   Sharing both hardship and prosperity is a rare and genuine story of love, which I appreciate. In the earlier chapters, you can freely criticize the male lead; he does have problems. However, later on, you'll discover he's not truly a bad person and ultimately deserves the female lead's affections; he's a very good person.

   Very good, as always. It's just that the epilogue portrays Bao Ying as having relationships with multiple men simultaneously. Some people think this is what a strong female lead is, but I think it's the original victim envying the perpetrator, and then, given the opportunity, imitating the perpetrator to oppress the weak. This isn't feminism; it's essentially wanting to be in a position of power and taking pride in oppressing others.

    The writing is excellent, and the logic is clear. I especially admire the author for not glossing over difficult plot points but instead devising logical developments. The plot is very solid, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the emotions are both restrained and passionate. In recent chapters, the male protagonist chooses national righteousness over seizing power in the capital to ascend the throne and repelling foreign invasion to protect the border people. The female protagonist, who has always been far-sighted, doesn't completely hand over the reins to the male protagonist at the last moment but continues to fight on her own, truly building her own empire. Her strength shines brightly! She's truly an extraordinary character! Righteous values, strong abilities, and a sweet romance. The two are such a perfect match. Author, please keep writing!
