in process, and finally found what they wanted. After all the hardships, they never forgot their original aspirations. I hope the author can continue to be rebellious and write the articles he likes! Happy is the best!
... The emotional line can be called: I really want to kill you... It's so tiring to watch.
Can I post the 700 words I want to delete on Weibo?
Hahahahaha I died laughing, Snow Wolf vomited hahahahaha
I think Xiao Fu went too far. Even though Nie was at fault, he was always the one who was given up. He should be treated with more care.
By the way, the male protagonist is really miserable. A wife like Tan Xiaofu will never feel safe in her life. She always feels like she is going to run away. It's so funny.
Let me just say, the end of the last chapter felt a bit strange, the male protagonist didn't seem like someone who would do this.
Previous second: I can. Next second: I may not be able to.
