Elements of Legend of Female General the novel
I watched it on a whim not knowing that it will evoke all of my emotional response to reading the novel Legend of the Female General. This drama focuses on the part where fl after being "reborn" goes along with the family wish to marry and stay in the mansion of her insignificant spouse but here they show neither what the novel did, nor what the drama with Cheng Lei did. This version is brutal in showing how former general stripped of her freedom and privileges that came with faking being a man must adapt to being disrespected, humiliated and abused by men just because she is a woman and holds no power other than her husband's heart. She doesn't go back to reclaim her fame and merits stolen by her scumbag brother, nor sits tight in inner chambers until she gets offed by men, women and various others envious of her talents or position or threatened by possibility of being discovered for the fakes they are.Nothing really earth shattering here, just a nice variation on the same theme. FL is the leader so expect her take bedroom initiative (rather refreshing). 2fl is a transmigrator and gets really nothing, so I count that as a plus.

In the meantime, you can watch the drama on YouTube: "Reborn, on her wedding day she avoided fleeing, mended her cold husband’s heart, and won his love." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvf8CEn2nw0)
