I entirely agree with you, particularly when it comes to the female generals bit. In fact, I was glad that at least when she had her duel with Duan Ao Deng, she lost. Yes, she showed her resilience and determination, but biology cannot be denied. So at least, in that regard they still followed a rational outcome. This is perhaps the most important reason I enjoyed this a tiny bit more than LOTFG.
In the novels, these dramas are based on, the female generals’s battle prowess is written in a much more believable and realistic way, pity that LOTFG especially disregarded that.
I have rewatched this drama yet again, but I can’t find anything similar to it. Any recommendations? Please do bear in mind that I’ve watched loads of dramas 🤣
I'm glad I dropped it before the excruciating scenes came in where the ML beats and tortures her and even look…
Beats? You mean duels? To have a duel between two army commanders is normal. The only active “torture” was pressing hard with his thumb on her injured palm. That’s very light in comparison to the true torture prisoners of war went through in those days
I really was impressed with Prince Annan. Turned out, he was such an honorable man.
He wouldn’t have been so respected by all of the ministers if he wasn’t an exceptional Prince. He literally got the court on his side just by showing up 😅
I had paused watching at ep 15, waiting for Duan Aodeng to be back before picking up the drama again, and Cheng Lei has most definitely DELIVERED! Wow! His presence, speech, clothing, everything screams: Royal Excellence! The drama has finally picked up its pace past ep 30.
Binge-watched it, loved the chemistry between the FL&ML, the plot was okay except for the Demon Arc, which I think could’ve been executed in a better way. The Mortal Realm was great and their last-first meeting in the drama was perfectly set up.

She’s very pretty in the scene where she cries and eats her pear flowers though 🥺
