    I read this novel between 2022 and 2023. I hadn't read the original "The Female General," so for me it was a fresh novel with a complete world-building and storyline. Its writing is profound yet humorous, and the clear plot didn't confuse someone like me who hadn't read it before. It also beautifully depicted the love between the two characters—an endless, invincible, cautious, and magnificent love. Years have passed, and I still think about it fondly. Finally, I found it on Jinjiang Literature City and gave it the five-star review that rightfully belonged to it.

    In a brief comment, my favorite character in this article is Sybil. She remained an independent and self-reliant person from beginning to end, which seems difficult but is extremely difficult. From life-and-death situations to choices about her own destiny, she always took the initiative. I have only seen such a strong will in "Portrait of a Lady on Fire". How many people who claim to be strong, how many characters who are called great female or male protagonists, can make their own choices in both desperate and favorable circumstances?
