The female protagonist is well written, but I can't understand the male protagonist
I can understand that the male protagonist who is a political amateur is manipulated in various ways, but I can't understand that the male protagonist has no ideas. What does the hero want to do? Does co-governance follow the emperor's orders or do you have your own ideas? The puppet heroine's guard from the defeated country held the sword that killed the hero's fiancée and danced in front of and sideways. The hero kept smiling bitterly, and then had no idea at all, just because they wanted to rule together? Wasn't the blood pressure your sister-in-law gave you before? The author emphasized the profiling based on family ties. At that time, the male protagonist had no idea, but what about this time? Then you are the fiancée of the male protagonist who you have created for a long time! I don't even know what the author is doing. Does the Queen want to "prune" the guards? Let's fight this shit together! I don't understand how the author could write such a male protagonist with his writing skills? It's as if the author has taken on the role of the male protagonist and written it from God's perspective. Or is it that the author wants to write a "true group portrait", in which all the characters hold their thoughts in their hearts, and the various lines are intertwined, and then there is a big one, and suddenly the heroes come together, and the male protagonist bursts into a group of emotions? In short, I wish the author good luck with his creation and let the male protagonist have fun as soon as possible. I almost want to go in and dance with the male protagonist.
Problematic but worth pursuing
The biggest problem is that the protagonist, as the winner of the war and having lost two important people because of the war, is too submissive and harmonious after arriving in the kingdom. The death of his lover at the hands of the former king did not make him feel the slightest anger towards the kingdom. He was still timid before going to pay homage to his brother who died in battle for fear of offending his former enemies. He did not look like a sentimental soldier. After reading the introduction, I thought that the two sides would gradually move from suspicion and wariness to unity and cooperation, but the protagonist in the book just caters to them blindly and is led around. To be honest, I hope they can adjust in the future. Except for this shortcoming, the world view and plot advancement are very attractive, and most of the characters are also very distinct. The most important thing is that the protagonist is a native, not a time traveler who claims to be the protagonist, and there is no system plug-in beyond the world. He can only rely on his own ability and luck. This is much better than 90% of online novels.

I have read more than 100 chapters, and the overall impression is quite good. The author is a newcomer, but his writing is not like that of a novice. He writes well, has a clear worldview structure, and a complete currency system. From the descriptions of the relationships between various forces within the empire, the grievances, and the countries outside the empire that have and have not yet unfolded, the author has worked hard on the worldview. There was a complete structural framework before, and with the description and development of similar group portraits, it feels like It's like another real different world (but with less mysterious power, more like a Roman world with low magic). The settings of the male and female protagonists as well as the various supporting characters in the article feel quite good and very distinct. Each has its own characteristics, and judging from how the author describes it, it seems that there is a background story. It is not like a superficial character, but more like a real living person in the different world. Overall, this is a good book. If it were not a bit unpopular, I feel that the results would not be so bad. (I still lost because the subject matter is too unpopular.) The author has worked hard on the world view, all aspects of the world, and the character background. He also has a good understanding of the history of this historical period in the West, and is very attentive in writing. Almost every chapter has pictures, which feels very considerate, like reading a novel with illustrations. It is very comfortable (and the AI is adjusted well and the paintings are good). This is rare and worthy of praise. It may be the reason for the temporary recognition, and it is still actively responding to readers. In short, if you like Rome, Greek culture, or ancient Western history, the Western fantasy style, or articles about farming lords, you will definitely read this book.
I was a bit confused, so I specifically cast a vote.
I suggest that the author write less emotional lines. I don't know if he missed it. Is the heroine supposed to have been married to the late king for hundreds of years? If I hadn't missed it, this heroine setting is amazing. At least this is the first time I've seen it in so many years. This kind of widow setting can't attract married readers. It's still too outrageous after hundreds of years. I hope the author will write more about the career line and not put too much emphasis on the emotional line. It would be better not to write about it at all. However, your setting of a strong heroine is unlikely. I feel that the probability of being disappointed with this setting is actually very high. Of course, if it becomes popular later, I will accept it and slap me in the face. Then I will cast a few monthly votes to show my support.

Stories hidden by niche themes
Western fantasy, especially the sword and magic genre, is really becoming more and more niche, but it is rare to see a good novel again. I hope the author can stick to it.
Heroine
This is the author's picture. I think it looks better than the current one, so I shamelessly uploaded it
The writing style is not like that of a newcomer. I read the latest chapter in one breath, but the setting of the male protagonist is not good enough to give people the feeling of "Asashi" of a Japanese-style western fantasy male protagonist, not like a general on the battlefield.
