The Frail, Brilliant Strategist

A frail, brilliant strategist gong vs. a resilient, highly skilled general shou

If the overpowered male lead has everything going for him, finding opportunities whenever he steps outside and receiving miraculous medicine from a mysterious old man while lounging at home, then the male lead of an angst-filled novel has nothing but misery.

Family? Doesn't exist. Friends? They'll betray him. Fate? Tragic. Himself? Fed to the wolves.

And the angst-filled novel above was written by Fu Luo.

And because he never bothered to finish it properly, he transmigrated into a book and came face-to-face with the protagonist.

Everyone here has their own thoughts, so here's the question: Why would the protagonist, who's suffered so much in his writing, insist on staying alive...

*

Fu Luo: "Why are you so determined to return to Qulan Forbidden City? If you think your very existence is a mistake, why go back there?"

The protagonist turned around and said, "I want to know why he gave me false information."

Fu Luo finally understood. So that's what it was!

During their escape, Fu Luo had the protagonist, gravely wounded and unable to fight, by his side, while a horde of vicious desert raiders pursued them from behind.

Beneath an endless twilight sky, he bent down and covered the eyes of the fierce young general, who was ready to fight to the death. In a low, gentle voice, he said, "Little General, let me show you a magic trick. Count to three, and they'll come rescue you!"

The plot revolves around the protagonist. An imaginary ancient setting, with no real-world dynasty as its model.

Side couple: the sunny little prince who disguises himself as a woman (Mo Chen) x the Right Chancellor, a master of pretense and acting (Shen Yusong)

Reader's guide:

(Not a simplistic novel, thank you!) (There are foreshadowed clues, and both the leads and supporting characters have their own schemes.)

1. A little sickness adds spice, a serious illness harms the body. First comes the spice, then the suffering.

2. I revise compulsively. Lots of revisions, and they keep getting longer.

3. They spoil each other. Of course, their relationship is equal, unless one of them falls in love first...

4. The emperor's love is unrequited. The little prince and the Right Chancellor are pure romance.
