Legend of the Female General

锦月如歌 ‧ Drama ‧ 2025
? Both female leads once dressed up as a male (general) and fought battles but in the end was betrayed by her own family
? Although there's no fantasy elements in LFG, the fight scenes are still good

Set in the Liu Song Dynasty (420-479), with powerful aristocrats clamoring for power, the people of the Liu Song Empire have succumbed to the ensuing chaos. Desperate to bring peace to his crumbling nation, the young emperor, Liu Yi Kang, son of Emperor Wu of Liu Song, the founder of the Liu Song Dynasty, is willing to do whatever it takes to save his people, but the road before him will not be easy. With most of the country’s powerful families plotting against him, Yi Kang’s list of allies is growing dangerously thin.
Knowing the only way to strengthen his position is to ally himself with a mighty family, Yi Kang agrees to an alliance through marriage with the powerful Shen family. A family with deep military roots, the Shen family can provide the strength Yi Kang needs to enact the reform necessary to oust the aristocrats bent on destroying the nation. With the family’s brilliant and beautiful, Shen Li Ge by his side, the two begin the arduous task of reformation.
Facing off against one of the nation’s most powerful and corrupt clans, Yi Kang and Li Ge must use every ounce of their wits and strength to defeat their foes. But peace doesn’t come without a price and the cost of this battle is tremendous. In the midst of so much heartache and despair, can this noble couple find a way to heal the wounds of a broken nation and at the same time, mend the wounds of their own broken hearts?

If you enjoyed "Queen Woo," you'll find "Legend of the Female General" equally captivating with its compelling blend of historical drama and strong female leads. This series delves into the life of a fearless woman warrior, delivering a riveting narrative filled with strategic battles, intricate politics, and powerful performances. Just like "Queen Woo," it features a rich historical backdrop and a determined heroine who defies societal expectations, making it a must-watch for fans who appreciate dynamic female characters and intense storytelling.

A woman disguises herself as a man and begins an epic journey surrounded by men. She hides her identity as a woman from the commander and she has a certain rivalry with him but also feelings.

DOES NO ONE RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA? Yet it's EXACTLY THE SAME AS LEGEND FEMALE GENERAL!!!!!

We find a woman disguised as a man and a commander, a romance while hiding her identity, and a quest for revenge afterwards.

Zhou Ye leads a fight in the adventure and I find a lot of her acting in both dramas. I think that just for the chemistry you might enjoy this xianxia
